A input method library for Vietnamese input engine written completely in Rust

What is this?

Since typing Vietnamese on Linux is pretty painful at the momment, a better input engine is always needed. To accommodate the future engines that will be built in Rust, this library existed to transform key inputs into the Vietnamese string output.

If you wish to find out how it works, I have written a short blog post (in Vietnamese) on how the library place a tone mark when it received the user input. Read it here.

Installation

Add vi to your dependencies in Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
vi = "0.7.0"

Examples

With vi, you can start building your own Vietnamese IME without worrying about how Vietnamese tone mark placement works. All you have to do is to implement a keyboard listener & a key sending system.

extern crate vi;

use vi::vni;

fn main() {
    let inputs = vec![
        vec!['v', 'i', 'e', 't', '6', '5'],
        vec!['n', 'a', 'm']
    ];

    let mut result = String::new();
    for input in inputs {
        vni::transform_buffer(input.iter().cloned(), &mut result);
        result.push(' ');
    }
    
    println!("{}", result); // prints "việt nam "
}

Please refer to the examples/ directory to learn more.
