Elixir bindings for the Enchant spellchecker

The package can be installed by adding enchant to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:enchant, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

The docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/enchant.

Enchant is used to check the spelling of words and suggest corrections for words that are miss-spelled. It can use many popular spellchecking packages to perform this task, including ispell, aspell and MySpell. It is quite flexible at handling multiple dictionaries and multiple languages. More information is available on the Enchant website

This package uses the excellent rustler package to bundle safely a NIF inside Elixir. All the logix is handled by Rust since there was already a crate enchant with the bindings.

So we have the simple Elixir module Enchant that implements Ruslter contract to talk to the compiled rust code enchant-elixir. The local crate pulls in the enchant crate that gives access to the binding exposed in libenchant

Only check/2 is exposed. All the dictionnary and broker from libenchant are not exposed because I do not need them right now.

iex> Enchant.check("Enchanté, je vous présente ma librairie", "fr_CA")
{:ok,
 [
   %Enchant.Word{correct: true, suggestions: [], word: "Enchanté"},
   %Enchant.Word{correct: true, suggestions: [], word: "je"},
   %Enchant.Word{correct: true, suggestions: [], word: "vous"},
   %Enchant.Word{correct: true, suggestions: [], word: "présente"},
   %Enchant.Word{correct: true, suggestions: [], word: "ma"},
   %Enchant.Word{correct: true, suggestions: [], word: "librairie"}
 ]}
iex> Enchant.check("Ci sono sette giorni in una setimana.", "it")
{:ok,
 [
   ...
   %Enchant.Word{
     correct: false,
     suggestions: ["settimana", "estimata", ...],
     word: "setimana"
   }
 ]}
