Getting started

There are two main ways to get PersianTools.js in your JavaScript project: via script tags or by installing it from NPM and using a build tool like Parcel, WebPack, or Rollup.

via Script Tag

Add the following code to an HTML file:

<html>
    <head>
        <!-- Load PersianTools.js -->
        <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@persian-tools/persian-tools/build/persian-tools.umd.js"></script>

        <!-- Place your code in the script tag below. You can also use an external .js file -->
        <script type="text/javascript">
            // Notice there is no 'import' statement. 'all persian-tools functions like digitsEnToFa, etc...' is available on the index-page
            // because of the script tag above.

            // Takes a string made of English digits only, and returns a string that represents the same number but with Persian digits
            var convertToFa = PersianTools.digitsEnToFa(1234567);

            // etc...
        </script>
    </head>

    <body></body>
</html>

Open up that html file in your browser, and the code should run!

Install the PersianTools to your project using yarn or npm. Note: Because we use ES2017 syntax (such as import), this workflow assumes you are using a modern browser, or a bundler/transpiler to convert your code to something older browsers understand.

$ npm install --save @persian-tools/persian-tools

$ yarn add @persian-tools/persian-tools

Simple usage

import * as persianTools from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";
// or
import { digitsEnToFa } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

// Takes a string made of English digits only, and returns a string that represents the same number but with Persian digits
const convertedToFa = persianTools.digitsEnToFa(1234567);
// or
const convertedToFa = digitsEnToFa(1234567);

Usage

Let's take a look at what an example test case would look like using Persian-tools.

Convert Persian words to the number

Options	Description	Default
`fuzzy`(Beta)	Fix typo in the Persian words by using `levenshtein` algorithm	`false`
`digits`	Result will be converted to the English or Persian digits	`en`
`addCommas`	Commas will be added to the Result	`false`

Convert with no option

import { wordsToNumber } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

wordsToNumber("منفی سه هزارمین"); // -3000
wordsToNumber("منفی سه هزارم"); // -3000
wordsToNumber("منفی سه هزار"); // -3000
wordsToNumber("سه هزار دویست و دوازده"); // 3212
wordsToNumber("دوازده هزار بیست دو"); // 12022

Digits converter

wordsToNumber("منفی سه هزارمین", { digits: "fa" }); // "-۳۰۰۰"
wordsToNumber("دوازده هزار بیست دو", { digits: "fa" }); // ۱۲۰۲۲

Add commas

wordsToNumber("منفی سه هزارمین", { addCommas: true }); // "-3,000"
wordsToNumber("دوازده هزار بیست دو", { addCommas: true }); // "12,022"

Fuzzy typo fixer(v1.5.0):

import { WordsToNumber } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

wordsToNumber("یگصد و بنجاه هزار", { fuzzy: true }); // "150000"
wordsToNumber("دویشت ر بیشت هزار", { fuzzy: true }); // "220000"
wordsToNumber("منقی ضد", { fuzzy: true }); // "-100"

Convert Numbers to Persian words

import { numberToWords } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

numberToWords(500443); // "پانصد هزار و چهار صد و چهل و سه"
numberToWords("500,443"); // "پانصد هزار و چهار صد و چهل و سه"
numberToWords("500,443", { ordinal: true }); // "پانصد هزار و چهار صد و چهل و سوم"
numberToWords(30000000000); // "سی میلیارد"

NOTE: This function supports the largest safe integer (9007199254740991 / 2^53 - 1)

Add and remove commas

import { addCommas, removeCommas } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

addCommas(30000000); // "30,000,000"

removeCommas("30,000,000"); // 30000000

Convert Persian numbers to Arabic or English numbers and vice versa

import {
    digitsArToFa,
    digitsArToEn,
    digitsEnToFa,
    digitsFaToEn,
    digitsEnToAr,
    digitsFaToAr,
} from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

digitsArToFa("۸۹123۴۵"); // "۸۹123۴۵"

digitsArToEn("٨٩123٤٥"); // "8912345"

digitsEnToFa("123۴۵۶"); // "۱۲۳۴۵۶"

digitsEnToAr("123٤٥٦"); // "۱۲۳٤٥٦"

digitsFaToAr("۱۷۸۲۳۴۰۵۶۹"); // ١٧٨٢٣٤٠٥٦٩

Validate Iranian national number(code-e Melli)

import { verifyIranianNationalId, getPlaceByIranNationalId } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

verifyIranianNationalId("0499370899"); // true
verifyIranianNationalId("0684159415"); // false

Validate Iranian legal id(shenase hoghoghi)

import { verifyIranianLegalId } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

verifyIranianLegalId(10380285692); // false
verifyIranianLegalId(10380284790); // true

Find city and province name by national-id(code-e Melli)

getPlaceByIranNationalId("0084575948").city; // "تهران مرکزی"

Bank number validation and get the name of the bank by bank account number

import { verifyCardNumber, getBankNameFromCardNumber } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

verifyCardNumber(6037701689095443); // true

getBankNameFromCardNumber("6219861034529007"); // "بانک سامان"

Validate the correctness of the text of the Persian language and clear the Arabic letters in the Persian text.

import { isPersian, hasPersian, toPersianChars } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

isPersian("این یک متن فارسی است؟"); // true
isPersian("Lorem Ipsum Test"); // false
isPersian("هل هذا نص فارسي؟"); // false

hasPersian("This text includes فارسی"); // true

toPersianChars("علي"); // علی

Note: You can pass 2 more options to isPersian to customize it as your needs:

isComplex: If you pass true, Then it accepts some of regular arabic characters which are commons in persian texts.(default is false)
trimPattern: By default the function skips some of characters e.g. "'-+()؟. and whitespaces. You can pass your own customized regex as you need.

Fix Persian characters in URL.

import { URLfix } from "@persian-tools/persian-tools";

URLfix(
    "https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%88%DB%8C%DA%A9%DB%8C:Gadget-Extra-Editbuttons-botworks.js",
); // "https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/مدیاویکی:Gadget-Extra-Editbuttons-botworks.js"
URLfix("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_alphabet"); // "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_alphabet",
URLfix("Sample Text"); // "Sample Text"
