Sync flashcards from Pleco to Anki.

Pleco to Anki sync

To use:

• Install the AnkiConnect add-on for Anki (one-time)
• Install and set up nodejs (one-time)
• Export flashcards from Pleco.
  • See screenshot for how to configure the export options
  • Transfer the file from your phone to your computer. e.g. to ~/Desktop/flash.txt
• Build js: npm run build
• Run js: npm run run -- ~/Desktop/flash.txt

The code expects the following to exist in Anki:

• A deck called "Max Infinity"
• A note type "Chinese" with fields: english, chinese, pinyin, extra

Code does a query to ensure that duplicate cards are not created if the same file is imported again. This doesn't work if the cards are edited in Anki.
