Spellcheck microservice

GitHub tag (latest SemVer) Docker Pulls codecov Ruff Code style: black Imports: isort Mypy checked

This is a microservice designed to check the spelling of words. Based on pyenchant. Exposes a REST API.
Current available languages are: ru_RU, en_US, es_ES, fr_FR, de_DE, pt_PT.
It runs blazingly fast due to the use of pychant in its kernel, LRU cache usage and pypy.
Also it supports feature called «user dictionaries» — user can add his own word-exceptions to personal dictionary.

Quickstart

Configuration

Config options

You can change config of the service by changing the environment variables. Here is a list of them:

  • SPELLCHECK_STRUCTURED_LOGGING enables structured (json) logging. Default value is True.
  • SPELLCHECK_WORKERS define application server workers count. If you plan to use k8s and only scale with replica sets, you might want to reduce this value to 1. Default value is 8. Restrictions: Gt(gt=0), Lt(lt=301)
  • SPELLCHECK_PORT binding port. Default value is 10113. Restrictions: Gt(gt=1023), Lt(lt=65536)

Development

Quickstart

  • Clone this repo
  • For MacOS X brew install enchant
  • poetry install
  • poetry shell
  • Run touch .git/hooks/pre-commit && chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
  • Paste following contents in file .git/hooks/pre-commit:
    poetry run make update-readme
    git add README.md
  • Execute make command to run local development server

Notes

Default api-key for local development is debug (you will need this to work with user dictionaries API).

Please check ./Makefile for more details

Troubleshooting

For MacOS X on Apple Silicon add PYENCHANT_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/libenchant-2.dylib to your .zprofile
