UEB-unicode-braille-to-ascii

This does what it says, it converts unicode braille to the ascii braille format and back. We have included the tables we used to do the conversion in braille-encoding-converter.js

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node should be at least version 8.11

Installing

If just working on the package locally

npm i ueb-unicode-braille-to-ascii

Deployment

When adding this package into another node project add this to the package.json devDependencies.

"dependencies": {
    "ueb-unicode-braille-to-ascii" : "<version>",
}

With <version> being replaced with the most up to date release of this package.

To get this puppy going require the braille-encoding converter and call the function of interest on the string you want to convert For example

const converter = require("ueb-unicode-braille-to-ascii")

const asciiBraille = converter.unicodeToASCII(someUnicodeBrailleVariable)
const unicodeBraille = converter.asciiToUnicode(asciiBraille)

You can also use the tables by

const converter = require("ueb-unicode-braille-to-ascii")

const asciiToUnicodeTable = converter.asciiBrailleToUnicodeTable
const unicodeToASCIITable = converter.unicodeBrailleToASCIITable

Development

If you want to add a braille encoding translation: Add a table and a function to braille-encoding-converter.js that takes in a string and converts it to the desired form. Update the export in braille-encoding-converter.js Update the test.js to have a test for your new encoding ????? Profit!

Have a look at braille-encoding-converter to see how we did unicode to ASCII and back.

Running the tests

Run npm test to run tests.
