#Quick start
All Gukhanmun implementations export a single async factory function load.
Call it once, then use the returned Gukhanmun instance for all conversions.
#Minimal example
import { function load(options?: GukhanmunOptions): Promise<Gukhanmun>Creates a Gukhanmun converter with the given options.
Initialises the WASM module on the first call (subsequent calls reuse the
cached module). Dictionaries supplied via
GukhanmunOptions.dictionaries
are fetched and passed to the Rust
engine as FileDictionarySource values.
Note: unlike the Rust ko-kr preset, the JavaScript preset never includes a
bundled dictionary. Pass dictionaries: [await stdictFst()] to include the
Standard Korean Language Dictionary.

var console: ConsoleThe console module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the
JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.
The module exports two specific components:
- A
Console class with methods such as console.log(), console.error() and console.warn() that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
- A global
console instance configured to write to process.stdout and
process.stderr. The global console can be used without importing the node:console module.
Warning: The global console object's methods are neither consistently
synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently
asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the note on process I/O for
more information.
Example using the global console:
console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
// Error: Whoops, something bad happened
// at [eval]:5:15
// at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)
// at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)
// at node:internal/process/execution:77:19
// at [eval]-wrapper:6:22
// at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
// at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3
const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
Example using the Console class:
const out = getStreamSomehow();
const err = getStreamSomehow();
const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err);
myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err
const name = 'Will Robinson';
myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err
@seesource console .Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void (+1 overload)Prints to stdout with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the
first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution
values similar to printf(3)
(the arguments are all passed to util.format()).
const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
console.log('count:', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
See util.format() for more information.
