Bookish Reader

This is a companion repository to Bookish, which uses packaged components from Bookish to create a standalone Reader app that reads a book.json file from the root folder of the Reader, and chapters from the chapters folder in the root.

Assuming you have npm installed, set up a book as follows:

• Install the reader npm install bookish-reader
• Build the reader npm run build
• Copy everything in the resulting build folder to wherever your book folder is hosted.

That's it!

Bookish Reader is currently in beta; it is not yet ready for production.

How it works

Bookish is written in SvelteKit, and as is Bookish Reader, and so the compiled app is a SvelteKit app. The build step above uses SvelteKit's [static adapter])(https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/master/packages/adapter-static) to generate a static site. However, it makes a few assumptions about how the book will be hosted; the defaults here assume a web server that will fall back to index.html when a page doesn't exist, among other things. You may need to update some of the build settings to property configure it for your hosting environment.
