Gatsby Source plugin for Cleasby & Vigfusson dictionary. Exposes 35 000+ Old Norse words into Gatsby datalayer.

Based on the classic dictionary by Richard Cleasby and Gudbrand Vigfusson. Depends on Node.js version of the dictionary.

yarn add gatsby-source-cleasby-vigfusson

The plugin adds new dictionaryEntry type into datalayer. Individual entries are in format of:

{
    word: String
    definitions: [String]
    slug: String (=slugified, unique headword)
    startsWith: String (=one uppercase letter)
}

To use the plugin in your Gatsby project, just add it to plugins config:

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports {
  // Your other configs.
  plugins: [
    "gatsby-source-cleasby-vigfusson"
  ]
}

If you're using default settings, dictionary entries will contain HTML markup like <strong> and <i> tags. If you wish to get dictionary data without any markup, you can register the plugin with custom settings.

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports {
  // Your other configs.
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "gatsby-source-cleasby-vigfusson",
      options: {
        noMarkup: true,
      }
    }
  ]
}

"Icelandic-English" dictionary was started by Richard Cleasby and finished by Gudbrand Vigfusson. It was published in 1874, which leads to there being many public domain versions of the book available.
