Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

greek-transliteration

A JavaScript package for creating custom transliterations of Greek.

install

npm

npm i greek-transliteration

local

Download or clone this repository.

cd greek-transliteration
npm install
npm run build

example

const grc = require("greek-transliteration");
grc.transliterate("θεός");
// "theos"

DOCS

transliterate()

Takes string and optionally a Schema or Partial<Schema>.

grc.transliterate("υἱοῦ θεοῦ");
// "huiou theou"

If no Schema is passed, then the package defaults to SBL's academic style.

You can pass in a Partial<Schema> that will modify SBL's academic style:

grc.transliterate("θεος", { SMALL_THETA: "þ" });
// "þeous"

If you need a fully customized transliteration, it is best to use the Schema constructor:

const schema = new grc.Schema({
  SMALL_EPSILON: "3",
  SMALL_THETA: "þ",
  SMALL_OMICRON: "ø",
  SMALL_FINAL_SIGMA: "ß",
  ...
}) // truncated for brevity

grc.transliterate("θεος", schema);
// "þ3øß"

Schema

A Schema is used to define a schema for transliteration. See the Schema source for all available properties.

The Schema can be divided into a few categories.

small

Small characters are required and represent the basic Greek lowercase characters — αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρστυφχψω.

They are all prefixed with SMALL_.

grc.transliterate("α", { SMALL_ALPHA: "a" });
// "a"

capital

Uppercase characters are not required and represent the basic Greek uppercase characters — ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ.

They are all prefixed with CAPITAL_.

If no transliteration is provided, the schema defaults to calling .toUpperCase() on the small form. This is true of any property with CAPITAL_.

const schema = new grc.Schema({
  SMALL_ALPHA: "a",
  CAPITAL_DELTA: "D"
  ...
}) // truncated for brevity
grc.transliterate("AΔ", schema);
// "AD"

orthographies

gamma nasal

The SMALL_GAMMA_NASAL and CAPITAL_GAMMA_NASAL represent a gamma any time it is followed by a gamma, kappa, xi, or chi (e.g. γγ, γκ, γξ, γχ).

grc.transliterate("ἄγγελος", { SMALL_GAMMA_NASAL: "n" });
// "angelos"
double rho

The SMALL_DOUBLE_RHO and CAPITAL_DOUBLE_RHO represent any two rhos together (e.g. ρρ).

grc.transliterate("Πύρρος", { SMALL_DOUBLE_RHO: "rrh" });
// "Pyrrhos"
upsilon dipthong

The SMALL_UPSILON_DIPTHONG and CAPITAL_UPSILON_DIPTHONG represent anytime when a upsilon is used in a diphthong (e.g. αυ, ευ, ηυ, ου, υι)

grc.transliterate("αυτου", { SMALL_UPSILON_DIPTHONG: "u" });
// "autou"

// BUT, if a DIAERESIS is separating the diphthong
transliterate("πραϋσμός", { SMALL_UPSILON_DIPTHONG: "u" });
// "praysmos"
rough breathing mark

The ROUGH_BREATHING_MARK represents the DASIA character, used over vowels and rho.

grc.transliterate("ὕμνος", { ROUGH_BREATHING_MARK: "h" });
// "hymnos"

functionality

There is one property for functionality called preserveCapitals.

If preserveCapitals is false, then all capital Greek characters are converted to their small (i.e. lowercase) forms.

grc.transliterate("Αα", { preserveCapitals: false });
// "aa"
