Simple code is not running

[adsonvinicius]

I'm trying this package but the console message is never shown

const nspell = require('nspell')
const dictionaryPt = require('dictionary-pt')

function testSpell(txt){
    dictionaryPt((error, pt) => {
        if (error) throw error
        var spell = nspell(pt)
        console.log(spell.suggest(txt))
      })
}

testSpell("Maquina")

dictionary-pt: "^3.1.0",
nspell: "^2.1.5"

I checked the programs stucks at var spell = nspell(pt) line. Any idea what's wrong?

Portuguese might be one of those languages with tens/hundreds of millions of valid words (according to the dictionary anyway), maybe nspell is stuck at processing those 🤔 It'd be useful to profile this

Has anyone has used portuguese dicitonary on nspell?

For people looking at this, keep in mind that this repo was last updated 8 months ago in November 2022.
It might be because fs.readFile isn't working from within node_modules in the browser.
I got it working by manually copying the index.aff and index.dic file and using the following js:

load();
async function load() {
  const aff = await fetch("./index.aff").then((response) => {
    return response.text();
  });
  const dic = await fetch("./index.dic").then((response) => {
    return response.text();
  });
  const spell = nspell(aff, dic);
  console.log(spell.suggest("teh"));
}

which outputs the following in the console:

[
  "ten",
  "eh",
  "meh",
  "tea",
  "tech",
  "ted",
  "tee",
  "tel",
  "the",
  "NEH",
  "Te",
  "Tet",
  "Tex",
  "Th"
]

Highly unlikely to be related to this project, but related to nspell or the folks making the portuguese dictionary.
