PASS_THROUGH?

optional PASS_THROUGH: boolean

If true passes the characters of the result of the TRANSLITERATION callback to the be mapped to the schema. If TRANSLITERATION is a string, this does nothing.

Default

true

Examples

// with PASS_THROUGH true or undefined; the rest of the characters are passed through
// to regular mapping on the schema
heb.transliterate("בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית", {
  ADDITIONAL_FEATURES: [{
    HEBREW: "(?<![\u{05B1}-\u{05BB}\u{05C7}].*)\u{05B0}",
    FEATURE: "syllable",
    PASS_THROUGH: true,
    TRANSLITERATION: function (syllable, _hebrew, schema) {
      const next = syllable.next;
      const nextVowel = next.vowelName === "SHEVA" ? "VOCAL_SHEVA" : next.vowelName

      if (next && nextVowel) {
        const vowel = schema[nextVowel] || "";
        return syllable.text.replacenew RegExp("\u{05B0}", "u"; vowel);
      }

      return syllable.text;
    }
  }]
});

// with PASS_THROUGH false, a custom mapping needs to be implemented,
// or Hebrew characters are returned for the rest of the `FEATURE`
heb.transliterate("בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית", {
  ADDITIONAL_FEATURES: [{
    HEBREW: "(?<![\u{05B1}-\u{05BB}\u{05C7}].*)\u{05B0}",
    FEATURE: "syllable",
    PASS_THROUGH: false,
    TRANSLITERATION: function (syllable, _hebrew, schema) {
      const next = syllable.next;
      const nextVowel = next.vowelName === "SHEVA" ? "VOCAL_SHEVA" : next.vowelName

      if (next && nextVowel) {
        const vowel = schema[nextVowel] || "";
        return syllable.text.replacenew RegExp("\u{05B0}", "u"; vowel);
      }

      return syllable.text;
    }
  }]
});
// בּērēʾšît

Remarks

This is generally most useful when the callback does not transliterate the entire FEATURE
