How to Use

Type a word in the input box and you should see the definition(s) appear below.

Iota after a long vowel can be written either as subscript or not: ᾗπερ and ἧιπερ are both valid.

If you include accents, breathing, and the iota subscript, then they will be included in the search. If you leave them out, it will try to find all potential matches.

You can also use Latin characters. The romanization is pretty flexible. For example, heiper, heper, eiper, and eper all work for ᾗπερ.

Installation

yarn install

Updating the dictionary

Update the file vendor/lsj.json with any changes then run yarn run build-dictionary.

Running the development server

yarn start

Building for deployment

Before creating a production build you need to know the path where it will be accessed. Then run the command PUBLIC_URL='./path/of/app' yarn build. This will generate a set of static files in the build/ directory that you can serve.

For example, if you want to deploy it at www.example.com/ then run PUBLIC_URL='./' yarn build. If you want to deploy it at www.example.com/lexica/lsj then run PUBLIC_URL='./lexica/lsj' yarn build.

Running tests

yarn test

Linting the code

yarn lint
