A Go Lang package for dealing with Farsi text.
This is an initial work on a set of Go functions developed to enhance Farsi web applications. It all started when I wanted to develop a self-hosted no-dependency and standalone Farsi Captcha in Go (for fun, as I'm discovering Go), and as expected, the Farsi text wasn't rendered as it should:
So I started playing with Glyphs, unicode, and the special Farsi rules for joining letters. After a bit of work, I got this:
shouldn't this be a separated package, along with other functionalities? I guess it should!
- Glyph representation of the given Farsi texts for images/pdf & etc generation.
- Strip Tashkeel (Arabic Vowels).
- SmartLengh: return the length of the given Farsi String without considering Tashkeel (Arabic Vowels).
- Strip Tatweel
- rune-wise (UTF-8) reverse of the Farsi text, leaving out the Latin one.
go get github.com/faridgh1991/gofarsi
package main
import (

)
func main() {
fmt.Println(gofarsi.RemoveTashkeel("نًصٌ عَربيُّ"))
fmt.Println(gofarsi.ToGlyph("تجربة النص العربي"))
}
