Lingua-Poly is a system for disassembling human languages.
Pre-alpha, incomplete. This documentation is mostly for the author at the time of this writing.
The first language being implemented is Finnish. Currently, the present tense indicative active of Finnish verbs is being implemented.
Node.js is required in order to build or run the front-end.
You need Perl in order to run the backend.
Install the required Perl modules with 'cpanm':
$ cd /path/to/Lingua-Poly
$ cd perl
$ cpanm --installdeps .
$ cpanm -n .
If your current user does not have write permissions for the Perl module
directory, you have to run cpanm
with sudo
:
$ cd /path/to/Lingua-Poly
$ cd apis/users
$ sudo cpanm --installdeps .
$ sudo cpanm -n .
One of the indirect dependencies is Authen::Passphrase::Scrypt
which may
be difficult to compile. You have to make sure that libcrypto
from the
OpenSSL package is installed, and you may have to pass the directories,
where the library file libcrypto.a
and the header openssl/aes.h
are
found.
For example on Mac OS X with Mac ports you probably have to do something like:
$ LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib -lcrypto" CFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" cpanm --installdeps .
Your mileage may vary.
A regular backend (API) server is started like this:
$ cd /path/to/Lingua-Poly
$ cd apis/users
$ perl -Ilib script/lingua-poly-service-users daemon
If you have the web server morby
in your $PATH
(should be installed as a
dependency), you can also start a development web server that watches for
changes and restarts itself:
$ cd /path/to/Lingua-Poly
$ cd apis/users
$ morbo script/lingua-poly-service-users
Environment variables:
- LINGUA_POLY_USERS_DEBUG
-
A list of debugging realms separated by commas, spaces, tabs, colons, or pipe symbols. The following realms are currently supported:
- core
-
the core API framework
- session
-
session handling and controller methods
- db
-
database-related stuff
- request
-
set a debugger breakpoint at the beginning of the request handler
- all
-
all of the above
You need a minimal configuration file lingua-poly-service-users.api.yaml
in
YAML format in the apis/users
directory:
database:
dbname: linguapoly
user: nobody
secrets:
- SLJao2rSz6GGpWBXcovAVQJfvBFch3kC7AE8QdCeIlt
Make sure that the configured database user has sufficient privileges to read and write all tables in the database.
Instead of "inventing" a secret, you are advised just omit it initially. The server application will fail in that case and a randomly generated secret will be shown in the error message.
In development mode, you do not need a real mail server but can start a fake one:
$ cd /path/to/Lingua-Poly
$ yarn run maildev
This will start maildev, a development smtp server on your local machine running on port 1025. This mail server will not deliver any mail but will put them all into one single mailbox that you can access under http://localhost:1080.
TODO! This is outdated.
You can manually create a password (digest) with this one-liner:
$ perl -Iperl/lib -MLingua::Poly::Util::System -e "print Lingua::Poly::Util::System::crypt_password('admin')"
{ARGON2}$argon2id$v=19$m=32768,t=12,p=1$MTM1QzRDNkEtMDUzOS0xMUVBLUI0NjItM0ZCMDQyNjU0QTBB$tir07b6/y+fWwkvJe9Cw3A
Replace "admin" with a cleartext password.
You can assign this password to [email protected]
like this:
$ echo "UPDATE users SET password = '{SHA512}c7ad44cbad762a5da0a452f9e854fdc1e0e7a52a38015f23f3eab1d80b931dd472634dfac71cd34ebc35d16ab7fb8a90c81f975113d6c7538dc69dd8de9077ec=' WHERE email = '[email protected]'
Replace "[email protected]" with the user’s login, and the part beginning
with {SHA512}
with the output of the above one-liner.
Build the frontend like this:
$ cd /path/to/Lingua-Poly
$ yarn run build
yarn run v1.3.2
$ ng build

This will create a directory named 'dist/Lingua-Poly' with all frontend files. Move the contents of this directory into the document root of your web server or …
Alternatively you can run the application with a built-in web server:
$ cd /path/to/Poly-Lingua
$ yarn start
yarn run v1.3.2
$ ng serve --open
** Angular Live Development Server is listening on localhost:4200, open your browser on http://localhost:4200/ **
...
The application is then available at http://localhost:4200/.
You have to tell the development web server the URI of the backend API
server. The default provided in the file proxy.conf.json
should actually just
work if you follow the instructions.
