## Use
You can use Typopo as an [online app](#online-app), [VS Code extension](#vs-code-extension), or [NPM package](#npm-package).
### Online app
URL → [https://typopo.org/](https://typopo.org/)
The online app is useful especially when you’re a book designer or a DTP operator. Before you typeset raw texts in a DTP app of your choice, run it through Typopo and fix microtypography with a single click.
### VS Code extension
### Installation
#### ES Module (Recommended)
For modern Node.js and bundler environments:
```bash
npm install typopo
```
```javascript
import { fixTypos } from 'typopo';
```
#### CommonJS
For legacy Node.js environments or when require() is needed:
```javascript
const { fixTypos } = require('typopo');
```
#### Browser/UMD
For direct browser usage without a bundler:
```html
```
#### TypeScript Support
Typopo includes TypeScript type definitions for enhanced type safety and autocomplete:
```typescript
import { fixTypos, TypopoLocale, TypopoConfiguration } from 'typopo';
// TypeScript provides autocomplete for locales
const locale: TypopoLocale = 'en-us'; // 'en-us' | 'de-de' | 'sk' | 'cs' | 'rue'
// Type-safe configuration
const config: TypopoConfiguration = {
removeLines: true
};
// Full type checking
const result: string = fixTypos('Your text here', locale, config);
```
The library is written in JavaScript, but ships with type definitions for TypeScript users.
Check out the [API](#api) section for usage details.
### API
Fix typos in given text (string) and locale; with an optional configuration:
```javascript
fixTypos(string, locale, [configuration])
```
Locale options (supported languages):
- "en-us" (English, default)
- "rue" (Rusyn)
- "sk" (Slovak)
- "cs" (Czech)
- "de-de" (German)
Optional configuration as a JavaScript object:
```javascript
configuration = {
// If true, removes empty lines between paragraphs
removeLines : true,
}
```
