## ✨ Features

Frontend supports all Urban Dictionary features and has endpoint-parity with it.
Available features include:

- Word definitions
- Author pages
- Homepage with words of the day
- Random word definitions
- 404 page with words similar to search
- Pagination

## 🚀 Deployment

Clone repository:

```sh
git clone https://git.vern.cc/cobra/rural-dict.git
cd rural-dict
```

### 🐳 With Docker

```sh
docker build . -t rural-dict
docker compose up -d
```

### 💻 Without containerization

```sh
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.lock
uvicorn src.main:app --no-access-log --proxy-headers --forwarded-allow-ips '*' --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5758
```

### 🛡️ Running behind a reverse proxy

To run the app behind a reverse proxy, ensure that the appropriate proxy headers are added.
Below is a sample configuration for NGINX:

```text
location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5758;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
```

## 🔧 Development

Install Rye by following
the [installation guide](https://rye.astral.sh/guide/installation/).

Use `rye sync` to install dependencies and required Python version.

Use `rye run dev` to start development server which will reload on every change to source code.

## 🔗 Redirection

To use Rural Dictionary, simply replace an Urban Dictionary URL with a Rural Dictionary URL from
the instance list above. Auto-redirect browser extension
like [Redirector](https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector) can be used to achieve this.

For example, change:

`https://urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kin`

to:

`https://rd.vern.cc/define.php?term=kin`

**Note:** More endpoints are supported.
