A simple source code spell checker for multiple programming languages.

For the readme on the plugin: README.

1. Build the server: cd server && npm install && npm run build && cd ..
2. Build the client: cd client && npm install && npm run build && cd ..
3. Launch vscode: code client
4. Run the extension from vscode: F5

1. Launch vscode: code client
2. Run the extension from vscode: F5

1. Launch vscode for the server: code server
2. Launch the client as specified above.
3. Attach to the server: F5 or Debug -> Attach Server

Sometimes the ports get stuck. You can see if they are being used with:

netstat -anp tcp | grep 60048

Use the following command to find the process id (PID):

lsof -i tcp:60048

If anything shows up, then the port is still locked.

Improvements to existing word lists and new word lists are welcome.

All dictionaries are being migrated to cspell-dicts. Some dictionaries are still located at cspell/dictionaries.

The simplest format is one word per line.

apple
banana
orange
grape
pineapple

For programming languages, a word list might look like this:

ZipArchive::addGlob
ZipArchive::addPattern
ZipArchive::close
ZipArchive::deleteIndex
ZipArchive::deleteName
ZipArchive::extractTo

The word list complier will convert camelCase and snake_case words into a simple word list. This is both for speed and predictability.

ZipArchive::deleteIndex

becomes:

zip
archive
delete
index

Spaces between words in the word list have a special meaning.

New Delhi
New York
Los Angeles

becomes in the compiled dictionary:

new delhi
new
delhi
new york
york
los angeles
los
angeles

Spaces in the compiled dictionary have a special meaning. They tell the suggestion algorithm to suggest: 'newYork', 'new_york', 'new york', etc. for 'newyork'.

The default language is English: "cSpell.language": "en"

cSpell currently has English locals: en-US and en-GB.

Example words differences: behaviour (en-GB) vs behavior (en-US)
