ayat.js's Issues

Add the ability to return ayat in JSON

It would be to also serve as a sort of topic-driven wrapper to api.globalquran, by providing the ability to return ayat in plain JSON as well as the current HTML output.

Allow the user to request a particular translation (if > 1 available)

At least for English, perhaps for more languages, it would be cool if this supported all the translations available from api.globalquran. Or, for a small first pass, a few of the more well-known English tranlations in addition to currently-used yusufAli, such as sahih, arberry, pickthall, asad and maududi.

Topic list should be synched w/latest topic-set from quranindex

Quranindex.info has ~700 topics so it would be great to increase the data.js to include that full set.

sample call in readme has a wrong JSON attribute

The sample call reads :

$("#container").Ayat({
topic: 'women'...

This attribute should be "theme", not "topic." Passing topic causes the code to consider the theme unset and return random verses, which could be confusing if you haven't looked through the code.

Add the ability to return a simple link to quranindex.info ayat in rendered form.

E.G. return "http://quranindex.info/search/abraham" for input topic "Abraham." Or perhaps a shortened version of such a link.

This would be a nice option for outputting links to post in social media etc, since quranindex already provides a hosted space for reaching the ayah by topic. Not sure how passing along language/translation params would work though.

I guess for this use case maybe you would not even need to call the globalquran api directly (instead letting quranindex do it when the returned link is visted)?
