English spelling dictionary.

What is this?

This is a English dictionary, generated by wooorm/dictionaries from wordlist.aspell.net, normalized and packaged so that it can be installed and used like other dictionaries.

When should I use this?

You can use this package when integrating with tools that perform spell checking (such as nodehun, nspell) or when making such tools.

Install

In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install dictionary-en

Use

import dictionaryEn from 'dictionary-en'

dictionaryEn(function (error, en) {
  if (error) throw error
  console.log(en)
  // To do: use `en` somehow
})

Yields:

{dic: <Buffer>, aff: <Buffer>}

Where dic and aff are Buffers for index.dic and index.aff respectively.
