Running locally

sendou.ink

Prerequisites: nvm

There is a sequence of commands you need to run:

1. nvm use to switch to the correct Node version. If you don't have the correct Node.js version yet it will prompt you to install it via the nvm install command. If you have problems with nvm you can also install the latest LTS version of Node.js from their website.
2. npm i to install the dependencies.
3. Make a copy of .env.example that's called .env. Filling additional values is not necessary unless you want to use real Discord auth or develop Lohi bot.
4. npm run migrate up to set up the database tables.
5. npm run dev to run the project in development mode.
6. Navigate to http://localhost:5800/admin. There press the seed button to fill the DB with test data. You can also impersonate any user (Sendou#0043 = admin).

Translations

View progress

sendou.ink can be translated to any language. All the translations can be found in the locales folder. Here is how you can contribute:

1. Copy a .json file from /en folder.
2. Translate lines one by one. For example "country": "Country", could become "country": "Maa",. Keep the "key" on the left side of : unchanged.
3. Finally send the translated .json to Sendou or make a pull request if you know how.

Things to note:

• weapons.json and gear.json are auto-generated. Don't touch these.
• If some language doesn't have a folder it can be added.
• Some translated .json files can also have some lines in English as new lines get added to the site. Those can then be translated.
• Some lines have a dynamic part like this one: "articleBy": "by {{author}}" in this case {{author}} should appear in the translated version unchanged. So in other words don't translate the part inside {{}}.
• There is one more special syntax to keep in mind. When you translate this line "project": "Sendou.ink is a project by <2>Sendou</2> with help from contributors:", the <2></2> should appear in the translated version. The text inside these tags can change.
• To update a translation file copy the existing file, do any modifications needed and send the updated one.
• Don't update translation-progress.md file directly. There is a script for this npm run check-translation-jsons. If you don't know how to run it then Sendou will run it for you.

Any questions please ask Sendou!

API

If you want to use the API then please leave an issue explaing your use case. By default I want to allow open use of the data on the site. It's just not recommended to use the same API's the web pages use as they are not stable at all and can change at any time without warning.
