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 16+), install with npm:

npm install retext-repeated-words

In Deno with esm.sh:

import retextRepeatedWords from 'https://esm.sh/retext-repeated-words@5'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import retextRepeatedWords from 'https://esm.sh/retext-repeated-words@5?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 contains:

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))

…then running node example.js yields:

example.txt
1:7-1:12  warning Unexpected repeated `it`, remove one occurrence  it  retext-repeated-words
1:26-1:31 warning Unexpected repeated `to`, remove one occurrence  to  retext-repeated-words
1:51-2:4  warning Unexpected repeated `the`, remove one occurrence the retext-repeated-words

Check for repeated words.

There are no parameters.

Transform (Transformer).

Notes

• Doesn’t warn for certain 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…)

Messages

Each message is emitted as a VFileMessage on file, with source set to 'retext-repeated-words', ruleId to the normalized word, actual to both words, and expected to suggestions.

Types

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

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, retext-repeated-words@^5, compatible with Node.js 16.
