A tiny JS package that exports many different alphabets for many different use cases.
See below for usage instructions.

Install the alphabets npm module using your preferred package manager:
- npm:
npm install alphabets
- Yarn:
yarn add alphabets
- pnpm:
pnpm add alphabets
You can also use it with Deno by importing https://deno.land/x/alphabets/alphabets.mjs
.
Replace <alphabetYouWantToUse>
with an alphabet identifier this package exports:
import { <alphabetYouWantToUse> } from 'alphabets';
Deno:
import { <alphabetYouWantToUse> } from 'https://deno.land/x/alphabets/alphabets.mjs';
or:
const alphabets = require('alphabets');
console.log(alphabets.<alphabetYouWantToUse>);
I have seen code like this:
const alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.split('');
Or even 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, why not do it like this:
import { latin } from 'alphabets';
for (const glyph of latin) {/* ... */}
This is much cleaner and more idiomatic.
Did you find a mistake in an alphabet, or another bug? Please report it — thank you! I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.
You may use the same issue form for questions, too.
