@whiteand/mybible

Read MyBible .SQLite3 modules in Node.js: books, verses, module info, and the HTML used in verse text.

Requires Node and better-sqlite3 (native addon, peer dependency).

Install

npm install @whiteand/mybible better-sqlite3

Usage

import { readBibleModule, getVerse, htmlToPlain } from "@whiteand/mybible";

const module = readBibleModule("./UBIO.SQLite3");

const verse = getVerse(module, 10, 1, 1); // Genesis 1:1
if (verse?.text) {
  console.log(htmlToPlain(verse.text));
}

readBibleModule opens the file read-only and returns { id, info, books, verses }. The path must end in .SQLite3. Commentary (.commentaries.SQLite3) and dictionary (.dictionary.SQLite3) files are rejected.

Book numbers follow the MyBible scheme (Matthew is 470). strongLanguageForBook returns "H" for the Old Testament and "G" for the New Testament.

Verse HTML

Verse text is a small HTML subset (emphasis, footnotes, Strong's numbers, and similar). Helpers:

| Function | Result | | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | | htmlToPlain | Plain text | | htmlToStrongIds | Strong's numbers in the verse | | htmlToStream / streamToHtml | Token stream and the reverse |

Lookup

• getBookByNumber, getBookByLongName, getBookBy
• getVerse, getVerseBy

Lookups return null when nothing matches.
