---

retext implementation of the Porter stemming algorithm.

Installation

NPM:

$ npm install retext-porter-stemmer

Component.js:

$ component install wooorm/retext-porter-stemmer

Usage

var Retext = require('retext'),
    visit = require('retext-visit'),
    stemmer = require('retext-porter-stemmer');

var root = new Retext()
    .use(visit)
    .use(stemmer)
    .parse('A simple english sentence.');

root.visitType(root.WORD_NODE, function (node) {
    console.log(node.toString(), node.data.stem);
});
// 'A', 'A'
// 'simple', 'simpl'
// 'english', 'english'
// 'sentence', 'sentenc'

This example also uses retext-visit.

API

None, the plugin automatically stems each word when its created or changed, and stores the stem in wordNode.data.stem.
