kanji

=====

A Kanji dictionary for the web.

The available grades are from first through sixth.

Note: Only part of the first has been added and will continue to expand along the way.

The benefits of using this:

* modular - easily create a dictionary by grade (follows a similar pattern as moment.js).

* examples with ruby

* easy to use API

	* findByRomaji (available as a static method to narrow down results)

	* findByMeaning (available as a static method to narrow down results)

	* findByOnyomi (note all on-yomi must be Katakana)

	* findByKunYomi (note all kun-yomi must be Hiragana)

* works with node.js

* locale support (search kanji in your locale)

###Usage

In browser

```html

	

	

	

	

		var k = kanji();

		k.findByMeaning('round');

		/* output

		{

			character: "円", 

			example: Array[5], 

			kunyomi: Array[1], 

			meaning: Array[3], 

			onyomi: Array[1], 

			romaji: "en"

		}

		*/

	

```

In node.js

Note: This project is not yet available on npmjs.org.

```js

var kanji = require('kanji.js');//subject to change

console.log(kanji().grades()); //return the entire dictionary

```
