# Pixiv Encyclopedia for Yomitan

[![](https://img.shields.io/github/v/tag/marvnc/pixiv-yomitan?style=for-the-badge&label=Last%20Release)](https://github.com/MarvNC/pixiv-yomitan/releases/latest)

Pixiv Encyclopedia for Yomitan is a conversion of the public

[Pixiv Encyclopedia (ピクシブ百科事典)](https://dic.pixiv.net/) of over 630,000

entries for [Yomitan](https://github.com/themoeway/yomitan). The encyclopedia is

quite extensive, with a focus on popular culture but containing entries for many

proper nouns. For instance, 和泉妃愛 has an entry as does likely every notable

VTuber, media franchise, and mountain in Japan.

A new release of Pixiv for Yomitan is automatically created daily using data

sourced from the updated dumps at

[pixiv-dump](https://github.com/MarvNC/pixiv-dump).

Built using

[yomichan-dict-builder](https://github.com/MarvNC/yomichan-dict-builder).

## Usage

- You can download the latest release from the

  [releases page](https://github.com/MarvNC/pixiv-yomitan/releases).

  - The `Pixiv` release is the full version of the encyclopedia, containing both

    the short summary as well as the 概要 if applicable and 関連記事.

  - The `PixivLight` release is a lightweight version (though still quite large)

    of the encyclopedia, omitting the 概要 and 関連記事 to save on storage

    space.

  - An MDict version of the dictionary from 2024-02-20 converted by an anon is

    [available here](https://github.com/MarvNC/pixiv-yomitan/releases/tag/2024-02-20).

> [!IMPORTANT] 

> These dictionaries are quite large and may take 2-20+ minutes to

> import depending on your device. After import, as much as 500MB+ of 

> storage may be consumed by Yomitan.

## Development

This project uses [Bun](https://bun.sh) as the runtime instead of Node.js for

better performance and memory efficiency when building large dictionaries.

### Setup

1. Install Bun: `curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash`

2. Install dependencies: `bun install`

3. Build the project: `bun run build`

4. Build the dictionary: `bun run buildPixiv` or `bun run buildPixivLight`

### Development Mode

Create a `.env` file (optional) and set `NODE_ENV=dev`. When in development

mode, the exported dictionary will contain fewer entries (limited to 100) for

faster exports and faster load times in Yomitan.
