Best way to reference a company wide shared dictionary file, multiple repos

[jamesmilanhiggins]

Hi.
I am wondering what the best way to maintain and use a company wide shared dictionary, across multiple repos. We have a team with multiple devs that all work on multiple repos, and we would like to have 1 common/shared dictionary file that we can maintain that we all reference with our spell check plugins.

This is a good question.

Using a company repository

Example dictionary package: cspell-dicts medical terms. Note, you do not need to compress the dictionary or use the cspell-tools to compile the dictionary, that is only needed for a large dictionary. A dictionary file is just a text file with 1 term per line. It is case sensitive. It does not need to be sorted.

Here is an example cspell.json file that the cspell cli uses to load dictionaries: cspell/cspell-default.json

This approach works well if you are using cspell as part of your CI/CD process.
