## 📝 Implementation Steps
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Choose Your Method
|
|
- **For 100% accuracy**: Use Option 1 (Manual)
|
|
- **For speed**: Use Option 3 (Pre-made data)
|
|
- **For learning**: Use Option 2 (Automated)
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Format the Data
|
|
Each book should follow this structure:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
'Genesis': {
|
|
1: {
|
|
1: 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.',
|
|
2: 'The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters...',
|
|
// ... continue for all verses
|
|
},
|
|
2: {
|
|
1: 'So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed.',
|
|
// ... continue for all verses
|
|
},
|
|
// ... continue for all 50 chapters
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Add to nlt-data.js
|
|
Replace the placeholder structure with actual NLT text:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
export const nltData = {
|
|
'Genesis': {
|
|
1: {
|
|
1: 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.',
|
|
2: 'The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters...',
|
|
// ... all verses
|
|
},
|
|
// ... all chapters
|
|
},
|
|
// ... all 66 books
|
|
};
|
|
```
