Members

NameTypeDescription
mode (optional)WordsMode | undefined

"safe" unless you say "unfiltered". Safe fetches only files that hold none of what it leaves out, and so fetches less; unfiltered fetches one file more for each piece, and gives everything.

block (optional)readonly string[] | undefined

Readings and written forms to leave out, on top of the mode. A reading that several words share names all of them. Applied only when given.

allow (optional)readonly string[] | undefined

Readings and written forms to keep and nothing else, on top of the mode and the block list. Applied only when given; an empty list keeps none.

previous (optional)Words | undefined

Words loaded before, in the same mode: what they hold is kept, and pieces they came from are not fetched again.

romaji (optional)boolean | undefined

Read a text of Latin letters as romaji and load the kana it could be (kami is かみ). Ask wordsOf the same way. Off unless given: AI and CD are written forms too.

inflected (optional)boolean | undefined

Also load the dictionary forms a text could be conjugated from (食べなかった loads 食べる), for inflectedOf. Off unless given: it fetches a few pieces more.

Examples

import type { LoadWordsOptions } from "@johnmorrisdotca/jisho/words";
