al-quran.reflectslight.io/README.md

About

This repository contains the source code of al-quran.reflectslight.io - a static website for reading (and listening to) The Noble Quran. After the website is built, the build directory consists of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other static assets that can be hosted by a web server such as nginx, apache, et cetera.

Development

Requirements

The following languages and tools have to be installed to build the website from source:

• Ruby 3.2 (or later)
• NodeJS v18.15 (or later)
• tidy-html5

Examples

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/ReflectsLight/al-quran.reflectslight.io
cd al-quran.reflectslight.io

# Setup build environment
bin/setup

# List all tasks
bundle exec rake -T

# Build website (dev build)
bundle exec rake nanoc:build

# Build website (production build)
bundle exec rake nanoc:build[production]

# Start web server
bundle exec rake server

Configuration

• server.base_url
  If you plan to host the website on your own domain you should update nanoc.yaml first. In certain places links will reference https://al-quran.reflectslight.io instead of using a relative path. For example /src/sitemap.xml.erb is one such place. Those links can be updated to your own domain by changing the server.base_url field in nanoc.yaml before running bundle exec rake nanoc:build.

• audio.base_url
  audio.base_url controls what web server serves audio content. The default works out of the box. The URL for an audio file is resolved by joining audio.base_url and /<surahid>/<ayahid>.mp3. The audio.base_url option makes it relatively easy to change the reciter at build time, before deploying the website.

  The https://audio.al-quran.reflectslight.io endpoint provides the following recitations:

  • Mishari bin Rashed Alafasy
    https://audio.al-quran.reflectslight.io/alafasy
  • Ahmad bin Ali Al-Ajmi
    https://audio.al-quran.reflectslight.io/alajmi
  • Sahl Yassin
    https://audio.al-quran.reflectslight.io/yassin
  • Hani ar-Rifai
    https://audio.al-quran.reflectslight.io/rifai

  Note
  Due to their overall size the audio files are the only files not kept in this repository. The audio files are hosted by https://audio.al-quran.reflectslight.io instead.
