Tech Stack

TypeScript — fully typed
Vite — build tool
Tailwind CSS v4 — utility-first CSS
fast-xml-parser — legacy XML conversion (manual only)

Getting Started

npm install
npm run dev

Data files in static/data/ are tracked in git. The only gitignored output is scripts/output/minei.json (33MB Chetyi-Minei source).

npm run convert           # re-convert all data from XML
npm run migrate           # normalize to current format

Set PONOMAR_JAVA_HOME to point at a local clone of the Java Ponomar repository (defaults to ../ponomar).

npm run build    # production build
npm run preview  # preview production build
