ISO15924:2004 - Codes for the representation of names of scripts

The ISO 15924:2004 standard specifies all of the 252 script codes. The codes are maintained by The Unicode Consortium, who also publishes the full list of codes.

Installation

ISO15924 is a scoped package, the scope needs to be provided for both the installation and usage.

$ npm install --save @konfirm/iso15924

Usage

The ISO15924 package exports a factory function, this function is used to obtain instances of the ISO15924 class.

const iso15924 = require('@konfirm/iso15924');
const latn = iso15924('Latn');

latn.code; // 'Latn'
latn.numeric; // '215'

The exported factory function in turn also has several added members for convenience

ISO15924

The ISO15924 class used to create the specified value objects.

Creating instances directly is useful to reduce the footprint of any dependent implementation, but skips lookups for the numeric code. Use this if there is a need for a full custom code (where the range Qaaa..Qabx inteded for private use does not suffice) or in case codes have been added and this module is not on par (in which case PR's are welcome).

const { ISO15924 } = require('@konfirm/iso15924');
const latn = new ISO15924('Latn');

latn.code; // 'Latn'
latn.numeric; // undefined

const cyrl = new ISO15924('Cyrl', '220');

cyrl.code; // 'Cyrl'
cyrl.numeric; // '220'

code(string code)

The same as the main exported factory function.

const { code } = require('@konfirm/iso15924');
const cyrl = code('Cyrl');

cyrl.code; // 'Cyrl'
cyrl.numeric; // '220'

numeric(string|number numeric)

Obtain the ISO15924 instance by its numeric code;

const { numeric } = require('@konfirm/iso15924');
const cyrl = numeric('220');

cyrl.code; // 'Cyrl'
cyrl.numeric; // '220'
