## πŸ•΅πŸΌ Usage

Install it by executing:

```shell
npm i "@igor.dvlpr/comment-it"
```


## 🀹🏼 API

#### getLanguageIds()

```ts
getLanguageIds(): string[]
```

Gets IDs of all available language formatters. Language formatters are callable as `comment.`. See more below at [`comment`](#comment).


#### language()

```ts
language(id: string): CommentFormatter | null
```

Performs a case-insensitive search for a language formatter with the provided `id` and returns it - if one is found - else returns null.


#### supportsLanguage()

```ts
supportsLanguage(id: string): boolean
```

Returns whether the given language formatter is supported, **case-insensitive**.

See the [comment](#comment) object below for available valid identifiers.


#### alias()

```ts
alias(id: CommentLanguage, alias: string): boolean
```

Adds an alias for an existing comment formatter. Returns true upon success, false otherwise.


#### comment

An `object` where all formatters are stored.

Each formatter exposes two functions, `single()` for single-line comments and `multi()` for multi-line comments.




##### single()

```ts
single(value: string): string
```

Returns a single-line comment formatted for the selected language.


##### multi()

```ts
multi(value: string): string
```

Returns a multi-line comment formatted for the selected language.


### Examples

```ts
import { comment, supportsLanguage } from '@igor.dvlpr/comment-it'

const singleLine: string = 'hello world'
const multiLine: string = `hello

world

this is a test`

console.log(comment.javaScript.single(singleLine)) // prints '// hello world'

console.log(comment.jsx.single(singleLine)) // prints '{/* hello world */}'

console.log(comment.coffeeScript.multi(multiLine)) // prints '###\nhello\n\n\nworld\n\nthis is a test\n###'

// note: new lines in the example results are written as-is for brevity

console.log(supportsLanguage('lua')) // prints true
console.log(supportsLanguage('TYPEscript')) // prints true
console.log(supportsLanguage('foo')) // prints false
```
