> Textr is simple framework to compose text transformation functions
Textr is good instrument to create modular tools to [make your typography better][bad-habits].
It can compose any functions that get text, transform it and return result of
processing. For example, check out few: [typographic-quotes][typographic-quotes],
[typographic-math-symbols][typographic-math-symbols],
[typographic-em-dashes][typographic-em-dashes] and [typographic-ellipses][typographic-ellipses].
Plugins are available on npm, labelled with [textr][textr-npm]
keyword. Also you can easily create new one. Don’t be scared.
Typography for everybody! At the same time it’s impossible to create one ideal
typographic engine. It doesn’t work this way. What we can do with it? We can
easily create and maintain small, simple, full-tested and single responsible
modules. After this we can compose bunch of these well done modules for every
specific situation we need, and everybody will be happy with it’s
own ideal text transformer.
```
npm install --save textr
`js
var textr = require('textr');
var ellipses = require('typographic-ellipses');
var spaces = require('typographic-single-spaces');
var quotes = require('typographic-quotes');
// Create new text transformer by compose yours
tf = textr({ locale: 'ru'})
.use(ellipses)
.use(spaces)
.use(quotes)
.use(String.prototype.trim)
;
// then just send some text to the transformer
tf('Hello "world"...\n'); // Hello «world»…
`
Create new textr transform function (tf). You can pass default options when
create new transform stack.
Register transform function as tf middleware.
Process given text by the middlewares.
Identical to tf.exec(text). This alias makes tf just regular transformtextr
function, that you can register as middleware for as well.
`js
var typorgapher = textr().use(typography, tools, here)
var autocorrector = textr().use(autocorrection, things)
var smiles = textr().use(text, to, smiles, goodies)
var tf = textr()
.use(typographer)
.use(autocorrector)
.use(smiles)
;
tf(text); // oh, that's awesome!11
`
Each plugin will be called with 2 arguments: text and optionstextr()
setted on .
``
function plugin(text, options) {
console.log(options); // { locale: 'ru' }
return text;
}
To support String.prototype methods as transformation functions, this valuetext`.
