Provides a collection of named character references commonly used in HTML. It offers functions to check if a character is a named character reference, retrieve information about a named character reference, and obtain an iterable of all named character references. This module is useful for handling and manipulating HTML character references in your web development projects.

You can install this module using npm or yarn:

npm install named-characters

# or

yarn add named-characters

You can use the isNamedChar function to check if a character is a named character reference. It returns true if the character is a named character reference, and false otherwise.

import { isNamedChar } from 'named-characters'

isNamedChar('<') // yields: true
isNamedChar('lt') // yields: true
isNamedChar('&') // yields: true
isNamedChar('&') // yields: true
isNamedChar('amp') // yields: true
isNamedChar('&amp') // yields: false
isNamedChar('amp;') // yields: false
isNamedChar('&foo;') // yields: false

To retrieve information about a named character reference, use the getCharInfo function. It returns an object containing the name, Unicode code point, and glyph representation of the character reference. If the character is not found, it returns undefined.

import { getCharInfo } from 'named-characters'

const charInfo = getCharInfo('♥')

console.log(charInfo)

Yields:

{
  name: 'hearts',
  unicode: 'U+02665',
  glyph: '♥'
}

To obtain an iterable of all named character references, you can use the getCharRefs function. It returns an iterable that allows you to iterate through all the named character references in the collection.

import { getCharRefs } from 'named-characters'

const charRefs = getCharRefs()

for (const charInfo of charRefs) {
  console.log(charInfo)
}

Yields:

{ name: 'AElig', unicode: 'U+000C6', glyph: 'Æ' }
{ name: 'AMP', unicode: 'U+00026', glyph: '&' }
{ name: 'Aacute', unicode: 'U+000C1', glyph: 'Á' }
{ name: 'Abreve', unicode: 'U+00102', glyph: 'Ă' }
{ name: 'Acirc', unicode: 'U+000C2', glyph: 'Â' }
