PF2e Spell Finder

A spell list for Pathfinder 2E with filters, search, and sort functionality.

The latest version can be consulted here

Development

The project is divided in 2 parts:

  1. The converter, which reads the spell list source in data/all.yaml, validates it, and generates a minified JSON file
  2. The web application, a single-page app written in React.

Converter

On top of improvements to the converter itself, running the converter when altering the data source is also useful as it validates the data format and checks for common errors. You will need the following to work on the converter:

  • Some version of Python (Python 3.6+ recommended)
  • pip, the Python package manager

Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You should now be able to use the converter. To do so, simply type python convert.py ./<OUT_FILE>.

Web application

A React-based application that uses React Bootstrap to look pretty. You will need the following to work on the web application:

  • The converter's dependencies
  • Node.js (ideally 10+)
  • The yarn package manager

The scripts/start-dev.sh script will take care of installing dependencies and spin up a development version of the app for you to play with.

Static build

Static builds create a Docker image that can be used to spin up containers. A recent version of Docker is required. Use the following command inside the project's root:

docker build -t spellfinder:dev .

Once the build is complete, use the following command to publish the build on https://localhost:5151:

docker run -p 5151:5151 spellfinder:dev
