Old Norse dictionary for Node.js. SQL implementation with Knex.js.
Uses Orðbók for dictionary data.
yarn add ordbok-knex
You also need to install the database driver you're going to use with Knex.
npm install pg
npm install sqlite3
npm install mysql
npm install mysql2
Orðbók-knex offers two methods: one for setting up new database, and one for getting Knex instance tied to them. Under the hood Orðbók is used to scrape the dictionary with Puppeteer.
const { createDB } = require('ordbok-knex')
// Your Knew config. DO NOT define migrations folder.
const knexConf = {
client: 'sqlite3',
useNullAsDefault: true,
connection: {
filename: './local.db',
},
pool: {
afterCreate: (conn, cb) => {
conn.run('PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON', cb);
},
},
}
// Run only once to create & populate the database.
try {
const res = await createDB(knexConf)
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
}
const { getKnex } = require('ordbok-knex')
/**
* Setup Knex.
* You can also do this step withour Orðbók.
*/
const knexConf = { // Your config }
const knex = await getKnex(knexConf)
// Any valid Knex query.
const result = await knex('norse')
.where({ startsWith: 'ó' })
const result2 = await knex('english')
.where({ startsWith: 's' })
console.log(result)
console.log(result2)
knex.destroy()
