Layout data is essential for rendering Mushaf pages in digital applications and tools. QUL provides a Mushaf Layout Tool that allows you to design layouts for any Mushaf. Layout data is then exported as downloadable Sqlite or json files.

To render a Mushaf layout, you'll need the following resources:

Quran script in word by word format, See available Quran scripts
Font compatible with your selected Quran script, See available fonts
And layout data for selected Mushaf, See available mushaf layouts
Surah names, you can download Surah names from Quran metadata resource.

Overview of requird data for rendering Mushaf layout

`line_number`	The line number on the page.
`line_type`	Specifies the type of line, possible value for line_type could be: ayah:Regular line showing the Quran script. surah_name: A line with Surah name. You can retrieve the Surah details using the `surah_number` column. basmallah: A line displaying "Bismillah".

`word_index`	The unique ID for each word. This id is referenced in `first_word_id` and `last_word_id` in `pages` table in mushaf layout db
`word_key`	Uniq word key in Surah:Ayah format
`surah`	Surah number
`ayah`	Ayah number.

How to render Mushaf page

To render a page of the Mushaf, follow these general steps:

Query the pages table in the layout SQLite database to retrieve the necessary details for each line on the page (including the page_number, line_number, line_type, etc.).
For each line, based on the line_type, determine the content to render:
- If the line_type is surah_name, render the Surah name on this line. surah_number filed contain the surah id you need to render .
- If the line_type is ayah, retrieve the words between first_word_id and last_word_id from the words table and render those words in order(or concatenate them to form the single string and render it).
- If the line_type is basmallah, display the Bismillah on this line.
Ensure that the text for each line is aligned correctly (centered or justified, align the line based on the is_centered field).
Repeat this process for each line on the page until all lines are rendered.
