How to create a new dictionary

Please fork this repository to add new dictionaries.

Install Yarn

Installation | Yarn

Using Yeoman script

The Yeoman script can help you create the dictionary template files seen in most of dictionary directories.

Running the generator

In the cspell-dicts repository root.

yarn create-dictionary <name> <path/to/source/words>

Yeoman will ask you a series of questions:

Field Description
name this is the dictionary. i.e. en_AU or ruby
friendly name this is the friendly name, like Australian
description short description of the dictionary.
source file this is the source file to use to build the dictionary. It can be a .txt or hunspell .dic file. This file will be copied to the dictionary project.
local this is the two letter language code with an optional cultural code. a * mean it will match any language. More than one local can be added by separating them with a comma. i.e. en, en_AU.
languageId this is the VS Code programming language id or file type. * will match all file types. Examples: java, cpp, plaintext, markdown, ruby. Types know to cspell
store as trie for large source files (> 1MB) or hunspell files, this should be y. n will work for all programming language keyword files.
run build prepare the word list so it can be used by cspell efficiently. You can always run the build step yourself in the dictionary directory yarn run build.

Once all the questions have been answered, the dictionary directory will be created and the files will be copied.

Please update README.md and LICENSE files as necessary.

Testing Dictionaries

Smoke test

Linking

From the dictionary directory

cspell link add ./cspell-ext.json

This will add an entry in the cspell global config to import the cspell-ext.json file in the dictionary directory.

Use either VS Code or cspell to verify that files spell check correctly.

Verify with cspell
  • Install cspell: npm install -g cspell
  • Check the global links: cspell link list
  • Check a file: cspell check <path/to/source/file.ext> [--local=<locale>] [--language-id=<filetype>] Example: cspell check README.md --local=en,es -- to check the readme file assuming English and Spanish words.

Checking a file will show you what has been ignored (gray) as well as what is considered an error (red):

Clean up

Remember to unlink when you are done:

cspell link remove ./cspell-ext.json

npm Global Install

From the dictionary directory:

npm install -g

From NPM repository:

npm install -g @cspell/dict-<name>

Then run the link command found in the dictionary README.md file. It has the following pattern: cspell link add @cspell/dict-<name>. To unlink: cspell link remove @cspell/dict-<name>
