Function: sectorGridPositionFromName()

sectorGridPositionFromName(name): SectorGridPosition | null

Defined in: src/astro/sector-name.ts:900

The grid position a procedural sector name maps to, or null if the name is not a valid procedural sector name.

Every assigned name produced by sectorNameFromGridPosition round-trips through this function. A valid fragment sequence that is not the canonical name emitted for its coordinates is rejected.

Parameters

name

string

A procedural sector name in any casing (e.g. blae eock).

Returns

SectorGridPosition | null

The sector grid position, or null when the name is not procedural — including a nullish name, which the name parsers tolerate on this path too.

Throws

If name is present and not a string.
