# nlprule-build
This crate provides a builder to make it easier to use the correct binaries for [nlprule](https://github.com/bminixhofer/nlprule). It also provides:
1. Utility functions to download the binaries from their distribution source.
2. Scripts to create the nlprule build directories.
## Development
If you are using a development version of nlprule, the builder can build the binaries itself (instead of just fetching them):
```rust
let nlprule_builder = nlprule_build::BinaryBuilder::new(
&["en"],
std::env::var("OUT_DIR").expect("OUT_DIR is set when build.rs is running"),
)
// this specifies that the binaries should be built if they are not found
.fallback_to_build_dir(true)
.build()
.validate();
```
In that case, you should set
```toml
[profile.dev]
build-override = { opt-level = 2 }
```
in your `Cargo.toml`. Building can be slow otherwise.
The following has information how to acquire the nlpruile build directories and how to build and test the nlprule binaries. As a user you will typically not need to do this.
### Building and testing the nlprule binaries
Building the nlprule binaries requires the *build directory* for the corresponding language. The latest build directories are stored on Backblaze B2. Download them from https://f000.backblazeb2.com/file/nlprule/en.zip (adjusting the two-letter language code accordingly for other languages).
See [Making the build directory](#making-the-build-directory) for information on how to create a
build directory yourself.
The binaries can then be built with the `compile` target e. g.:
```
RUST_LOG=INFO cargo run --all-features --bin compile -- \
--build-dir data/en \
--tokenizer-out storage/en_tokenizer.bin \
--rules-out storage/en_rules.bin
```
This is expected to warn about errors in the `Rules` since not all grammar rules are supported but should *not* report any errors in the `Tokenizer`.
Tests are contained in the binaries. To test the tokenizer binary, run e. g.:
```
RUST_LOG=WARN cargo run --all-features --bin test_disambiguation -- --tokenizer storage/en_tokenizer.bin
```
To test the grammar rule binary, run e. g.:
```
RUST_LOG=WARN cargo run --all-features --bin test -- --tokenizer storage/en_tokenizer.bin --rules storage/en_rules.bin
```
### Making the build directory
nlprule needs *build files* to build the rule and tokenizer binaries. These build files contain e. g. the XML files for grammar and disambiguation rules, a dictionary with words and their associated part-of-speech tags / lemmas and some data used for optimizations. Collectively, they form the *build directory*. Each language has a separate build directory.
The build directory for a language can be generated with `make_build_dir.py`. Run `python make_build_dir.py --help` (or take a look at the source code) for more information.
Below are the commands used to make the build directories for nlprule's supported languages (of course, the paths need to be adjusted depending on your setup):
#### English
```bash
python build/make_build_dir.py \
--lt_dir=$LT_PATH \
--lang_code=en \
--tag_dict_path=$LT_PATH/org/languagetool/resource/en/english.dict \
--tag_info_path=$LT_PATH/org/languagetool/resource/en/english.info \
--chunker_token_model=$HOME/Downloads/nlprule/en-token.bin \
--chunker_pos_model=$HOME/Downloads/nlprule/en-pos-maxent.bin \
--chunker_chunk_model=$HOME/Downloads/nlprule/en-chunker.bin \
--out_dir=data/en
```
Chunker binaries can be downloaded from http://opennlp.sourceforge.net/models-1.5/.
#### German
```bash
python build/make_build_dir.py \
--lt_dir=$LT_PATH \
--lang_code=de \
--tag_dict_path=$HOME/Downloads/nlprule/german-pos-dict/src/main/resources/org/languagetool/resource/de/german.dict \
--tag_info_path=$HOME/Downloads/nlprule/german-pos-dict/src/main/resources/org/languagetool/resource/de/german.info \
--out_dir=data/de
```
The POS dict can be downloaded from https://github.com/languagetool-org/german-pos-dict.
#### Spanish
```bash
python build/make_build_dir.py \
--lt_dir=$LT_PATH \
--lang_code=es \
--tag_dict_path=$HOME/Downloads/nlprule/spanish-pos-dict/org/languagetool/resource/es/es-ES.dict \
--tag_info_path=$HOME/Downloads/nlprule/spanish-pos-dict/org/languagetool/resource/es/es-ES.info \
--out_dir=data/es
```
Note for Spanish: `disambiguation.xml` is currently manually postprocessed by removing an invalid `<marker>` in `POS_N` and changing one rule ([commit](https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/commit/9a304428341f34e347fc4bef2a4c7c6f03bf1403)). `grammar.xml` is manually postprocessed by fixing the match reference for `EN_TORNO`. These issues will be fixed in the next LanguageTool release.
The POS dict can be downloaded from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.softcatala/spanish-pos-dict (download the latest version and unzip the `.jar`).
