Furigana
This Web Component is the easiest way to write japanese with furigana.
In HTML if you want to display 漢字 you need to write:
<ruby>漢
<rp>(</rp>
<rt>かん</rt>
<rp>)</rp>
</ruby>
<ruby>字
<rp>(</rp>
<rt>じ</rt>
<rp>)</rp>
</ruby>Disclaimer
Yes.rptags are not a compulsory.😀
With Furigana Web Component, things become easy:
<wc-furigana value="漢[かん]字[じ]" />Check out how to use the component in details here: Furigana.
TL;DR
- Write furigana inside square brackets:
桜[さくら]. - Spaces will indicate which characters the furigana are above:
私[わたし]はフランス 人[じん]です。. - Double spaces if you want to display a space character:
一 二 三.
Framework integrations
Note
The following applies the support for IE11, see below if you don't care about it.
Vue

- Install the package
npm i @paulbarre/wc-furigana
- Modify the main file of your application to import the package:
main.js or main.ts if you are using TypeScript
import { applyPolyfills, defineCustomElements } from '@paulbarre/wc-furigana/loader'
// The following can be set into your `vue.config.js` file
Vue.config.ignoredElements = [/wc-furigana/]
applyPolyfills().then(() => {
defineCustomElements(window)
})- Add a
wc-furiganatoApp.vueto see if the component is correctly loaded
If the above doesn't work, check out Stencil documentation about integration into a Vue app.

}]
]

Angular
The following consider an application created with Angular CLI.
- Install the package
npm i @paulbarre/wc-furigana
- You first need to add
CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMAto your application:
app.module.ts
import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
@NgModule({
...
schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
})
export class AppModule { }- Modify the main file to import the package:
main.ts
import { applyPolyfills, defineCustomElements } from '@paulbarre/wc-furigana/loader'
applyPolyfills().then(() => {
defineCustomElements(window)
})- Add a

- Import the package into
index.js
import { applyPolyfills, defineCustomElements } from '@paulbarre/wc-furigana/loader'
applyPolyfills().then(() => {
defineCustomElements(window)
})- Add a

I don't care about IE11
If you don't need to support IE11, no need to apply Polyfills:
import { defineCustomElements } from '@paulbarre/wc-furigana/loader'
defineCustomElements(window)I don't use a framework
Adding the Web Component into a single file without any framework is also possible
