> ### _File extensions for prose languages._

It's just a [JSON file](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/adamlui/python-utils@prose-languages-1.0.3/prose-languages/src/prose_languages/prose-languages.json), so you can use it in any environment. Sourced from GitHub's [Linguist](https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist) project (defines all 18 prose languages known to GitHub). Data is updated via script and released via new package version.

## Installation

```bash
pip install prose-languages
```

## Usage

```py
import prose_languages

md_lang_data = prose_languages['Markdown']

print(md_lang_data['extensions']) # => ['.livemd', '.markdown', '.md', ...]
```

_Note: Most type checkers will falsely warn_ `prose_languages` _is not subscriptable because they are incapable of analyzing runtime behavior (where the module is replaced w/ a dictionary for cleaner, direct access). You can safely suppress such warnings using_ `# type: ignore`.

## Examples

Get language from an extension:

```py
def get_lang(file_ext):
    for lang, data in prose_languages.items():
        if file_ext in data['extensions']:
            return lang

print(get_lang('.gmi')) # => Gemini
```

Get language from a file path:

```py
def get_lang_from_path(filepath):
    from pathlib import Path
    file_ext = Path(filepath).suffix
    for lang, data in prose_languages.items():
        if file_ext in data['extensions']:
            return lang

print(get_lang_from_path('document.adoc')) # => AsciiDoc
print(get_lang_from_path('README.md')) # => Markdown
print(get_lang_from_path('index.mdx')) # => None (use markup-languages pkg)
```
