[![dependencies][dependencies-image]][dependencies-url]

Install using node or bower

    npm install quote --save
    bower install quote --save

Use

    // node
    var quote = require('quote');
    quote('foo'); // "foo"
    quote('"foo"'); // "foo"
    quote(quote('foo')); // "foo"

In the browser just use global function `quote`

## Changing quote character

Only single quote character is supported, default is double quotes `"`.
To change:

    var quote = require('quote')({ quotes: '*' });
    quote('foo'); // *foo*
    quote('bar'); // *bar*

## To build and test

Because this is both Node and browser package, you need to build it using 
[universal module definition CLI tool](https://github.com/ForbesLindesay/umd).

    npm run build
    npm test
