eslint-plugin-prefer-spelling

eslint plugin to enforce preferred spelling of words

why?

i couldn't find any other eslint plugin and i just decided to make this because the others have way too many features for such a one-off thing.

installation

you'll first need to install eslint:

npm i eslint --save-dev

next, install eslint-plugin-prefer-spelling:

npm install eslint-plugin-prefer-spelling --save-dev

Note

this plugin requires node.js version 18.17.1 or above.

usage

add prefer-spelling to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. you can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{
    "plugins": [
        "prefer-spelling"
    ]
}

then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

{
    "rules": {
        "prefer-spelling/prefer-spelling": ["warn", {
            "words": {
                "color": "colour",
                "canceled": "cancelled"
            },
            "severity": "warn"
        }]
    }
}

rule configuration

the rule takes an object with the following properties:

• words: an object where keys are the words to be replaced, and values are their preferred spellings.
• severity: the severity level of the rule. can be "error", "warn", or "info". defaults to "warn" if not specified.

examples

{
    "rules": {
        "prefer-spelling/prefer-spelling": ["error", {
            "words": {
                "color": "colour",
                "favorite": "favourite",
                "gray": "grey",
                "canceled": "cancelled"
            },
            "severity": "error"
        }]
    }
}

this configuration will report an error for uses of "color", "favorite", "gray", and "canceled", suggesting their british english spellings instead.

features

• does the job
• provides auto-fix suggestions that may be stupid

testing

to run the tests for this plugin that is very dreadful and i really do not want to revisit working this tests because i spent way too much time on it, use the following command:

npm test
