🏴‍☠️ Pirate API ☠️

The Pirate Monkeyness API can generate pirate insults and it can translate from English to Pirate.

This is a Deno wrapper for the API that is available as both a Deno module and a Node.js module on npm.

Usage

The Pirate Monkeyness API makes available two APIs; one that creates a pirate insult and one that takes English text as an argument and returns a pirate translation of that text.

Deno

import { insult, translate } from "https://deno.land/x/pirate_api/mod.ts";

console.log(await insult());
// => "I'll gut ye bow to stern, ye dreadful, cowardly mongrel! ... Blow me down!"

console.log(
  await translate("Let's take to the seas for an adventure captain."),
);
// => "Let's take t' the seas fer an adventure cap'n."

Node.js

To use the module in a Node.js application, first install the module with:

npm install pirate-api

You can then use the module in your application like this:

import { insult, translate } from "pirate-api";

console.log(await insult());
// => "Yer face be good fer stoppin' cannonballs, ye scrappy, salty dullard! ... Blow me down!"

console.log(
  await translate("Let's take to the seas for an adventure captain."),
);
// => "Let's take t' the seas fer an adventure cap'n."

You can also use this module as a Common JS require:

const { insult, translate } = require("pirate-api");

console.log(await insult());
// => "It's the locker for ye, ye pitiful, weak-kneed swab! ... Splice the mainbrace!"

console.log(
  await translate("JavaScript is a very versatile language, don't you think?"),
);
// => "JavaScript be a mighty versatile language, don't ye reckon?"

Thanks very much to Tim Moses the creator of the Pirate Monkeyness API. It is a free service and it makes me very happy that it exists.
