Tipitaka.lk - Buddha Jayanthi Tripitaka and Atuwa

The proofread Buddha Jayanthi Tripitaka (Pali + Sinhala) and Atuwa, served as

• the website https://tipitaka.lk
• offline Android and iOS apps (WebView)
• offline desktop apps (Windows / macOS / Linux)

Github pages explaining the proofreading process.

The text lives in public/static/text/*.json - the ground truth edited by proofreaders. Everything else is generated from it. See dev-docs/architecture.md.

Requirements: Node 24+, Go 1.27+ with a C compiler (cgo), tipitaka.app checked out next to this repo (../cst, its db/dict.db is the source of the dictionaries).

npm ci
npm run build:data       # public/static/text/*.json -> db/text.db (validation, tree, search index) ~15 s
npm run build:dict       # ../cst/db/dict.db -> db/dict.db (English, Sinhala dictionaries, DPD) ~10 s
npm run build:web        # web app -> web/dist
npm run build:server     # Go server -> server/bin/tipitaka_lk
./server/bin/tipitaka_lk  # http://localhost:8400 (localhost, not 127.0.0.1: the recitation CDN allows only that origin)
npm run dev              # vite dev server with hot reload on :8081 (proxies /api to :8400)

• npm run build:data validates the text (errors fail; new warnings fail unless accepted with npm run build:data -- --update-baseline) and rebuilds db/text.db. See db/build-report.md.
• Deploy with scripts/deploy.sh (text-only updates use the same command). CI runs the full validation on every push to master (proofreaders' corrections).

npm run check runs everything before a commit (CI only validates the texts). Separately: npm test (unit), npm run test:full (full corpus, parity with v2), npm run test:sqlite-compat (Android SQLite 3.9.2), cd server && go test ./..., npm run test:e2e (Playwright). See dev-docs/testing.md.

• Website: scripts/deploy.sh - pulls the latest text from GitHub, builds, uploads, tests and switches (see dev-docs/deploy.md).
• Apps (tipitaka.app's design: the web app build + the Go engine; dev-docs/native-bridge.md):
  • iOS and macOS (one App Store record, lk.tipitaka.ios): scripts/build-apple.sh all --upload, then node scripts/asc-release.mjs listing|build|submit IOS|MAC_OS and node scripts/asc-screenshots.mjs IOS|MAC_OS.
  • Android (lk.tipitaka.main): scripts/android-assets.sh (into /Volumes/2TB/Android/Tipitaka.lk-v3), then ./gradlew bundleRelease there.
  • Windows (Microsoft Store): scripts/build-desktop.sh windows -> release/tipitaka_lk-<version>.msix.
  • Store texts: release/*/listing.md; icons node scripts/make-icons.mjs; screenshots node scripts/store-screenshots.mjs.
