import { convertJMdict, generateAnkiNotesFile, getWord } from 'henkan';
//const fs = require('fs');
//const { convertJMdict, generateAnkiNotesFile, getWord } = require('henkan');

const dictContent = fs.readFileSync(dictPath, 'utf-8');

const dictWords = convertJMdict(dictContent);

const jmDict = undefined, kanjiDic = undefined, tanakaCorpus = undefined, definitions = undefined;

const noteTypeName = 'Word';
const deckName = 'Japanese::Vocabulary::No kanji form words';
