For my first use of javascript I've made an app that takes an input verb from html in Japanese and outputs it in to many conjugated (manipulated) forms.
Essentially, it defines an alphabet, some initial arrays and functions for use, a function to initially check for values and interact with the html page, an object to pass different verb values to, and then a whole slew of "self invoking functions" that essentially take the verb and pass it to the object, and then another function to interact with the page.
Right now I'm at a loss on how to rewrite it in modular JS. I have a couple libraries defined in the HTML (bootstrap, jQuery, and a Japanese IME). Although I'm using self-invoking functions and have a general idea of what modules are, I have no idea what a practical way of splitting up the code in to modules would be.
