Latinize.js [deprecated]

! This library is deprecated !
As an alternative you can user the transliterate package instead.

Simple library to convert accents (diacritics) from strings to latin characters.

Install

npm install latinize

For CommonJS module format use the 1.x version

npm install latinize@1

Usage

ES module

import latinize from 'latinize';
latinize('ỆᶍǍᶆṔƚÉ áéíóúýčďěňřšťžů'); // => 'ExAmPlE aeiouycdenrstzu'

You can use the latinize.characters object to access the translation table and pass custom mapping as a second argument:

// modify the behavior for German umlauts
const characters = {
  ...latinize.characters,
  'Ä': 'Ae', 'Ö': 'Oe', 'Ü': 'Ue', 'ä': 'ae', 'ö': 'oe', 'ü': 'ue'
};
latinize('ÄÖ', characters) // => "AeOe"
