retext plugin to classify @mentions as syntax instead of natural language.

Contents

What is this?

This package is a unified (retext) plugin to classify mentions (as used on for example GitHub) as SourceNode instead of natural language. That node represent “external (ungrammatical) values” instead of natural language, which hides mentions from retext-spell, retext-readability, retext-equality, and other things that check words.

When should I use this?

You can use this plugin any time there are mentions in prose, that are (incorrectly) warned about by linting plugins.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install retext-syntax-mentions

In Deno with esm.sh:

import retextSyntaxMentions from 'https://esm.sh/retext-syntax-mentions@4'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import retextSyntaxMentions from 'https://esm.sh/retext-syntax-mentions@4?bundle'
</script>

Use

Without retext-syntax-mentions:

import dictionaryEn from 'dictionary-en'
import retextEnglish from 'retext-english'
import retextSpell from 'retext-spell'
import retextStringify from 'retext-stringify'
import retextSyntaxMentions from 'retext-syntax-mentions'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await unified()
  .use(retextEnglish)
  .use(retextSpell, dictionaryEn)
  .use(retextStringify)
  .process('Misspelled? @wooorm.')

console.log(reporter(file))

Yields:

1:14-1:20 warning `wooorm` is misspelt; did you mean `worm`? wooorm retext-spell

⚠ 1 warning

With retext-syntax-mentions:

   .use(retextEnglish)
+  .use(retextSyntaxMentions)
   .use(retextSpell, dictionaryEn)

Yields:

no issues found

API

Fields

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional type Options.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, retext-syntax-mentions@^4, compatible with Node.js 16.
