Migrating from Yomichan

Exporting Data

If you are an existing user of Yomichan, you can export your dictionary collection and settings such that they can be imported into Rikaitan to reflect your setup exactly as it was.

You can export your settings from Yomichan's Settings page. Go to the Backup section and click on Export Settings.

You can then import the exported files into Rikaitan from the Backup section of the Settings page. Please see the section on importing dictionaries further below for more explicit steps.

Custom Templates

If you do not use custom templates for Anki note creation, this section can be skipped.

Due to security concerns, an alternate implementation of Handlebars is being used which behaves slightly differently. This revealed a bug in four of Rikaitan's template helpers, which have now been fixed in the default templates. If your custom templates use the following helpers, please ensure their use matches the corrected forms.

Helper Example Corrected
formatGlossary {{#formatGlossary ../dictionary}}{{{.}}}{{/formatGlossary}} {{formatGlossary ../dictionary .}}
furigana {{#furigana}}{{{definition}}}{{/furigana}} {{furigana definition}}
furiganaPlain {{~#furiganaPlain}}{{{.}}}{{/furiganaPlain~}} {{~furiganaPlain .~}}
dumpObject {{#dumpObject}}{{{.}}}{{/dumpObject}} {{dumpObject .}}

Authors of custom templates may be interested to know that other helpers previously used and documented in the block form (e.g. {{#set "key" "value"}}{{/set}}), while not broken by this change, may also be replaced with the less verbose form (e.g. {{set "key" "value"}}). The default templates and helper documentation have been changed to reflect this.
