spanish-determiners

A simple Node.js module that contains Spanish determiners.

For instance el is the definite article for masculine singular.

It exposes a single function, getDet, that takes 3 arguments:

• determiner type (string, mandatory): DEFINITE INDEFINITE DEMONSTRATIVE or POSSESSIVE
• gender of the object (string, mandatory): M for masculine, F for feminine
• number of the object (string, mandatory): S for singular, P for plural
• the word (noun or adjective) that will come after the determiner; it is used only when type is DEFINITE or INDEFINITE to manage feminine el case (el agua)
• the type of distance, when DEMONSTRATIVE: PROXIMAL, MEDIAL or DISTAL, PROXIMAL is the default

POSSESSIVE only works for 3rd person S or P (generates su or sus, depending of the possessed object, not the possessor), thus information about the owner is not required.

Installation

npm install spanish-determiners

Usage

const determiners = require('spanish-determiners');

// el
console.log(determiners.getDet('DEFINITE', 'M', 'S', 'hombre', null));

// el
console.log(determiners.getDet('DEFINITE', 'F', 'S', 'agua', null));

// aquella
console.log(determiners.getDet('DEMONSTRATIVE', 'F', 'S', null, 'DISTAL'));
