Alphabets
A tiny JS dependency which exports many alphabets for many use cases.
Why
I have seen code like this:
const alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.split('');
Or worse:
const alphabet = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"];
My opinion about this: it's ugly, and it pollutes your code. Instead, you should do it like so:
import { latin } from 'alphabets';
// or
const alphabets = require('alphabets');
doSomethingWithTheAlphabet(latin);
Much cleaner, right?
Installation
Use npm: npm i alphabets
. Or if you prefer Yarn: yarn add alphabets
.
