Usage

Install

First and foremost, install direnv.

# macOS
$ brew install direnv

# Debian-like
$ apt install direnv

Then :

$ direnv allow

Install npm modules :

$ npm i

Configuration

You should set in your .envrc the language configuration you're looking for.

This consists of three variables LANG, CONJUGATION, LANGUAGE which will be used to build the URL used for the scrapping.

A few examples :

# French to Italian

export LANG=fr
export CONJUGATION=conjugaison
export LANGUAGE=italien

# English to French

export LANG=en
export CONJUGATION=conjugation
export LANGUAGE=french

The next step is set the verbs you want to scrap, this is done in verbs.json at the root.

Simply put them as an array of strings in the language you're trying to learn (should be the same as LANGUAGE),

["stare", "mangiare", "bere", "essere"]

Scrapping the data

Once everything is set up, you can start the scrapping using npm start.

This will create a json file scrapped-verbs.json.

Changing the format of data

If the format of the verbs is not to your liking, you can set the fields and the way you scrap them in constants.js.
