Pledari Grond - Java API

This repository contains the code for the Java API of Pledari Grond, a Romansh language dictionary and grammar resource.

The code represents a significant refactoring of the original Pledari Grond code, which was based on the Maalr project.

Running the Project

Prerequisites:

• MongoDB: A running instance of MongoDB is required. For local development, you can use docker-compose.yaml to start a Docker container with MongoDB.

Configuration:

Project configuration is located in the application.properties file within the API module. This file also allows you to set the admin user password.

Project Structure

The repository consists of several modules:

• api: Spring Boot application handling web requests to the API.
• common: Data definitions used across different modules.
• inflection: Logic for inflecting words (conjugation, pluralization) in various Romansh idioms. Conjugation generation partially relies on a copy of the Maalr's maalr.conjugator module.
• lucene: Creates Apache Lucene indexes for dictionary data. This includes one main index and two suggestion indexes (German and Romansh) for cases where no exact search results are found.
• mongodb: Handles persistent storage of dictionary data in MongoDB. This module heavily utilizes a copy of Maalr's maalr.mongo module.
• names: Manages storage of names (typical Romansh first/last names, geographical names, etc.) used by spellcheckers.
• parent: Parent module for all project modules, defining common pom entries.
• spellchecker: Handles generation of spellchecker files.
