Micro module to help eliminate one of the [bad typewriter habits][habits].

Install

``sh npm install --save typographic-apostrophes`

`Usage`

Use typographic apostrophes in contractions and for possessive case. This module don't cover posessive plurals, because it’s impossible to distinguish it from single closing quote.

That's why I created [typographic-apostrophes-for-possessive-plurals][plurals], but it can be used safely only if there are zero closing quotes in the input; this can be achieved by [typographic-quotes][quotes]. That’s why for ideal result you should use all three modules in the chain: apostrophes → quotes → apostrophes-for-possessive-plurals (order is important).

`js var apostrophes = require('typographic-apostrophes');

apostrophes(I'm looking forward); // I’m looking forward apostrophes(Don't do it!); // Don’t do it! apostrophes(as in the eagle's feathers); // as in the eagle’s feathers apostrophes(in one month's time); // in one month’s time apostrophes('60s and '80s); // ’60s and ’80s apostrophes(rock'n'roll); // rock’n’roll apostrophes(rock 'n' roll); // rock ’n’ roll``
