Bazi Converter

Simple Bazi Converter API in NodeJS

Installation

npm install bazi-converter

Using it

You can get a new Bazi result by initialising the BaziConverter with these params: Year, Month, Day, Hour of birth (in 24 hour format)

import BaziConverter from 'bazi-converter'

let bazi = new BaziConverter(1993,5,10,20);

//returns { year: '癸酉', month: '丁巳', day: '辛卯', time: '戊戌' }
console.log(bazi.getBaziJson())

/* returns the English mapping of the Bazi result
    {
      year: 'Metal Rooster',
      month: 'Fire Snake',
      day: 'Wood Rabbit',
      time: 'Earth Dog'
    }
*/
console.log(bazi.translateBaziEnglish());

//returns 癸酉年丁巳月辛卯日戊戌时
console.log(bazi.getBaziChineseFullString());

The mappings in the data is scrapped from https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ba_Zi/1991 - https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ba_Zi/2033.

The hour mapping is scrapped from https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ba_Zi/Hour_Pillar.

The heavenly stems mapping is scrapped from https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ba_Zi/Heavenly_Stems.

The earthly branches mapping is scrapped from https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ba_Zi/Earthly_Branches.

This data allowed me to create a simple mapping and conversion logic for Bazi. It will not have been possible for me to create this package without their data.
