What is this?

This package is a unified (retext) plugin to check for repeated words. For example, like like this.

When should I use this?

You can opt-into this plugin when you’re dealing with content that might contain grammar mistakes, and have authors that can fix that content.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, 16.0+, or 18.0+), install with npm:

npm install retext-repeated-words

In Deno with esm.sh:

import retextRepeatedWords from 'https://esm.sh/retext-repeated-words@4'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import retextRepeatedWords from 'https://esm.sh/retext-repeated-words@4?bundle'
</script>

Use

Say our document example.txt contains:

Well, it it doesn’t have to to be. Like a fish in the
the sea.

…and our module example.js looks as follows:

import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import retextEnglish from 'retext-english'
import retextStringify from 'retext-stringify'
import retextRepeatedWords from 'retext-repeated-words'

const file = await unified()
  .use(retextEnglish)
  .use(retextRepeatedWords)
  .use(retextStringify)
  .process(await read('example.txt'))

console.error(reporter(file))

…now running node example.js yields:

example.txt
   1:7-1:12  warning  Expected `it` once, not twice   it   retext-repeated-words
  1:26-1:31  warning  Expected `to` once, not twice   to   retext-repeated-words
   1:51-2:4  warning  Expected `the` once, not twice  the  retext-repeated-words

⚠ 3 warnings

API

This package exports no identifiers. The default export is retextRepeatedWords.

unified().use(retextRepeatedWords)

Check for repeated words.

• doesn’t warn for some words which do occur twice (the best exhibition they had had since)
• doesn’t warn for initialisms (D. D. will pop up with…)
• doesn’t warn for capitalised words (Duran Duran…)

There are no options.

Messages

Each message is emitted as a VFileMessage on file, with the following fields:

message.source

Name of this plugin ('retext-repeated-words').

message.ruleId

Repeated word (normalized) (string, such as the).

message.actual

Current not ok phrase (string).

message.expected

List of suggestions (Array<string>, such as ['the']).

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 14.14+, 16.0+, and 18.0+. Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
