**CSpell configuration for @envsa/shared-config.**

<!-- /description -->

## Overview

It's a shared [CSpell](https://cspell.org) config, plus a command-line tool `envsa-cspell` to perform CSpell-related project initialization and linting. Note that automated fixes are handled via an ESLint integration provided in [@envsa/eslint-config](https://github.com/envsa/shared-config/tree/main/packages/eslint-config).

<!-- recommendation -->

> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> **You can use this package on its own, but it's recommended to use [`@envsa/shared-config`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@envsa/shared-config) instead for a single-dependency and single-package approach to linting and fixing your project.**
>
> This package is included as a dependency in [`@envsa/shared-config`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@envsa/shared-config), which also automatically invokes the command line functionality in this package via its `envsa` command

<!-- /recommendation -->

## Setup

To use just this CSpell config in isolation:

1. Install the `.npmrc` in your project root. This is required for correct PNPM behavior:

   ```sh
   pnpm dlx @envsa/repo-config init
   ```

2. Add the package:

   ```sh
   pnpm add -D @envsa/cspell-config
   ```

3. Add the starter `.cspell.json` file to your project root, and add any customizations you'd like:

   ```sh
   pnpm exec envsa-cspell init
   ```

## Usage

The CSpell binary should be picked up automatically by VS Code plugins.

You can call it directly, or use the script bundled with the config.

Integrate with your `package.json` scripts as you see fit, for example:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "spellcheck": "envsa-cspell lint"
  }
}
```

### Configuration

To create a `cspell.config.js` in your project root:

```sh
pnpm exec envsa-cspell init
```

(Note that this will delete the `cspell` property in your `package.json`!)

_Or_

To create a `cspell` property in `package.json`:

```sh
pnpm exec envsa-cspell init --location package
```

(Note that this will delete the `cspell.config.js` file in your project root!)

#### Disabling bundled dictionaries

In additional to CSpell's default dictionary configuration, this shared configuration enables a number of dictionaries that ship with CSpell for all file types:

- [`lorem-ipsum`](https://github.com/streetsidesoftware/cspell-dicts/blob/main/dictionaries/lorem-ipsum/dict/lorem.txt)
- [`git`](https://github.com/streetsidesoftware/cspell-dicts/blob/main/dictionaries/git/cspell-ext.json)
- [`npm`](https://github.com/streetsidesoftware/cspell-dicts/blob/main/dictionaries/npm/dict/npm.txt)
- [`fullstack`](https://github.com/streetsidesoftware/cspell-dicts/blob/main/dictionaries/fullstack/dict/fullstack.txt)
- [`software-terms`](https://github.com/streetsidesoftware/cspell-dicts/blob/main/dictionaries/software-terms/cspell.config.yaml)

It also includes a number of _custom_ dictionaries distributed with this package, all of which are enabled by default:

- `envsa-acronyms` Contains acronyms
- `envsa-files` Contains file extensions and types
- `envsa-misc` Contains words that are not acronyms or file extensions/types

In your project's root `cspell.config.js`, you can disable any combination of these dictionaries by adding them to the `dictionaries` array with a `!` prefix.

For example, do disable the `envsa-acronyms` and `envsa-misc` dictionaries:

```js
import { cspellConfig } from '@envsa/cspell-config';

export default cspellConfig({
  dictionaries: [
    '!envsa-acronyms',
    '!envsa-misc',
    // ...Additional !-prefixed dicitonary names
  ],
});
```

#### Adding project-scoped words

In your project's root `cspell.config.js`:

```js
import { cspellConfig } from '@envsa/cspell-config';

export default cspellConfig({
  words: [
    'mountweazel',
    'steinlaus',
    'jungftak',
    'esquivalience',
    // ...Additional words
  ],
});
```

## Notes

This config includes a bunch of words I've happened to have needed to use. Your preferences will vary.

CSpell is configured to automatically ignore files and paths in `.gitignore` (via `"useGitignore": true`), and to ignore words inside of ` ``` ` code fences in markdown and mdx files.

As part of the `lint` command process, `@envsa/cspell-config` also runs a check to identify any words in your config file's `"words"` array that _do not_ actually appear anywhere else in your project. This was inspired by [Zamiell's](https://github.com/Zamiell) [cspell-check-unused-words](https://github.com/complete-ts/cspell-check-unused-words) project.
