| 1 | +# Spelling Check Scripts |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This directory contains a script to run cspell (Code Spell Checker) on the repository using the dependencies defined in the adjacent `package*.json` files. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Adding Legitimate Words |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +If the spell checker flags legitimate words as misspelled, you can add them to the dictionary configuration file located at `.vscode/cspell.json`. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### Where to Add Words |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +There are two main places to add legitimate words. Maintain alphabetical order when adding words to keep the dictionary organized: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +1. **Root-level words array**: Add words to the `"words"` array at the root level of the configuration file. This is the preferred location for project-specific terms, technical vocabulary, and commonly used words. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +2. **Baseline dictionary**: Add words to the `"baseline"` dictionary under `"dictionaryDefinitions"`. This is typically used for words that were already present in the codebase when the spell checker was first introduced. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Example |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +To add new words, edit `.vscode/cspell.json` and add them to the `"words"` array: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +```json |
| 23 | +{ |
| 24 | + "words": [ |
| 25 | + "myprojectname", |
| 26 | + "customterm", |
| 27 | + "technicalword" |
| 28 | + ] |
| 29 | +} |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### Guidelines |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- Use lowercase for words |
| 35 | +- Consider whether the word is truly legitimate or if it might be a typo |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Available Scripts |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### PowerShell Version (Windows) |
| 40 | +- **File**: `Invoke-Cspell.ps1` |
| 41 | +- **Usage**: For Windows PowerShell environments |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Usage Examples |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +```powershell |
| 46 | +# Check all files (default) |
| 47 | +./eng/common/spelling/Invoke-Cspell.ps1 |
| 48 | +
|
| 49 | +# Check specific files |
| 50 | +./eng/common/spelling/Invoke-Cspell.ps1 -ScanGlobs 'sdk/*/*/PublicAPI/**/*.md' |
| 51 | +
|
| 52 | +# Check multiple globs (powershell invocation only) |
| 53 | +./eng/common/spelling/Invoke-Cspell.ps1 -ScanGlobs @('sdk/storage/**', 'sdk/keyvault/**') |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | +# Check single file |
| 56 | +./eng/common/spelling/Invoke-Cspell.ps1 -ScanGlobs './README.md' |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +## Parameters |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +- **Job Type**: The cspell command to run (default: `lint`) |
| 62 | +- **Scan Globs**: File patterns to check for spelling |
| 63 | +- **Config Path**: Location of the cspell.json configuration file |
| 64 | +- **Spell Check Root**: Root directory for relative paths |
| 65 | +- **Package Cache**: Working directory for npm dependencies |
| 66 | +- **Leave Cache**: Option to preserve the npm package cache |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +## Requirements |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +- Node.js and npm must be installed |
| 71 | +- The `.vscode/cspell.json` configuration file must exist |
| 72 | +- `jq` command-line JSON processor (for bash version) |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +## How It Works |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +1. Creates a temporary working directory for npm packages |
| 77 | +2. Copies `package.json` and `package-lock.json` to the working directory |
| 78 | +3. Installs npm dependencies using `npm ci` |
| 79 | +4. Modifies the cspell configuration to include specified file globs |
| 80 | +5. Runs cspell with the modified configuration |
| 81 | +6. Restores the original configuration |
| 82 | +7. Cleans up temporary files |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +The scripts ensure that a LICENSE file (or temporary file) is always included in the scan to meet cspell's requirements for the "files" array. |
