Contributing to Lunr Languages

I found a bug

Thanks! Go to the Issues section and open a new issue. Please try to provide a detailed example describing the expected and actual outcome.

I found a bug and have a fix for it

Even better! Open a Pull request. Make sure you include everything needed in the pull request (check below)

I want to add a new language

Wonderful! Here are the changes you need to do, then Open a Pull request. Make sure you include everything needed in the pull request (check below)

  • except Japanese, all the lunr.<language>.js files are built from build/lunr.template
    • If lunr.template fits your needs in terms of code/template, go to build/build.js and add your language
      • You need a stemmer file
      • You need a stop words file
    • If lunr.template does not fit your needs (for example for non-latin characters), just copy any lunr.<language>.js file and start modifying
  • you must also test your new language
    • go to test/testdata and create a new file, then link it to VersionsAndLanguagesTest.js
    • make sure you cover many testcases (wildcard, stemming)
    • your tests will automatically be run on all the Lunr versions
  • add the new language to README.md
  • re-build the files (check section below)
  • open a Pull request. Make sure you include everything needed in the pull request (check below)

Pull request check-list

  • Describe in detail what you did and why you did it
  • Add tests. The more the better
    • with at least 1 scenario in case of a bug-fix and 4 scenarios in case of a new language
  • Don't open a Pull request for more unrelated topics. (eg a bug-fix, a new language, and few changes to stemming for existing languages in a single pull request)

Building your own files

The lunr.<locale>.js files are the result of a build process that concatenates a stemmer and a stop word list and add functionality to become lunr.js-compatible. Should you decide to make mass-modifications (add stopwords, change stemming rules, reorganize the code) and build a new set of files, you should do follow these steps:

  • git clone --recursive git://github.com/MihaiValentin/lunr-languages.git (make sure you use the --recursive flag to also clone the repos needed to build lunr-languages)
  • cd path/to/lunr-languages
  • npm install to install the dependencies needed for building
  • change the build/*.template files
  • run node build/build.js to generate the lunr.<locale>.js files (and the minified versions as well) and the lunr.stemmer.support.js file
