Requirements
- Ruby 1.9.3 or newer
- Aspell
- Aspell language packs for your used language(s)
For running the tests the following language packs are required:
- Dutch:
aspell-nl
- English:
aspell-en
- Greek:

Aspell can be installed as following:
- Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S aspell
- Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install aspell libaspell-dev
- OS X:
brew install aspell --with-lang-en --with-lang-el --with-lang-nl
- If you have homebrew installed to somewhere other than
/usr/local
(such as/opt/boxen/homebrew
for Boxen users), you may have to simlink the library file like so:
- If you have homebrew installed to somewhere other than
sudo ln -s $(brew --prefix)/lib/libaspell.dylib /usr/local/lib/libaspell.dylib
Usage
Install the gem:
gem install ffi-aspell
Load it:
require 'ffi/aspell'
The primary class is FFI::Aspell::Speller
, this class can be used to check for
spelling errors and the likes:
speller = FFI::Aspell::Speller.new('en_US')
if speller.correct?('cookie')
puts 'The word "cookie" is correct'
else
puts 'The word "cookie" is incorrect'
end
speller.close
You can use Speller.open
to avoid having to call #close
explicitly:
FFI::Aspell::Speller.open('en_US') do |speller|
puts speller.correct?('cookie')
end
