banglascript-transpiler

1.0.0 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

A toy transpiler that converts BanglaScript (a beginner-friendly programming language using Bangladeshi GEZ-Z slang keywords) into JavaScript. Version 1.0.0 is the initial release. It translates BanglaScript keywords like 'bro' (let), 'funde' (function), 'jodi' (if), 'bolchi' (console.log) into standard JavaScript. Primarily educational or novelty use; not intended for production. No regular release cadence. Differentiator: it makes programming accessible to Bengali speakers by using localized keywords.

Common errors

error Error: Cannot find module 'banglascript-transpiler' ↓

cause Package not installed or wrong import path.

fix

Run 'npm install banglascript-transpiler' and ensure correct import: import transpile from 'banglascript-transpiler'

error bash: banglascript: command not found ↓

cause CLI binary not in PATH; package not installed globally.

fix

Install globally: 'npm install -g banglascript-transpiler'. Or use npx: 'npx banglascript input.bns output.js'

error TypeError: transpile is not a function ↓

cause Default import may not yield a function; module might export differently.

fix

Check the actual export: e.g., import * as transpiler from 'banglascript-transpiler'. Refer to package source.

Warnings

breaking The CLI command is 'banglascript', not 'banglascript-transpiler'. Running 'banglascript-transpiler input.bns' will fail. ↓

fix Use 'npx banglascript' or install globally with 'npm install -g banglascript-transpiler' and run 'banglascript'.

gotcha The programmatic API is not documented; the module may not export a function as expected. Users may have to inspect the package internals. ↓

fix Import the transpiler function: import transpile from 'banglascript-transpiler' or use CLI instead.

gotcha BanglaScript is a toy language; it is not suitable for production. Using it in serious projects may lead to unexpected behavior or lack of support. ↓

fix Use for learning or fun only. Do not rely on it for critical applications.

deprecated The package uses CommonJS require in examples but may be ESM-only. Using require may fail. ↓

fix Check package.json for 'type': 'module'. Use ESM import syntax.

Install

npm install banglascript-transpiler

yarn add banglascript-transpiler

pnpm add banglascript-transpiler

Imports

Default import of the transpiler function
wrong
```
const transpile = require('banglascript-transpiler');
```
correct
```
import transpile from 'banglascript-transpiler';
```
Package might not export CommonJS; check package.json for module type. Prefer ESM import.
CLI usage via npx
wrong
```
banglascript input.bns output.js (if not installed globally)
```
correct
```
npx banglascript input.bns output.js
```
CLI is 'banglascript' but npm package is 'banglascript-transpiler'. Use npx or global install.
Programmatic transpile API
```
import transpile from 'banglascript-transpiler'; const jsCode = transpile(banglaScriptCode);
```
The API function name and parameters are assumed based on typical transpilers. Verify with package docs.

Quickstart

Transpile BanglaScript code to JavaScript using the programmatic API and log the result.

const fs = require('fs');
const transpile = require('banglascript-transpiler');
const inputCode = `
bro taka = 100;
funde discount(taka) {
  jodi (taka > 500) {
    bolchi("Boro taka:", taka - 50);
  } naile {
    bolchi("Chhoto taka:", taka - 10);
  }
  oi mama taka;
}
discount(taka);
`;
const outputCode = transpile(inputCode);
console.log(outputCode);
// Expected JS output includes variable declarations and function with if-else and console.log
