Usage
NOTE: There are TWO versions of the database:
-
JpdictDatabase
which does not allow searching for words by their glosses (e.g. searching for "eat" to find 食べる) or searching for words that contain particular a particular kanji.i.e.
getWordsWithGloss
andgetWordsWithKanji
will always return an empty result when using this database. -
JpdictFullTextDatabase
which does allow searching for words on gloss or kanji.
Currently you need to decide once when you create the database which version you need. There is no facility to switch between the two.
The reason is that the indices for searching for glosses / kanji are expensive to create and take up disk space, and some applications (e.g. 10ten Japanese Reader) simply don't need them.
Furthermore, hopefully the project is structured such that if you only use
JpdictDatabase
then after tree-shaking your final bundle should not include all
the tokenization / stop word code for generating and querying the gloss indices.
