Reed

Setup:

1. Clone the repo.
2. cd to Reed and run pod install.
3. Download a gzipped, jsonified JMdict_e file (see below) and add it Reed/Reed/Dictionary.
4. Build the project (CMD+B) and test targets (CMD+Shift+U).
5. You can uncomment and run the unit test ReedTests/Dictionary/DictionaryParserTests: testReadInDictionaryData to see if you have your dictionary set up correctly.
6. Run the project (CMD+R) and wait at the splash screen to load the dictionary into Core Data (this may take 6+ minutes on Simulator).

How to get a dictionary file

Option 1:

1. Download it from the Reed Dropbox root directory.

• This dictionary was last updated 9/17/20, so it may be outdated.

3. Clone the JMdict-parser repo by tkshnwesper: https://github.com/tkshnwesper/JMdict-Parser#readme
4. Install its dependencies: npm i -g jmdict-parser
5. Convert the unzipped dictionary to json: jmdict-parser <your_jmdict_xml_file>
6. Compress the json file: gzip <your_jmdict_json_file>
