Description of changes

Hi I created this because I need it for a project and thought so you can extend the whole thing with a language. 😊

I also had to create a german-parser for it which I also just adapted from yours. I would also like to give you the repository if you want. you can find it here: https://github.com/nyxb/parse-german. It takes into account the german spelling as well as umlauts etc.

🔧 chore(retext-german): add .npmrc and tsconfig.json for package configuration

📝 docs(retext-german): add readme.md for package documentation

🎉 init(retext-german): create index.js and lib/index.js for initial package setup

🔧 chore(retext-german): add package.json for package metadata and dependencies

Strange that the node tests do not run I do not have these errors locally.

i only see this one:

yarn run v1.22.19
$ npm run build && npm run format && npm run test-coverage

> build
> tsc --build --clean && tsc --build && type-coverage

test.js:135:14 - error TS2367: This comparison appears to be unintentional because the types '"SourceNode" | "WhiteSpaceNode" | "SymbolNode" | "PunctuationNode" | "WordNode"' and '"EmoticonNode"' have no overlap.

135       assert(emoji.type === 'EmoticonNode')
                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Dennis, thanks for your work and your patience!

I would also like to give you the repository if you want.

No, thank you. Seems like extra work that I cannot do (I am not a native german speakers), with no benefit: it’s open source, anyone can maintain anything.

It looks like you copy/pasted a folder in there. That’s a good start, but doesn’t make everything workable.
You need to add it as a workspace in the root package.json:

retext/package.json

Line 12 in 0d7c168

"workspaces": [

.
Then you run npm install and npm test and such from there.

You are also currently getting type errors. I assume because index.d.ts is not published in parse-german. Can you also at least publish a 0.1.0 there? That way, semver can work. At 0.0.1 semver does not work.

For your new package retext-german here, you can start with 0.0.0. I will do the publishing and update the versions for you.

Particularly the npm test I mentioned earlier is important to run: that formats everything. Looking at the readme, it’s not formatted according to this project’s style.

As for your error here: you are using yarn. Don’t use yarn, we use npm. From the root of the project run npm install and then npm test and such.

Ok will do it

Thanks for the PR. Closing for now as this cannot land currently and there seems to be no activity.

I recommend just publishing and maintaining this yourself! I don’t need to do all the work. It’s open source. Others can do work too!
