Source code for QuranApp

QuranApp

This is the code that powers http://quranapp.net

Development

Database Creation

QuranApp uses a number of data files from http://tanzil.net. The following files should be placed the data/ directory:

quran-data.xml from http://tanzil.net/wiki/Quran_Metadata
quran-uthmani.xml from http://tanzil.net/download
en.hilali.xml from http://tanzil.net/trans/

Then create the database using the following command:

python create_db.py

Images

QuranApp requires some static images to be created for PDF generation. The easiest way to do that is to:

1. Generate an HTML file containing every single aya, in order
2. Serve this file at some URL
3. Use casperjs with data/images.js to screenshot and generate images appropriately

These images should then be copied to static/image/

Deployment

Pushing to Production

Deployment just requires pushing the index.html file and the static/ directory to a publicly accessible directory.
