go-congkit

Chinese input method "Congkit" engine written in Go

This project aims to create an input engine for Congkit input method using Go.

Features

• Typing : Entering Congkit radicals will list the corresponding Chinese words with the subsequence radicals.
• Associated Phrase and Vocabularies: Finished typing a Chinese word will show a list of associated phrases.

Data Source

This project needs a data source for mapping Chinese characters and Congkit radicals.

The source could be borrowed from an earlier project which placed the table under Public Domain.

Congkit Data Source: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cangjie/libcangjie/-/raw/master/data/table.txt

Description

This project provides a binary which takes the input Congkit radicals as English characters and outputs the corresponding matching Chinese word list.

Use as package

go get github.com/antonyho/go-congkit

import (
    congkit "github.com/antonyho/go-congkit/engine"
)

Build the binary

On Linux

Only building the binary

make

Build the binary and generate the database file

make generate

Use as executable process

To-Do Plan

• Benchmarks
• Support wildcard for uncertain radical
• Type frequency (consent needed)
