Support Plugin Interface

[tebaly]

For example in other languages your code "1337 characters" is useless. For me, this path of library is useless.

I would like to add the functionality of locally used templates. It would be nice to write a plugin and make it possible to connect it via the library. There are many languages - there can be many plug-ins, their development can go independently.

You can extract this part of your library in a separate plugin to show how it can be done by other developers for other languages (Russian etc.)

    /**
     * A mapping that maps regular characters to 1337 characters.
     *
     * @type {{o: string, g: string, b: Array, t: string, s: string, a: string, e: string, z: string, i: string, l: string}}
     */
    this.map1337 = {
      o: '0',
      g: '9',
      b: ['8', '6'],
      t: '7',
      s: '5',
      a: '4',
      e: '3',
      z: '2',
      i: '1',
      l: '1'
    };
  }

//...
        if (typeof this.map1337[character] === 'undefined') {
          pattern += (character + (!last ? any : ''));

          continue;
        }

        if (typeof this.map1337[character] === 'string') {
          pattern += ('((' + character + '|' + this.map1337[character] + ')' + (!last ? any : '') + ')');

          continue;
        }

        pattern += '((' + character;

        for (var m = 0; m < this.map1337[character].length; m++) {
          pattern += '|' + this.map1337[character][m];
        }

//...

For the Russian language, similar functionality is required (For Example)

'zh' => 'ж',
'ts' => 'ц', 
'ch' => 'ч',
'sh' => 'ш', 
'kh' => 'х',
'je' => 'э',
'ä' => 'э',
'ju' => 'ю',
'yu' => 'ю',
'ü' => 'ю',
'ja' => 'я',
'ya' => 'я',
'q' => 'я',
'jo' => 'е',  
'yo' => 'е', 
'ye' => 'е', 
'ö' => 'е', 
'e' => 'е',
'ji' => 'л', 
'yi' => 'и',
'ї' => 'и', 
'a' => 'а',
'b' => 'б',
'v' => 'в',
'w' => 'в',
'g' => 'г',
'd' => 'д',
'z' => 'з',
'i' => 'и',
'j' => 'и',
'k' => 'к',
'l' => 'л',
'm' => 'м',
'n' => 'н',
'o' => 'о',
'p' => 'п',
'r' => 'р',
's' => 'с',
't' => 'т',
'u' => 'у', 
'y' => 'у',  
'f' => 'ф',
'h' => 'х',
'x' => 'х',
'}{' => 'х', 
')(' => 'х',  
'][' => 'х', 
'шч' => 'щ', 
'сч' => 'щ',  
'й' => 'и',
'ё' => 'е',
'9' => 'д',
'6' => 'ш',
'8' => 'в',
'3' => 'з',
'4' => 'ч',
'0' => 'о',
'()' => 'о',
'/-\\' => 'а',
'/\\' => 'л',
'|<' => 'к', 
'/<' => 'к',  
'\<' => 'к',  
'}/{' => 'ж', 
'}|{' => 'ж', 
']|[' => 'ж',  
'|-|' => 'н',
'тт' =>'п',
'c' => 'ц'

That would be cool, yes! Passing in character sets for your own locale, good idea.

I'd join an array and expand it in the patterns.

5 years later I am once again looking at this lol
