# taizen

[![MIT licensed](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](./LICENSE)

Browse mediawiki pages from the command line.

## Installation

### From crates.io

```shell

cargo install taizen

```

### Building from source

This project uses [Cursive crate](https://github.com/gyscos/Cursive), so before installing `Taizen` make sure you have installed necessary Cursive [dependencies](https://github.com/gyscos/Cursive/wiki/Install-ncurses).

```shell

git clone https://github.com/nerdypepper/taizen

cd taizen

cargo run --release

```

## Usage

Taizen uses a **stack** like model. Articles are opened on new layers, pop a layer to go back.

- Hit `s` to search

- Hit `q` to quit

- Hit `t` to pop a layer from the article stack

You can now view wikipedia pages in different languages, by passing the language code as a commandline arg. [List of language codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias#Detailed_list)

### Examples

```shell

taizen https://pl.wikipedia.org/   # view the polski wikis

taizen --lang=sv                   # view the swedish wikis

```
