SPG App

This project is an admin tool designed to digitize Suraj Prakash into a central database. You can find the spg.dev front-end repo over here

Running Locally

As of right now, this repo is public however the the database is not.

Make sure you have the following setup:

  • Node v12.18.3
  • MySQL 5.7
  • Knex JS
  1. Clone the repo: git clone git@github.com:dsomel21/spg.git

  2. Install dependencies:

cd spg && yarn
cd client && yarn
  1. Create the Database and create a .env file in the root directory of the repo and paste the following details:
DATABASE_HOST="localhost"
DATABASE_USER="YOUR_MYSQL_USERNAME"
DATABASE_PASSWORD="YOUR_MYSQL_PASSWORD"

Run yarn start in the root directory and this will boot-up the API in localhost:1469/. Then run yarn start in client/ directory to run the admin section. You can now run the app in localhost:3000/

ਉਨਿਸ ਸਤ ਪੂਰੇ ਭਏ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਮ੍ਰਿਗੇਸ । ਸ੍ਰੀ ਸੂਰਜ ਪਰਕਾਸ ਕਿਅ ਅਦਭੁਦ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਬਿਸੇਸ ।⁣

In 1900 Bikrami (1843 CE) the Exalted Santokh Singh completed the magnificent and marvelous Suraj Prakash.

ਜਾ ਸਮਾਨ ਕਉ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਨ ਆਨਾ । ਸਤਗੁਰੁ ਜਸ ਕਰ ਮਨਹੁ ਖਜਾਨਾ । ⁣

There is no other [historical] text equal to the Suraj Prakash - recognize it as the treasure trove of praise of the True Guru.⁣

ਰਚ ਜਹਾਜ ਜਗ ਸਿੰਘ ਤਰਾਏ । ਸ੍ਰੀ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਸਿੰਘ ਜਸ ਆਏ । ⁣

The Exalted Santokh Singh acquired great praise; in this world he created this vessel to liberate all the Singhs.

Baba Sumer Singh - 'Gurpad Prem Prakash' (1880), page 527.⁣ (Translation by Manglacharan)

Kavi Santokh Singh Ji has contributed his life to poetically documenting the life of the Sikh Guru's. This project strives to create a central database for Kavi Ji's Gurprataap Sooraj Granth (also known as Sooraj Prakash Granth) using the admin tools in this application.
