## installation
`npm install minna-no-nihongo-adjectives`
## Usage
```javascript
import adjectives from 'minna-no-nihongo-adjectives'
const chapterTwelveAdjectives = adjectives.filter(a => a.chapter === 12)
/**
*
[
{
"id": "wFzvtufLk",
"adjective_type": 0,
"hiragana": "かんたん",
"english": "easy; simple",
"kanji": "簡単",
"chapter": 12,
"past": "かんたかった",
"negative": "かんたくない",
"past_negative": "かんたくなかった"
},
...
]
*/
```
Each adjective item is provided in following format:
```typescript
const enum AdjectiveType {
I, // 0
NA // 1
}
export interface Adjective {
id: string
adjective_type: AdjectiveType // See above, either 0 (い) or 1 (な)
hiragana: string
english: string
kanji: string
chapter: number,
past: string,
negative: string
past_negative: string
}
```
Id's are generated using [shortId](https://github.com/dylang/shortid). In cases where kanji does not exist or could not be determined (eg. いい) the hirigana is substituted.
The past tense for な adjectives is the plain hiragana value.
