PanelEtymology

A TaxonPages panel that displays gender, part of speech, and etymology information for a given taxon. It pulls Latinized classifications from the TaxonWorks API and renders the taxon's etymology with Markdown support.

Panel ID: panel:etymology Supported rank groups by default: GenusGroup, SpeciesGroup, SpeciesAndInfraspeciesGroup

Installation

Via npm

npm install @jlpereira/taxonpages-panel-etymology

How it works

1. Fetching classifications — Requests /taxon_name_classifications filtered by taxon_name_id and keeps only those of type TaxonNameClassification::Latinized::* (gender and part of speech).

2. Human-readable labels — Maps each classification type to a readable label and joins them as a comma-separated list (e.g. Masculine, Adjective).

   | Classification type | Label | | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------- | | Latinized::Gender::Masculine | Masculine | | Latinized::Gender::Feminine | Feminine | | Latinized::Gender::Neuter | Neuter | | Latinized::PartOfSpeech::Adjective | Adjective | | Latinized::PartOfSpeech::Participle | Participle | | Latinized::PartOfSpeech::NounInApposition | Noun in apposition | | Latinized::PartOfSpeech::NounInGenitiveCase | Noun in genitive case |

3. Gendered forms — When the taxon belongs to the species group (rank includes SpeciesGroup or SpeciesAndInfraspecies) and is classified as an adjective or participle, the panel renders the masculine_name, feminine_name, and neuter_name properties of the taxon as a comma-separated list.

4. Etymology — If the taxon has an etymology field, it is rendered below the classifications using Markdown (HTML enabled).

5. Visibility — The card is hidden entirely when the taxon has no etymology, no gendered names, and no Latinized classifications.
