Latex Symbol Classifier Web Frontend

Detexify (Frontend)

LaTeX symbol classifier as a webservice. This is the frontend. Uses https://github.com/kirel/detexify-hs-backend as the backend.

Setup

• Install Ruby 2.1.2 and Bundler
• $ bundle
• $ bundle exec dotenv middleman

Production setup

• $ bundle exec middleman build
• $ bundle exec dotenv rackup
• open http://localhost:9292

This runs the frontend locally using the production backend. It is configured via environment variables. To setup the backend locally see https://github.com/kirel/detexify-hs-backend

Tests

Check if all symbols are compiling: $ rspec spec

Tasks

reminder for myself source ~/.aws

Adding symbols

You need Latex installed!

Symbols are configured in lib/latex/symbols.yml.

1. Add the symbol
2. run the tests $ rspec spec
3. Create a Pull-Request

For me:

4. generate the symbol sprite $ bundle exec rake symbols:sprite
5. Redeploy git push heroku master

Populate the backend

$ bundle exec dotenv rake populate (uses TRAINCOUCH to populate CLASSIFIER - see .env for defaults)
