arabic-reshaper-rs

Reconstruct Arabic sentences to be used in applications that don't support Arabic.

This crate is python-arabic-reshaper ported to rust.

Like python-arabic-reshaper it reshapes the letters, but it doesnt reverse the writing, the user is responsible for that: you can look at Unicode bidirectional algorithm or simply try reversing the characters orders and see if that works for you

Usage:

arabic_reshape:

Reshape letters

use arabic_reshaper::arabic_reshape;
let salam = "سلام";
println!("{}",arabic_reshape(salam));
//  سلام is now correctly reshaped but the letters are not reversed yet
// For simple cases we can  use chars().rev()
// For a more correct approach http://unicode.org/reports/tr9/ should be used (via https://docs.rs/unic_bidi crate for example)
