bahai-reflib-data

This project aims to host information on the official Bahá'í Reference Library website, in particular its unique identifiers, and host scripts for obtaining and processing those IDs, such as to map them to paragraph number.

Per https://bahai-library.com/uhj_additional_tablets_urls, it seems that the URLS hosted on https://bahai.org/library may now be permanent, and it is hoped that since the paragraphs are not transparent, that the IDs might be permanent as well.

One bit of info: typing https://bahai.org/r/[ID] and replacing [ID] with the unique ID will redirect to the URL and potentially anchor that it targets.

Development

1. npm i -g pnpm (If you don't have it installed already)
2. pnpm i (Install dependencies)
3. pnpm build-data followed by any of these optional arguments (though choosing at least one): mainCollections, collections, works, sections, paragraphIdInfo to run the (throttled) downloading and saving of the information

To-dos

1. Put online as a JSON service (using, e.g., for Bahaipedia and Bahai9 links)
2. Put online as a web app, allowing a series of pull-downs for work, section, and paragraph number to get the ID and link.
3. Utilize in restoration of webextensions-based Bahá'í Reference Library Wiki Overlay add-on

Possible to-dos

1. RSS feed for new additions to the library (based on a date-detected field)
