Check your spelling with `hunspell` and/or `languagetool`.
## Use Cases
Run `cargo spellcheck --fix` or `cargo spellcheck fix` to fix all your documentation comments
in order to avoid narsty typos all over your source tree.
Meant as a helper simplifying review as well as improving CI checks
after a learning phase for custom/topic specifc lingo.
### Check For Spelling and/or Grammar Mistakes
```zsh
cargo spellcheck check
```
<pre><font color="#CC0000"><b>error</b></font><font color="#D3D7CF"><b>: spellcheck</b></font>
<font color="#3465A4"> --></font> src/main.rs:44
<font color="#3465A4"><b> |</b></font>
<font color="#3465A4"><b> 44 |</b></font> Fun facets shalld cause some erroris.
<font color="#3465A4"><b> |</b></font><font color="#C4A000"><b> ^^^^^^</b></font>
<font color="#3465A4"><b> |</b></font><font color="#CC0000"><b> - </b></font><font color="#4E9A06"><b>shall</b></font> or <font color="#4E9A06">shall d</font>
<font color="#3465A4"><b> |</b></font>
</pre>
### Apply Suggestions Interactively
```zsh
cargo spellcheck fix
```
<pre><font color="#CC0000"><b>error</b></font><font color="#D3D7CF"><b>: spellcheck(Hunspell)</b></font>
<font color="#3465A4"> --></font> /media/supersonic1t/projects/cargo-spellcheck/src/literalset.rs:291
<font color="#3465A4"><b> |</b></font>
<font color="#3465A4"><b> 291 |</b></font> Returns literl within the Err variant if not adjacent
<font color="#3465A4"><b> |</b></font><font color="#C4A000"><b> ^^^^^^</b></font>
<font color="#729FCF"><b>(13/14) Apply this suggestion [y,n,q,a,d,j,e,?]?</b></font>
<span style="background-color:#2E3436"><font color="#729FCF">lite</font></span>
<span style="background-color:#2E3436"><font color="#729FCF">litter</font></span>

<span style="background-color:#2E3436"><font color="#729FCF">liters</font></span>
<span style="background-color:#2E3436"><font color="#729FCF">literal</font></span>
<span style="background-color:#2E3436"><font color="#729FCF">liter</font></span>
<font color="#8AE234"><b>ยป</b></font> <span style="background-color:#2E3436"><font color="#FCE94F">a custom replacement literal</font></span>
</pre>
### Continuous Integration / CI
`cargo spellcheck` can be configured with `-m <code>` to return a non-zero return code if
mistakes are found instead of `0`.

`hunspell` and `languagetool` are currently the two supported featuresets.
## Configuration
```toml
# Project settings where a Cargo.toml exists and is passed
# ${CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR}/.config/spellcheck.toml
# Fallback to per use configuration files:
# Linux: /home/alice/.config/cargo_spellcheck/config.toml
# Windows: C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\cargo_spellcheck\config.toml
# macOS: /Users/Alice/Library/Preferences/cargo_spellcheck/config.toml
[LanguageTool]
url = "127.0.0.1:8010"
[Hunspell]
# lang and name of `.dic` file
lang = "en_US"
# OS specific additives
# Linux: [ /usr/share/myspell ]
# Windows: []
# macOS [ /home/alice/Libraries/hunspell, /Libraries/hunspell ]
# Additional search paths, which take presedence over the default
# os specific search dirs, searched in order, defaults last
# search_dirs = []
# Adds additional dictionaries, can be specified as
# absolute paths or relative in the search dirs (in this order).
# Relative paths are resolved relative to the configuration file
# which is used.
# Refer to `man 5 hunspell`
# or https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/4-hunspell/#lbAE
# on how to define a custom dictionary file.
extra_dictonaries = []
[Hunspell.quirks]
# Transforms words that are provided by the tokenizer
# into word fragments based on the capture groups which are to
# be checked.
# If no capture groups are present, the matched word is whitelisted.
transform_regex = ["^'([^\\s])'$", "^[0-9]+x$"]
# Accepts `alphabeta` variants if the checker provides a replacement suggestion
# of `alpha-beta`.
allow_concatenation = true
# And the counterpart, which accepts words with dashes, when the suggestion has
# recommendations without the dashes. This is less common.
allow_dashed = false
```
To increase verbosity add `-v` (multiple) to increase verbosity.
## Installation
`cargo install cargo-spellcheck`
### Checkers
Available checker support
#### Hunspell
Requires a C++ compiler to compile the hunspell CXX source files which are part of `hunspell-sys`
##### Fedora 30+
```sh
dnf install -y clang
```
##### Ubuntu 19.10+
```sh
apt install -y clang
```
##### Mac OS X
```
brew install llvm
```
The environment variable `LLVM_CONFIG_PATH` needs to point to `llvm-config`, to do so:
```sh
export LLVM_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/llvm-config
```
#### LanguageTool
Run an instance of the [LanguageTool server i.e. as container](https://hub.docker.com/r/erikvl87/languagetool).
