This package is a unified (retext) plugin to check spelling with
nspell
and a dictionary.
You can opt-into this plugin when you’re dealing with content that might contain spelling mistakes, and have authors that can fix that content.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install retext-spell
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import retextSpell from 'https://esm.sh/retext-spell@6'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import retextSpell from 'https://esm.sh/retext-spell@6?bundle'
</script>
import dictionaryEn from 'dictionary-en'
import {retext} from 'retext'
import retextSpell from 'retext-spell'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
const file = await retext()
.use(retextSpell, {dictionary: dictionaryEn})
.process('Some useles documeant.')
console.error(reporter(file))
Yields:
1:6-1:12 warning Unexpected unknown word `useles`, expected for example `useless` useles retext-spell
1:13-1:22 warning Unexpected unknown word `documeant`, expected for example `document` documeant retext-spell

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, retext-spell@^6
,
compatible with Node.js 16.
