Jota Parser finds references to Bible passages in the given text.

For example it will understand that "Read J 3 16" refers to the Gospel of John chapter 3 verse 16. Lots of examples of what it can parse are presented here.

The output of parsing is an array of references, where reference can be a:

1. Single chapter: [bookIndex, chapter]
2. Single verse: [bookIndex, chapter, verse]
3. Range of verses in a single chapter: [bookIndex, chapter, startVerse, endVerse]
4. Chapter crossing range of verses: [[bookIndex1, chapter1, verse1?], [bookIndex2, chapter2, verse2?]]

Currently supported locales: en-US, pl-PT, pt-BR. Locale bundles provide support for parsing names of books in the given language.

Usage

ES6:

import { Parser, enUS } from 'jota-parser'
const parser = new Parser({ locales: [enUS] })
console.log(parser.parse('J 3 16'))

Browser:

<script type="module">
  import { Parser, enUS } from "https://unpkg.com/jota-parser?module"
  const parser = new Parser({locales: [enUS]})
  console.log(parser.parse('Read J 3:16'))
</script>

npm run build

Unit test

npm run test

Deploy github pages

npm run deploy:gh-pages

Add support for a new locale
