## RiTa: tools for computational writing
RiTa is implemented in JavaScript and Java, with a common [API](https://github.com/dhowe/rita4j/blob/master/README.md#api) for both, and is free/libre/open-source.
### Features in v3.0
* Smart lexicon search for words matching part-of-speech, syllable, stress and rhyme patterns
* Fast, heuristic algorithms for inflection, conjugation, stemming, tokenization, and more
* Letter-to-sound engine for feature analysis of arbitrary words (with/without lexicon)
* Integration of the [RiScript](https://observablehq.com/@dhowe/riscript) scripting language, designed for writers, now built with the blazing fast [Chevrotain](https://chevrotain.io/) parser
* New options for generation via grammars and Markov chains
* Published in ESM, CommonJS and as an IIFE
Note: version 3.0 contains breaking changes -- please check the [release notes](https://rednoise.org/rita/#whats-new)
### Installation
* For [esm](#an-esm-browser-sketch): ```import { RiTa } from "https://esm.sh/rita";```
* For [node](#with-nodejs-and-npm): `$ npm install rita`
```let { RiTa } = require('rita');```
* For [browsers](#a-simple-browser-sketch): ```<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rita"></script>```
* For [p5.js](#with-p5js): ```<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rita"></script>```
* For [developers](#developing)
### Example
```javascript
import { RiTa } from "https://esm.sh/rita";
// to analyze a sentence
let data = RiTa.analyze("The elephant took a bite!");
console.log(data);
// to load a grammar
let grammar = RiTa.grammar(rulesObjectOrJSON);
console.log(grammar.expand());
```

## RiScript
[RiScript](https://github.com/dhowe/riscript) (the minor language that powers RiTa) was designed specifically for writers working with code. RiScript primitives (choices, symbols, gates, transforms, etc) can be used as part of any RiTa [grammar](https://rednoise.org/rita/reference/RiTa/grammar/) or executed directly using [RiTa.evaluate](https://rednoise.org/rita/reference/RiTa/evaluate/). For more info, see this interactive [notebook](https://observablehq.com/@dhowe/riscript) on observable.
<br> <br>
## Developing
To install/build the library and run tests (with npm/mocha and node v14.x):
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/dhowe/ritajs.git
$ cd ritajs
$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ npm test
```
If all goes well, you should see a list of successful tests and find the library built in 'dist'
<br>
Please make contributions via [fork-and-pull](https://reflectoring.io/github-fork-and-pull/) - thanks!

### Visual Studio Code
Once you have things running with npm/mocha/tsup, you might also try [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
Here you can see the tests in the VSCode _Testing_ view

## Quick Start
#### A simple browser sketch
Create a new file on your desktop called 'test.html' with the following lines, save and drag it into a browser:
```html
<html>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rita"></script>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
let words = RiTa.tokenize("The elephant took a bite!");
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = words;
};
</script>
<div id="content" width=200 height=200></div>
<html>
```
#### An ESM browser sketch
Create a new file on your desktop called 'test.html' with the following lines, save and drag it into a browser:
```html
<html>
<body>
<div id="content" width=200 height=200></div>
<script type="module">
import { RiTa } from "https://esm.sh/rita";
let words = RiTa.tokenize("The elephant took a bite!");
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = words;
</script>
</body>
<html>
```
#### With [p5.js](http://p5js.org/)
Create a new file on your desktop called 'test.html' with the following lines, save and drag it into a browser:
```html
<html>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rita"></script>
<script>
function setup() {
createCanvas(200,200);
background(245);
textAlign(CENTER);
textSize(20);
let words = RiTa.tokenize("The elephant took a bite!")
for (let i=0; i < words.length; i++) {
text(words[i], 100, 50 + i*20);
}
}
</script>
</html>
```
If you already have a sketch, simply add `<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rita"></script>` to your index.html to include RiTa.
#### With [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
To install: `$ npm install rita`
```javascript
let RiTa = require('rita');
let data = RiTa.analyze("The elephant took a bite!");
console.log(data);
```
