গীতবিতান

This is a web portal providing easy access to entire corpus of songs written by Rabindranath Tagore

##Installation

###On the cloud The app is deployed on Heroku. This is generally the latest version of the app, so it is best to use this.

###Locally But if you want to run it yourself, you will need to -

• Install NodeJS
• Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/ssbanerje/gbn.git

• Download all dependencies

npm install

##Run the App

###On a server

node main.js server

####Features

#####The Queries The site can be used to query the entire collection of songs written by Rabindranath Tagore.

Queries are made in a simple JSON based query language. Songs can be searched on the basis of name, raag, taal, parjaay. Queries can be made using all these keys or a single one. Here is a sample query -

{
  "name":"aac"
}

This will match all songs whose name starts with "aac". A more complicated query can be the following -

{
  "name":"aac",
  "raag":"Bhairavi",
  "taal":"Dadra",
  "parjaay":"Prem"
}

This will match all songs whose name starts with aac, of raag Bhairavi, of taal Dadra and parjaay Prem. However be careful that Bangla transliterations in English are not always universal.

#####The Results Here is how the results are displayed -

######Lyrics

######Notations

######Songs

###Query from the command line

• Run the app from the command line using the following

./app.js query <JSON Query>

The JSON query is the same as in the server.

####Open Files from terminal

• You can use the -l or --lyrics command line option to open the lyrics.
• You can use the -n or --notation command line option to open the notation.
