dictionary-isv

Interslavic spelling dictionary in UTF-8.

Generated by @orlean-git's Python package in this repository.

Install

npm:

npm install dictionary-isv

Use

The package exports multiple dictionaries:

• combined (the default one), which can check Interslavic texts written both in Latin and Cyrillic scripts:

  var dictionary = require('dictionary-isv');
  // or the aliased version:
  var dictionary = require('dictionary-isv/combined');
  

• etymological, not recommended for daily use, but useful for flavorizing texts to specific Slavic target languages and also for dictionary development:

  var dictionary = require('dictionary-isv/etymological');
  

• Latin-only, a lightweight and a faster alternative to the default combined dictionary which works only for Interslavic written in Latin script:

  var dictionary = require('dictionary-isv/latin');
  

• Cyrillic-only, a lightweight and a faster alternative to the default combined dictionary which works only for Interslavic written in Cyrillic script:

  var dictionary = require('dictionary-isv/cyrillic');
  

Every exported module is an asynchronous function with a callback, e.g.:

dictionary(function (err, result) {
  console.log(err || result)
  // -> {dic: <Buffer>, aff: <Buffer>}
});

where:

• dic is a Buffer for the dictionary file at index.dic (in UTF-8)
• aff is a Buffer for the affix file at index.aff (in UTF-8).

Also, you can directly load the files, using the respective IETF BCP 47 language codes:

var path = require('path')
var base = path.dirname(require.resolve('dictionary-isv'));

// combined:
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'dict/art-x-interslv.dic'), 'utf-8')
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'dict/art-x-interslv.aff'), 'utf-8')

// etymological:
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'dict/art-Latn-x-interslv-etymolog.dic'), 'utf-8')
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'dict/art-Latn-x-interslv-etymolog.aff'), 'utf-8')

// Latin:
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'dict/art-Latn-x-interslv.dic'), 'utf-8')
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'dict/art-Latn-x-interslv.aff'), 'utf-8')

// Cyrillic:
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'dict/art-Cyrl-x-interslv.dic'), 'utf-8')
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'dict/art-Cyrl-x-interslv.aff'), 'utf-8')
