# js-codepage
[Codepages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codepage) are character encodings. In
many contexts, single- or double-byte character sets are used in lieu of Unicode
encodings. The codepages map between characters and numbers.
## Setup
In node:
```js
var cptable = require('codepage');
```
In the browser:
```html
<script src="cptable.js"></script>
<script src="cputils.js"></script>
```
Alternatively, use the full version in the dist folder:
```html
<script src="cptable.full.js"></script>
```
The complete set of codepages is large due to some Double Byte Character Set
encodings. A much smaller file that just includes SBCS codepages is provided in
this repo (`sbcs.js`), as well as a file for other projects (`cpexcel.js`)
If you know which codepages you need, you can include individual scripts for
each codepage. The individual files are provided in the `bits/` directory.
For example, to include only the Mac codepages:
```html
<script src="bits/10000.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10006.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10007.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10029.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10079.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10081.js"></script>
```
All of the browser scripts define and append to the `cptable` object. To rename
the object, edit the `JSVAR` shell variable in `make.sh` and run the script.
The utilities functions are contained in `cputils.js`, which assumes that the
appropriate codepage scripts were loaded.
## Usage
Most codepages are indexed by number. To get the unicode character for a given
codepoint, use the `dec` property:
```js
var unicode_cp10000_255 = cptable[10000].dec[255]; // ˇ
```
To get the codepoint for a given character, use the `enc` property:
```js
var cp10000_711 = cptable[10000].enc[String.fromCharCode(711)]; // 255
```
There are a few utilities that deal with strings and buffers:
```js
var 汇总 = cptable.utils.decode(936, [0xbb,0xe3,0xd7,0xdc]);
var buf = cptable.utils.encode(936, 汇总);
var sushi= cptable.utils.decode(65001, [0xf0,0x9f,0x8d,0xa3]); // 🍣
var sbuf = cptable.utils.encode(65001, sushi);
```
`cptable.utils.encode(CP, data, ofmt)` accepts a String or Array of characters
and returns a representation controlled by `ofmt`:
- Default output is a Buffer (or Array) of bytes (integers between 0 and 255).
- If `ofmt == 'str'`, return a String where `o.charCodeAt(i)` is the `i`-th byte
- If `ofmt == 'arr'`, return an Array of bytes
`cptable.utils.decode(CP, data)` accepts a byte String or Array of numbers or
Buffer and returns a JS string.
## Known Excel Codepages
A much smaller script, including only the codepages known to be used in Excel,
is available under the name `cpexcel`. It exposes the same variable `cptable`
and is suitable as a drop-in replacement when the full codepage tables are not
needed.
In node:
```js
var cptable = require('codepage/dist/cpexcel.full');
```
## Rolling your own script
The `make.sh` script in the repo can take a manifest and generate JS source.
Usage:
```bash
$ bash make.sh path_to_manifest output_file_name JSVAR
```
where
- `JSVAR` is the name of the exported variable (generally `cptable`)
- `output_file_name` is the output file (e.g. `cpexcel.js`, `cptable.js`)
- `path_to_manifest` is the path to the manifest file.
The manifest file is expected to be a CSV with 3 columns:
```
<codepage number>,<source>,<size>
```
If a source is specified, it will try to download the specified file and parse.
The file format is expected to follow the format from the unicode.org site.
The size should be `1` for a single-byte codepage and `2` for a double-byte
codepage. For mixed codepages (which use some single- and some double-byte
codes), the script assumes the mapping is a prefix code and generates efficient
JS code.
Generated scripts only include the mapping. `cat` a mapping with `cputils.js`
to produce a complete script like `cpexcel.full.js`.
## Building the complete script
This script uses [voc](npm.im/voc). The script to build the codepage tables and
the JS source is `codepage.md`, so building is as simple as `voc codepage.md`.
## Generated Codepages
The complete list of hardcoded codepages can be found in the file `pages.csv`.
Some codepages are easier to implement algorithmically. Since these are
hardcoded in `utils`, there is no corresponding entry (they are "magic").

`unicode.org` refers to the Unicode Consortium Public Mappings, a database of
various mappings between unicode characters and respective character sets. The
tables are processed by a few scripts in the build process.
`IBM` refers to the IBM coded character set database. Even though IBM uses a
different numbering scheme from Windows, the IBM numbers are used when there is
no conflict. The tables are manually generated from the symbol PDFs.
`Windows 7` refers to direct inspection of Windows 7 machines using .NET class
`System.Text.Encoding`. The enclosed `MakeEncoding.cs` C# program brute-forces
code pages. MakeEncoding.cs deviates from unicode.org in some cases. When they
map a given code to different characters, unicode.org value is used. When
unicode.org does not prescribe a value, MakeEncoding.cs value is used.
`NLS` refers to the National Language Support files supplied in various versions
of Windows. In older versions of Windows (e.g. Windows 98) these files followed
the name pattern `CP_#.NLS`, but newer versions use the name pattern `C_#.NLS`.
## Testing
`make test` will run the nodejs-based test.
To run the in-browser tests, run a local server and go to the `ctest` directory.
`make ctestserv` will start a python `SimpleHTTPServer` server on port 8000.
To update the browser artifacts, run `make ctest`.
