# GoArabic

A Go Lang package for dealing with Arabic text.

This is an initial work on a set of Go functions developed to enhance Arabic web applications.

It all started when I wanted to develop a self-hosted no-dependency and standalone Arabic Captcha in Go (for fun, as I was discovering Go ~8 yrs ago), and as expected, the Arabic text wasn't rendered as it should:

![Before processing](https://res.cloudinary.com/walid/image/upload/v1429186546/before_pcyoha.png)

So I started playing with Glyphs, unicode, and the special Arabic rules for joining letters. After a bit of work, I got this:

![Before processing](https://res.cloudinary.com/walid/image/upload/v1429186546/after_cmkukt.png)

shouldn't this be a separated package, along with other functionalities? I guess it should!

## Current functionalities

- Glyph representation of the given Arabic text for images/pdf .. etc generation.

- Strip Tashkeel (Arabic Vowels).

- SmartLengh: return the length of the given Arabic String without considering Tashkeel (Arabic Vowels).

- Strip Tatweel

- rune-wise (UTF-8) reverse of the Arabic text, leaving out the Latin one.

## Todo

- Arabic text normalization (Unshaping)

- Add support for some special Quran text characters in Glyphs

- Richer SmartLengh, ignoring some special characters.

- Slugify: a simple Arabic slug generation. Striping Tashkeel and other special chars.

- Spell numbers in Arabic idiom.

- Present dates in Arabic or Hijri and convert Hijri date into Unix timestamp

And maybe more...

## Usage

### Importing

```go

go get github.com/01walid/goarabic

```

##### Example Usage

```go

package main

import (

    "fmt"

    "github.com/01walid/goarabic"

)

func main() {

    fmt.Println(goarabic.RemoveTashkeel("نًصٌ عَربيُّ"))

    fmt.Println(goarabic.ToGlyph("تجربة النص العربي"))

}

```
