Crystal bindings for Hunspell. Crystal port of the Ruby ffi-hunspell gem and should be API compatible.

Installation

1. Install libhunspell

   • Debian / Ubuntu:

     $ sudo apt install libhunspell-dev hunspell-en-us
     

   • RedHat / Fedora:

     $ sudo dnf install hunspell-devel hunspell-en
     

   • macOS:

     $ brew install hunspell
     

2. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     hunspell:
       github: your-github-user/hunspell.cr
   

3. Run shards install

Examples

Open a dictionary:

require "hunspell"
    
Hunspell.dict do |dict|
  # ...
end

Hunspell.dict("en_GB") do |dict|
  # ...
end

dict = Hunspell.dict("en_GB")
# ...
dict.close

Check if a word is valid:

dict.check?("dog")
# => true

dict.check?("d0g")
# => false

Find the stems of a word:

dict.stem("dogs")
# => ["dog"]

Suggest alternate spellings for a word:

dict.suggest("arbitrage")
# => ["arbitrage", "arbitrages", "arbitrager", "arbitraged", "arbitrate"]

Development

After installing libhunspell (see Installation):

$ shards install
$ crystal spec
