MetamorPOV

This library provides the translation logic for the MetamorPOV browser extension. It exports a single function to replace specific plaintext markers (such as Y/n, pov/s, and vrb/do/present/) with their English equivalents.

Usage

After installing the package and including it in your file header, you can call the single function that MetamorPOV exports.

const input = "Pov/s vrb/present/like/ watching birds.";
const options = {
  name: "Amelia",
  preset: "she",
  pov: "third"
};

// "She likes watching birds."
console.log(metamorpov.translate(input, options));

Development

MetamorPOV requires Node packages for evaluating some grammar rules. You'll need Node installed globally. As an alternative, install Nix and type nix develop with the experimental flakes feature enabled. After that, from the extension's root directory:

# Install project dependencies
npm install

# Run the test script
npm run test
