Live: Pericope.app
A searchable directory of online commentaries regarding the assigned texts for Sundays and holy days in Christian traditions.
pe·ric·o·pe /pəˈrikəpē/
Pericope, form the Greek περικοπή "cutting around", refers to portions of scripture specifically selected for public worship services especially in more liturgical traditions. I have known many folks refer to the sermon preparation groups I've participated in as "pericope study."
It may also share some etymology with the word paragraph, which is why I choose the current simple logo ¶.
This app is modeled from Text Week which is a static directory serving a similar purpose and audience.
- The Links collection is publically accessible.
- Filter-search by Sunday or text from the main page. Click on a day to see all the associated links.
- Default view sorts by most upvoted links.
- All authenticated users can upvote links.
- Users can only remove their own upvote.
- Users with submitter role can add links.
- Submitters are prevented from adding duplicate links, and must tag with at least one day from a dropdown which includes suggestions.
- Firestore (Google Firebase) for database
- Express
- React
- Node for Firebase Cloud Functions
I ommitted the config object for the live project from this repo. Compliation will fail without a working config however. Create a Firebase project and add your config file to /src/util/firebaseConfig and be sure to name the export as shown in this snippet:
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: '',
authDomain: '',
projectId: '',
storageBucket: '',
messagingSenderId: '',
appId: '',
measurementId: '',
};
export { firebaseConfig };All components are in a single src/components file. This may change as the project grows in complexity.
Data models are found in src/data
These files show how individual documents are structured in Firestore. You could import them instead of a call to the database if you are interested in testing the UI only without setting up Firebase.
I did not include the votes data model, which is a simple list of the linkUID with a userUID.
- Firebase configuration including a context provider for current user.
- validators for the link submit form.
The top-level App.js handles Firebase auth including a change-status listener, settings a current user Context, and React Router.
See functions/index.js
Manages the upvote/downvote counter on create/delete document in the votes collection.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
Use yarn start to run (after successful install)

This is a hobby side-project which strives to provide a web tool for preachers while also helping improve my coding skills. Additionally, it serves as a professional portfolio item.
Contributors are welcome, but please remember this is my first open-source project.
