`spech -l ru-RU -l en-US` - for multilingual documents

### String and STDIN checking

`cat README.md | spech`

`spech --input 'Check the text'`

### Directives

```

## Providers

To configure a provider pass `-p` flag:

`spech -p hunspell -p yandex`

Other options can be set in a config file.

### Hunspell

Hunspell is the most popular open-source spell checker which supports a great
variety of languages.

[Read more](docs/providers/hunspell.md).

### GrammarBot

Free grammar checking API. With an API key, you can receive 250 requests/day
(~7500/mo) at no cost. Without an API key, requests are limited to 100 per
day per IP address (~3000/mo). The API supports only English (en-US and en-GB).

[Read more](docs/providers/grammarBot.md).

### Yandex Speller

Free and very fast spell checker API for en, ru and uk languages. It provides
free 10k requests/day or 10m characters/day.

[Read more](docs/providers/yandex.md).

## [Configuring](docs/config.md)

Configuration can be stored in:

- spech.config.js
- "spech" section of the package.json

spech.config.js

```js
module.exports = {
languages: ['en-us'],
providers: [
{ name: 'hunspell' },
{ name: 'grammarBot', apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' },
],
};
```

[More details](docs/config.md).

### Dictionaries
It's possible to add words which are marked as a mistake into a dictionary file.
Just create a file with .dic extension in your project root:

mydictionary.dic
```
# Simple word
browserify
# Regexp
/Component.tsx?/
```

[More details](docs/config.md#dictionaries-string--string).

## API Usage

The most useful parts of the library are available through facade class
[SpellChecker](src/SpellChecker.js).

Here is a simple example how it can be used:

```js
const { Config, SpellChecker } = require('spech');

async function getMistakes() {
const config = new Config({ ignoreCase: false });
const checker = new SpellChecker(config);

await checker.addDocumentsByMask(process.cwd(), 'docs/*.md');
checker.addDictionaryPhrase('exceptionphrase');
checker.addProviderByConfig({ name: 'hunspell' });

const noMistakes = await checker.checkDocuments();
if (noMistakes) {
return [];
}

const corrections = checker.documents.map(doc => doc.corrections).flat();
return corrections.map(correction => correction.fragment);
}
```
