# Alphabets
|
|
|
|
A tiny JS dependency which exports many alphabets for many use cases.
|
|
|
|
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/alphabets)
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
I have seen [code like this](https://github.com/search?q=%27abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz%27.split%28%27%27%29+language%3AJavaScript&type=code&l=JavaScript):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.split('');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or [worse](https://github.com/search?q=%5B%22a%22%2C+%22b%22%2C+%22c%22%2C+%22d%22%2C+%22e%22%2C+%22f%22%2C+%22g%22%2C+%22h%22%2C+%22i%22%2C+%22j%22%2C+%22k%22%2C+%22l%22%2C+%22m%22%2C+%22n%22%2C+%22o%22%2C+%22p%22%2C+%22q%22%2C+%22r%22%2C+%22s%22%2C+%22t%22%2C+%22u%22%2C+%22v%22%2C+%22w%22%2C+%22x%22%2C+%22y%22%2C+%22z%22%5D+language%3AJavaScript&type=code&l=JavaScript):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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, why not [do it like this](#how-to-use):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import { latin } from 'alphabets';
|
|
|
|
doSomethingWithTheAlphabet(latin);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Much cleaner, right?
|
|
|
|
## Installation
