History

Bryan Maniotakis cc355c5fbd Replace Dictionary API with a local SQLite dictionary The plugin used to call dictionaryapi.dev for every lookup, which was slow, rate-limited, and broke offline. It now ships a local SQLite file (~23MB, ~167K English entries from Wiktionary via the MattDodsonEnglish/english-dictionary project) and queries it locally via sql.js. Plumbing: - DictionaryStore loads the SQLite from <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/lexophile/dictionary.sqlite, downloads on demand from a configurable URL (default: a release asset on this repo), and exposes a synchronous lookup() that returns a WordEntry or null. - lookupWord is now an async wrapper around store.lookup that throws WordNotFoundError on null. DictionaryNotReadyError surfaces the pre-download state so modals can fail fast with a helpful message. - sql.js initialization moved to its own module (src/sqlite.ts) and reused by both the Kobo import and the new dictionary store. - AddWordModal / MassImportModal / KoboImportModal each take the store via constructor and guard against the not-ready state before starting work. - Settings tab gains a "Local dictionary" section with a status pill (Ready / Downloaded-not-loaded / Not downloaded), an entry count and size summary, a Download/Re-download button, and a configurable URL. - Removed the inter-request rate limit (was 350ms for API throttling) — local lookups are sub-millisecond, so a 0ms yield is enough to let the progress line repaint. Bundled dictionary data is hosted as a release asset on bryanmanio/obsidian-lexophile (tag: dictionary-v1). The plugin does not call dictionaryapi.dev at any point during normal use. The Chrome extension still uses the API for its own lookups — out of scope here. Build artifacts: - scripts/build-dictionary.py converts the upstream parquet (167,585 entries) to the compact SQLite schema we ship; documented for reproducibility.

Bryan Maniotakis cc355c5fbd Replace Dictionary API with a local SQLite dictionary

The plugin used to call dictionaryapi.dev for every lookup, which was
slow, rate-limited, and broke offline. It now ships a local SQLite
file (~23MB, ~167K English entries from Wiktionary via the
MattDodsonEnglish/english-dictionary project) and queries it locally
via sql.js.

Plumbing:
- DictionaryStore loads the SQLite from
  <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/lexophile/dictionary.sqlite, downloads
  on demand from a configurable URL (default: a release asset on this
  repo), and exposes a synchronous lookup() that returns a WordEntry
  or null.
- lookupWord is now an async wrapper around store.lookup that throws
  WordNotFoundError on null. DictionaryNotReadyError surfaces the
  pre-download state so modals can fail fast with a helpful message.
- sql.js initialization moved to its own module (src/sqlite.ts) and
  reused by both the Kobo import and the new dictionary store.
- AddWordModal / MassImportModal / KoboImportModal each take the
  store via constructor and guard against the not-ready state before
  starting work.
- Settings tab gains a "Local dictionary" section with a status pill
  (Ready / Downloaded-not-loaded / Not downloaded), an entry count and
  size summary, a Download/Re-download button, and a configurable URL.
- Removed the inter-request rate limit (was 350ms for API throttling) —
  local lookups are sub-millisecond, so a 0ms yield is enough to let
  the progress line repaint.

Bundled dictionary data is hosted as a release asset on
bryanmanio/obsidian-lexophile (tag: dictionary-v1). The plugin does
not call dictionaryapi.dev at any point during normal use. The Chrome
extension still uses the API for its own lookups — out of scope here.

Build artifacts:
- scripts/build-dictionary.py converts the upstream parquet (167,585
  entries) to the compact SQLite schema we ship; documented for
  reproducibility.
