TypeScript partial port of the C# library libpalaso/SIL.Scripture. These libraries are used by Paratext and provides classes for working with Scripture data such as references and versifications.

v1 is a minimal partial port in TypeScript that supports use on the frontend while still using the full C# version on the backend.

Features

  • {object} Canon - Canon information. Also, contains static information on complete list of books.
  • {class} VerseRef - Stores a reference to a specific verse in Scripture.
    • Represents a single reference, e.g. 'GEN 2:3'.
    • Represents a reference range, e.g. 'LUK 3:4-5'.
    • Represents a reference sequence, e.g. 'GEN 1:1-3,5'.
    • Represents a reference with a segment, e.g. 'LUK 3:4b'.
    • Validate references.
    • Supports versification types: Unknown, Original, Septuagint, Vulgate, English, RussianProtestant, RussianOrthodox.

Installation

npm install @sillsdev/scripture

Usage

VerseRef

There are lots of options to construct a VerseRef. If an appropriate versification is not supplied, a default one will be used (defaults to English):

import { ScrVers, VerseRef } from '@sillsdev/scripture';

// construct from book, chapter and verse numbers (with specific versification)
let verseRef = new VerseRef(1, 2, 3, ScrVers.Septuagint);
console.log(verseRef.valid); // true

// construct from book, chapter and verse strings (default versification)
verseRef = new VerseRef('LUK', '3', '4b-5a');
console.log(verseRef.versification); // VerseRef.defaultVersification (ScrVers.English)

// construct from a single verse string (with range and segments)
verseRef = new VerseRef('LUK 3:4b-5a');
console.log(verseRef.chapterNum); // 3
console.log(verseRef.verse); // '4b-5a'
console.log(verseRef.verseNum); // 4

// construct from a bbbcccvvv number
verseRef = new VerseRef(42003004);
console.log(verseRef.bookNum); // 42
console.log(verseRef.chapterNum); // 3
console.log(verseRef.verseNum); // 4

// construct from an existing VerseRef
verseRef = new VerseRef(verseRef);
console.log(verseRef.book); // 'LUK'
console.log(verseRef.bookNum); // 42
console.log(verseRef.chapter); // '3'

// construct an empty VerseRef
verseRef = new VerseRef();

VerseRef can be used to validate a reference, such as with user form validation:

function isVerseReferenceValid(verseStr: string): boolean {
  const { verseRef } = VerseRef.tryParse(verseStr);
  return verseRef.valid;
}

console.log(isVerseReferenceValid('NOOB 200:300')); // false
console.log(isVerseReferenceValid('GEN 2:3')); // true
console.log(isVerseReferenceValid('LUK 3:4b-5a')); // true

VerseRef can be JSON stringified and deserialized:

let verseRef = new VerseRef('LUK', '3', '4b-5a');
console.log(JSON.stringify(verseRef)); // '{"book":"LUK","chapterNum":3,"verseNum":4,"verse":"4b-5a","versificationStr":"English"}'

verseRef = new VerseRef(1, 2, 3, ScrVers.Septuagint);
console.log(JSON.stringify(verseRef)); // '{"book":"GEN","chapterNum":2,"verseNum":3,"versificationStr":"Septuagint"}'

verseRef = VerseRef.fromJSON({
  book: 'LUK',
  chapterNum: 3,
  verseNum: 4,
  verse: '4b-5a',
  versificationStr: 'English',
});
console.log(verseRef.book); // 'LUK'
console.log(verseRef.chapterNum); // 3
console.log(verseRef.verse); // '4b-5a'

Useful properties:

  • book: string - 3-letter book ID (abbreviation in capital letters), e.g. 'LUK'
  • chapter: string - chapter of the reference, e.g. '3'
  • verse: string - verse of the reference, including range, segments, and sequences, e.g. '4', or '4b-5a, 7'
  • bookNum: number - book number, e.g. 42
  • chapterNum: number - chapter number e.g. 3
  • verseNum: number - verse start number, e.g. 4
  • versification: ScrVers - versification of the reference, e.g. ScrVers.English
  • valid: boolean - Determines if the reference is valid.
  • validStatus: ValidStatusType - The valid status for this reference.
  • BBBCCC: number - The reference as a comparable integer where the book, chapter, and verse each occupy three digits and the verse is 0, e.g. 42003000.
  • BBBCCCVVV: number - The reference as a comparable integer where the book, chapter, and verse each occupy three digits, e.g. 42003004.

Useful methods and functions:

  • parse(verseStr: string): void - Parses the reference in the specified string.
  • simplify(): void - Simplifies this verse ref so that it has no bridging of verses or verse segments like '1a'.
  • clone(): VerseRef - Makes a clone of the reference.
  • equals(verseRef: VerseRef): boolean - Compares this VerseRef with supplied one.
  • allVerses(specifiedVersesOnly = false, verseRangeSeparators: string[] = VerseRef.verseRangeSeparators, verseSequenceSeparators: string[] = VerseRef.verseSequenceIndicators): VerseRef[] - Enumerate all individual verses contained in a VerseRef. Verse ranges are indicated by "-" and consecutive verses by ","s.
  • validateVerse(verseRangeSeparators: string[], verseSequenceSeparators: string[]): ValidStatusType - Validates a verse number using the supplied separators rather than the defaults.

Useful static functions:

  • static isVerseParseable(verse: string): boolean - Determines if the verse string is in a valid format (does not consider versification).
  • static tryParse(str: string): { success: boolean; verseRef: VerseRef } - Tries to parse the specified string into a verse reference.
  • static getBBBCCCVVV(bookNum: number, chapterNum: number, verseNum: number): number - Gets the reference as a comparable integer where the book, chapter, and verse each occupy 3 digits.

Canon

Canon contains various useful tools:

import { Canon } from '@sillsdev/scripture';

console.log(Canon.bookIdToNumber('MAT')); // 40

console.log(Canon.bookNumberToId(1)); // 'GEN'
console.log(Canon.bookNumberToId(40)); // 'MAT'

console.log(Canon.bookNumberToEnglishName(1)); // 'Genesis'

console.log(Canon.bookIdToEnglishName('GEN')); // 'Genesis'

console.log(Canon.isBookIdValid('MAT')); // true

console.log(Canon.isBookNT('MAT')); // true
console.log(Canon.isBookNT(1)); // false

console.log(Canon.isBookOT('MAT')); // false
console.log(Canon.isBookOT(1)); // true

console.log(Canon.isBookOTNT('MAT')); // true
console.log(Canon.isBookOTNT(1)); // true

console.log(Canon.isBookDC('TOB')); // true
console.log(Canon.isBookDC(1)); // false

console.log(Canon.isCanonical('XXA')); // false
console.log(Canon.isCanonical(1)); // true

console.log(Canon.isExtraMaterial('XXA')); // true
console.log(Canon.isExtraMaterial(1)); // false

console.log(Canon.isObsolete(87)); // true

Future

v3 might include a more complete port of the C# such that it can be used in a node-based backend.
