Morse Node

A very tiny, dependency-free Morse code encoder and decoder. Currently supports the ITU standard.

Install

npm install morse-node

Getting Started

Setup API

 var morse = require('morse-node').create("ITU");

Encoding

• All alphanumeric characters are accepted, available symbols includes everything inside the brackets [ . , ? ' ! / ( ) & : ; = + - _ " $ @ ].

var msg = morse.encode('The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.');

Decoding

• Letters are seperated by a single space.
• Words are seperated by a forward slash " / ".

var msg = morse.decode("- .... ./--.- ..- .. -.-. -.-/-... .-. --- .-- -./..-. --- -..-/.--- ..- -- .--. . -../--- ...- . .-./- .... ./.-.. .- --.. -.--/-.. --- --. .-.-.-");

isValid

• Check validity of a string by using the isValid function.
• Encoding and decoding functions do not make this check and will attempt to translate your string regardless of undefined characters.

Example

example.js

var morse = require('morse-node').create();
 
var encoded = morse.encode('Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs!');
console.log(encoded);
 
var decoded = morse.decode(encoded);
console.log(decoded);
 
console.log(morse.isValid(encoded, "morse"));
console.log(morse.isValid(encoded += "asdf", "morse"));
console.log(morse.isValid(decoded, "chars"));
console.log(morse.isValid(decoded += "~", "chars"));

Output

.--. .- -.-. -.- / -- -.-- / -... --- -..- / .-- .. - .... / ..-. .. ...- . / -.. --- --.. . -. / .-.. .. --.- ..- --- .-. / .--- ..- --. ... -.-.--
