- Once you have the shabdakosh file, place it in the directory
assets/db/shabda.sqlite3. - Now build your app.

The databse contains three tables: corpora, meanings, examples.
| id | word | favourite |
|---|---|---|
| 33018 | अ | 1 |
| 33019 | अ: | 0 |
I guess the table and the data types are self-explanatory.
| id | grammar | etymology | corpora_id | senses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | पूस. | 33018 | NULL | ['शब्दका अगाडि लागेर अभाव, भिन्नता, विपरीतता आदि बुझाउने पूर्वसर्ग।'] |
| 5 | नि. | 33018 | NULL | ['दिक्क लागेको अवस्थामा व्यक्त गरिने उपेक्षा भाव।'] |
| 6 | नि. | 33019 | NULL | ['निकै; अति।'] |
| 7 | नि. | [प्रा. आम< सं. आम्] | 33020 | ['स्वीकार, सम्झना, आश्चर्य, उपेक्षा, प्रसन्नता, पीडा आदि भाव जनाउने; प्रायः वाक्यका अगाडि आउने शब्द।'] |
I guess this too is self explanatory.
| id | corpora_id | usage |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 33020 | अँ त म भन्दै थिएँ, यो बाटोमा भेटियो। |
| 6 | 33020 | मुखले भने गुड्डी हाँकेर ऐले नै अँ के रे मोती समेत फुलाउँछ क्यारे जस्तो गर्छ |
| 7 | 33053 | लोग्नेले सुशीलाको सुकुमार गोलो गर्धनमा हात पुर्याएर अँगाल्यो। |
| 8 | 33053 | भुटानले नेपाल र नेपाली मूलका भुटानीप्रति नकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण अँगाल्यो। |
This too is self explanatory. However, I must mention that not every word in the dictionary listing has usage examples. Further, the meanings of the words are taken from one source and the example usage are taken from another source. As a result, sometimes, there are usage examples of certain words that have extra meanings than the ones mentioned in the definitions. I'm planning to show definitions from both sources in the future.
I am accepting pull requests if you want to contribute.
