Once you have npm installed, you can run the command line to use the app on the fly on your terminal:
npx taipa
You can enter Roman alphabet chit:
> npx taipa chit
and get the information of each letter in return:
> npx taipa chit ch - initialConsonant i - vowel t - stopFinalConsonant
You can also supply the npx command with a dictionary:
npx taipa ./path/to/dictionary
After you enter Roman alphabet jinx:
> npx taipa ./path/to/dictionary jinx
You will get the entry from the dictionary in return. Assuming the path to your dictionary is ../dictionaries/example.json:
> node bin/app.js ../dictionaries/example.json jinx 人,仁
Make your own dictionaries and get the entries by entering a Taiwanese word, or even a partial word.
On your terminal, run the following command:
git clone -b develop https://github.com/taipalogy/taipa
Git will create a folder named Taipa and clone all of the files in it.
Enter the folder Taipa, and run the following command to install required libraries as devDependencies:
npm install
npm will create a folder named node_modules and install all of the libraries in it.
Then run the following command to build:
npm run build
and to run test:
npm run test
See NPX section for details.
The app can also be executed by running the following command line, after you have run the command line npm run build:
node bin/app.js

node lib/appkana.js
You can input Roman alphabet,
> node lib/appkana.js katakana
