bhauji-js: Bhojpuri Programming Language Transpiler

1.5.0 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

A novelty transpiler and CLI tool that converts Bhojpuri-language syntax into JavaScript. Version 1.5.0 provides a CLI runner for .bj files, translating desi keywords like 'kaha_bhauji' and 'batayi' into console.log and let respectively. It supports conditionals, loops, arrays, functions, and more. Differentiated by its humorous, cultural approach; not intended for serious production use. Release cadence is irregular, with occasional updates.

Common errors

error Error: Cannot find module 'bhauji-js' ↓

cause Package not installed or global installation missing.

fix

Run 'npm install -g bhauji-js' or 'npm install bhauji-js'.

error SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'naam' ↓

cause Bhojpuri syntax not recognized; likely a .js file used instead of .bj.

fix

Ensure file extension is .bj and run via 'bhauji <file>.bj'.

error Error: run is not a function ↓

cause Incorrect import; default import used but run is named export.

fix

Use 'import { run } from 'bhauji-js''.

Warnings

gotcha Bhojpuri syntax does not map 1:1 to JavaScript; some edge cases may behave unexpectedly. ↓

fix Test thoroughly and refer to the command table in the README.

gotcha The package is a novelty tool; not designed for production use. ↓

fix Use standard JavaScript for serious projects.

breaking In version 1.5.0, the default export 'bhauji' was removed in favor of named exports only. ↓

fix Change 'import bhauji from...' to 'import { bhauji } from...'.

Quickstart

Demonstrates transpiling a Bhojpuri snippet with variable declaration and console output.

import { run } from 'bhauji-js';

const input = `
kaisan bhauji;
batayi naam = "Duniya";
kaha_bhauji("Namaste " + naam);
`;

const result = run(input);
console.log(result);
// Expected output: Namaste Duniya
