Install

Use

import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
import {retext} from 'retext'
import retextSpell from 'retext-spell'
import dictionary from 'dictionary-en-gb'

retext()
  .use(retextSpell, dictionary)
  .process('Some useles documeant.')
  .then((file) => {
    console.error(reporter(file))
  })

Yields:

   1:6-1:12  warning  `useles` is misspelt; did you mean `useless`?      useles     retext-spell

Signatures

• retext().use(spell, dictionary)
• retext().use(spell, options)

options.dictionary

A dictionary (Function). Result of requiring one of the dictionaries in wooorm/dictionaries.

options.personal

Personal dictionary (string or a Buffer in UTF-8, optional).

options.ignore

List of words to ignore (Array.<string>, default []).

options.ignoreLiteral

Whether to ignore literal words (boolean?, default true).

options.ignoreDigits

Whether to ignore “words” that contain only digits, such as 123456 (boolean?, default true).

options.normalizeApostrophes

Deal with apostrophes (boolean?, default true). Whether to swap smart apostrophes (’) with straight apostrophes (') before checking spelling. Dictionaries typically support this, but this option can be used if not.

options.max

Number of unique words to suggest for (number?, default 30). By default, up to thirty words are suggested for. Further misspellings are still warned about, but without suggestions. Increasing this number significantly impacts performance.
