textlint-rule-terminology

textlint-rule-terminology

textlint rule to check and fix term spelling in your tech writing.

For example:

• Javascript → JavaScript
• NPM → npm
• front-end → frontend
• website → site
• Internet → internet

(You can customize the rules as you wish.)

Installation

npm install textlint-rule-terminology

Usage

textlint --fix --rule terminology Readme.md

Configuration

By default the rule will check against my personal terminology. You can change it in your .textlintrc:

{
  "rules": {
    "terminology": {
      // Load default terms (see terms.json in the repository)
      "defaultTerms": true,
      // Syntax elements to skip. Overrides the default
      "skip": ["Blockquote"],
      // List of terms
      "terms": [
        // Exact spelling including the case
        "JavaScript",
        "ESLint",
        "Sass",
        "Less",
        "npm",
        // RegExp (case-insensitive) → replacement
        ["front[- ]end(\\w*)", "frontend$1"],
        ["back[- ]end(\\w*)", "backend$1"],
        ["web[- ]?site(s?)", "site$1"],
        ["hot[- ]key", "hotkey"],
        ["repo\\b", "repository"],
        ["CLI tool(s?)", "command line tool$1"],
        ["build system(s?)", "build tool$1"],
        ["id['’]?s", "IDs"],
        ["(\\w+[^.?!]\\)? )webpack", "$1webpack"],
        ["(\\w+[^.?!]\\)? )internet", "$internet"]
      ],
      // OR load terms from a file
      "terms": "~/terms.json",
      // OR load terms from npm
      "terms": "@johnsmith/terms"
    }
  }
}
