## Getting Started

**Note:** This package is [ESM-only].

### Installation

#### Node.js (v16+)

```sh

pnpm add @nvl/tag-to-code-lang # If using PNPM

bun  add @nvl/tag-to-code-lang # If using Bun

npm  add @nvl/tag-to-code-lang # If using NPM

yarn add @nvl/tag-to-code-lang # If using Yarn

```

#### Deno

```ts

import { tagToCodeLang } from 'https://esm.sh/@nvl/tag-to-code-lang@1';

```

### Usage

```ts

import { tagToCodeLang } from '@nvl/tag-to-code-lang';

console.log(tagToCodeLang('js')); // JavaScript

console.log(tagToCodeLang('ts')); // TypeScript

console.log(tagToCodeLang('rb')); // Ruby

console.log(tagToCodeLang('hs')); // Haskell

```

Note that file extensions are not recognized, as there would be many collisions:

```ts

import { tagToCodeLang } from '@nvl/tag-to-code-lang';

console.log(tagToCodeLang('.h')); // undefined

console.log(tagToCodeLang('h')); // undefined

console.log(tagToCodeLang('cpp')); // C++

console.log(tagToCodeLang('c')); // C

```

If you believe a tag which is not currently recognized _should_ be recognized,

you can open an issue in the

[`github-linguist/linguist`](https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist)

repository asking for the tag to be added to the `aliases` property of the

language inside the

[`languages.yml`](https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/languages.yml)

file.

## Similar work

-   `linguist-languages`

    ([NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/linguist-languages) /

    [GitHub](https://github.com/ikatyang/linguist-languages)): The

    `languages.yml` file from the GitHub Linguist project, as a JSON object. I

    would've used this project instead of creating a separate one with a similar

    purpose (though for a more specific use case), but I couldn't get it to work

    due to

    [URL encoded characters in import paths](https://github.com/ikatyang/linguist-languages/issues/278).
