Installation

> npm install vtranslit

Node usage

const { vTranslit } = require('vtranslit');

// install necessary schemes from npm (links given above)
const { vTranslitSchemeDeva } = require('vtranslit-scheme-deva');
const { vTranslitSchemeItrn } = require('vtranslit-scheme-itrn');

// add schemes to vTranslit
const vtranslit = vTranslit(
  [
    vTranslitSchemeDeva,
    vTranslitSchemeItrn
  ]
);

// from ITRANS scheme to Devanagari scheme
const vtItrnToDeva = vtranslit.init('Itrn', 'Deva');

console.log(vtItrnToDeva('<stringToTransliterate>');

// from Devanagari scheme to ITRANS scheme
const vtDevaToItrn = vtranslit.init('Deva', 'Itrn');

console.log(vtDevaToItrn('<stringToTransliterate>');

The codes for scheme are based on the ISO 15924 (Codes for the representation of names of scripts), expect ITRANS which is given a similar code in accordance with the standards definition.
