mecab-ya

Yet another mecab wrapper for nodejs and the main purpose is easy to use.

Mecab is a morphological analyzer for Japanease language.

And you can use this for Korean language with mecab-ko.

$ node_modules/mecab-ya/bin/install-mecab.sh ko

Usage

mecab-ya use the mecab library in the node_modules/mecab-ya/mecab directory.

But, you can set a mecab library path like below.

mecab.pos(text, function (err, result) {
    console.log(result);
    /*
        [ [ '아버지', 'NNG' ],
          [ '가', 'JKS' ],
          [ '방', 'NNG' ],

          [ '신다', 'EP+EC' ] ]
    */
});

mecab.morphs(text, function (err, result) {
    console.log(result);
    /*
        [ '아버지', '가', '방', '에', '들어가', '신다' ]
