Usage as a module

lintspelljs could be used as a module to check js files. Check lintint (https://www.npmjs.com/package/lintint) for an example of usage.

var spellCheckerLib = require('lintspelljs');
var options = {
    color: false
};
var spellChecker = new spellCheckerLib.JsSpellChecker(options);
var results = spellChecker.checkString('var variavle_fisrt = 1 + funktionKall(); // Tetsing');

Results will contain an Array of Objects with the following format:

{
    type: <<String>>, // The type of the parsed string (one of 'identifier', 'string', 'comment')
    message: <<String>>, // There are three possible messages
    line: <<Integer>>, // The line number for the parsed string
    word: <<String>>, // The word which is checked
    misspelled: <<Boolean>> // The result of the spell check (true if the word is misspelled) 
}

Default options

{
    dicts: [{ // Path of dictionaries to use. Can be a string or an object like { aff: <<String>>, dic: <<String>> }
        aff: 'dicts/en_US.aff',
        dic: 'dicts/en_US.dic'
    }],
    checkers: ['identifier', 'string', 'comment'], // locations where to check words
    color: true, // If true, return colored and bold messages
    hideSuccessful: true, // If true, return only the misspelled results
    skipWords: [], // Additional words to ignore and do not mark as misspelled
    minLength: 0 // Words with a length less than minLength won't be checked
}

Test

lintspelljs uses mocha for testing and chai for assertions. You should have mocha installed globally to run tests.

npm install -g mocha

And to run the test you can use:

npm test

Dictionaries

To spell check each string lintspelljs is using the hunspell-spellchecker. And for dictionaries the openoffice en_US files.
