Example ​

Pinyin ​

The options.type parameter controls the format of the returned value, and the options.toneType parameter controls the display format of tones in Pinyin.

pinyin('汉语拼音'); // 'hàn yǔ pīn yīn'
// Get Pinyin without Tones
pinyin('汉语拼音', { toneType: 'none' }); // 'han yu pin yin'
// Get Pinyin where the tone is converted to a numerical suffix
pinyin('汉语拼音', { toneType: 'num' }); // 'han4 yu3 pin1 yin1'
// Get Pinyin with Tones in array form
pinyin('汉语拼音', { type: 'array' }); // ["hàn", "yǔ", "pīn", "yīn"]
// Get Pinyin without Tones in array form

Multiple ​

When options.multiple is true, the returned value is all Pinyins of the polyphonic character.

This only takes effect when the length of the text parameter equals 1.

javascript
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// Get all pinyins
pinyin('好', { multiple: true }); // 'hǎo hào'
// Get all pinyins in array
pinyin('好', { multiple: true, type: 'array' }); // ["hǎo", "hào"]
// It doesn't take effect when the length of `text` is not 1
pinyin('好学', { multiple: true }); // hào xué
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// Get all pinyins
pinyin('好', { multiple: true }); // 'hǎo hào'
// Get all pinyins in array
pinyin('好', { multiple: true, type: 'array' }); // ["hǎo", "hào"]
// It doesn't take effect when the length of `text` is not 1
pinyin('好学', { multiple: true }); // hào xué

Surname Mode v3.21.0+ ​

Set options.surname to head (to recognize surname characters only at the beginning of the string) or all (to recognize all surname characters in the string) to enable surname mode. When enabled, characters that match surnames from the "Hundred Family Surnames" will prioritize outputting the surname pinyin.

javascript
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// Surname mode not enabled
pinyin('我叫曾乐乐'); // 'wǒ jiào céng lè lè'

// Enable head surname mode
pinyin('我叫曾乐乐', { surname: 'head' }); // 'wǒ jiào zēng lè lè'

// Enable all surname mode (will recognize “乐” as the surname yuè of 乐毅)
pinyin('我叫曾乐乐', { surname: 'all' }); // 'wǒ jiào zēng yuè yuè'
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// Surname mode not enabled
pinyin('我叫曾乐乐'); // 'wǒ jiào céng lè lè'

// Enable head surname mode
pinyin('我叫曾乐乐', { surname: 'head' }); // 'wǒ jiào zēng lè lè'

// Enable all surname mode (will recognize “乐” as the surname yuè of 乐毅)
pinyin('我叫曾乐乐', { surname: 'all' }); // 'wǒ jiào zēng yuè yuè'

Customize Separator v3.16.0+ ​

Use options.separator to customize separator between pinyins, only effective when type: 'string'：

javascript
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

pinyin('汉语拼音', { separator: '-' }); // 'hàn-yǔ-pīn-yīn'
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

pinyin('汉语拼音', { separator: '-' }); // 'hàn-yǔ-pīn-yīn'

NonZh Character v3.8.0+ ​

options.nonZh can configure the returned value's format of non Chinese characters.

javascript
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// Default non Chinese characters will be output with space intervals
pinyin('我very喜欢你'); // 'wǒ v e r y xǐ huān nǐ'

// When options.nonZh is removed, non Chinese characters in the output will be removed.
pinyin('我very喜欢你', { nonZh: 'removed' }); // 'wǒ xǐ huān nǐ'

// When options.nonZh is consecutive, non Chinese characters will be output compactly.
pinyin('我very喜欢你', { nonZh: 'consecutive' }); // 'wǒ very xǐ huān nǐ'
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// Default non Chinese characters will be output with space intervals
pinyin('我very喜欢你'); // 'wǒ v e r y xǐ huān nǐ'

// When options.nonZh is removed, non Chinese characters in the output will be removed.
pinyin('我very喜欢你', { nonZh: 'removed' }); // 'wǒ xǐ huān nǐ'

// When options.nonZh is consecutive, non Chinese characters will be output compactly.
pinyin('我very喜欢你', { nonZh: 'consecutive' }); // 'wǒ very xǐ huān nǐ'

Replace ü by v v3.9.0+ ​

When options.v is true, the ü in returned value will be replaced by v. (ǖ,ǘ,ǚ,ǜ with tone won't be replaced)：

javascript
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// ü
pinyin('吕布', { toneType: 'none' }); // lü bu
// v
pinyin('吕布', { toneType: 'none', v: true }); // lv bu
// ǖ,ǘ,ǚ,ǜ
pinyin('吕布', { v: true }); // lǚ bù
// v with tone
pinyin('吕布', { type: 'num', v: true }); // lv3 bu4
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// ü
pinyin('吕布', { toneType: 'none' }); // lü bu
// v
pinyin('吕布', { toneType: 'none', v: true }); // lv bu
// ǖ,ǘ,ǚ,ǜ
pinyin('吕布', { v: true }); // lǚ bù
// v with tone
pinyin('吕布', { type: 'num', v: true }); // lv3 bu4

Segmentation Algorithms v3.20.0+ ​

Set options.segmentit to choose different segmentation algorithms. The default is the maximum probability algorithm:

javascript
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// Reverse Maximum Matching Algorithm: Fastest Speed
pinyin('小明硕士毕业于中国科学院计算所，后在日本京都大学深造', {
  segmentit: 1,
});

// Maximum Probability Algorithm: Most Accurate Recognition
pinyin('小明硕士毕业于中国科学院计算所，后在日本京都大学深造', {
  segmentit: 2,
});

// Minimum Segmentation Algorithm
pinyin('小明硕士毕业于中国科学院计算所，后在日本京都大学深造', {
  segmentit: 3,
});
import { pinyin } from 'pinyin-pro';

// Reverse Maximum Matching Algorithm: Fastest Speed
pinyin('小明硕士毕业于中国科学院计算所，后在日本京都大学深造', {
  segmentit: 1,
});

// Maximum Probability Algorithm: Most Accurate Recognition
pinyin('小明硕士毕业于中国科学院计算所，后在日本京都大学深造', {
  segmentit: 2,
});

// Minimum Segmentation Algorithm
pinyin('小明硕士毕业于中国科学院计算所，后在日本京都大学深造', {
  segmentit: 3,
});
