The yylc-js application is entirely local and can be run offline without access to the Internet. It aims to be a fast and easy way to find immediately usable information about Cantonese measure words.\n\n## Usage\n\nTo search, just begin typing (using Cantonese, Mandarin/Standard Chinese, or Cantonese romanization) in the search box and results should begin appearing immediately. Measure words, verbal measures, collocations, and their pronunciations can all be searched freely.\n\n## Demo\n\nThe application can be run from any browser by simply opening the `index.html` page in the project root directory. A live demo is also available [here](https://dohliam.github.io/yylc/).\n\nThe yylc-js engine uses a modified 9-tone Yale romanization scheme by default. If you prefer to use Jyutping, open the HTML file in the `jp` directory ([demo](https://dohliam.github.io/yylc/jp/)). The more traditional 6-tone Yale system is also available in the `yale` directory ([demo](https://dohliam.github.io/yylc/yale)). Other romanization schemes can be made available upon request.\n\n## To do\n\n* Merge separate Jyutping and 6-tone Yale pages to single interface with romanization options\n* Localize interface to English and other languages\n  * Provide switcher and API to enable this\n* Other romanization schemes?\n* Help / About buttons\n\n## Credits\n\n* [yylc database project](https://github.com/kfcd/yylc) - Cantonese measure word database\n* [Picnic CSS](https://github.com/franciscop/picnic)\n* [pingyam-rb](https://github.com/dohliam/pingyam-rb) - Ruby library for converting Yale romanization to Jyutping\n\n## License\n\n* Measure word data: [CC BY](https://github.com/kfcd/yylc/blob/master/LICENSE)\n* All other code: [MIT](LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdohliam%2Fyylc-js","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdohliam%2Fyylc-js","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdohliam%2Fyylc-js/lists"}
