Spell checking for Strings [message #551406]

Hello,
I'ld like to enable spell checking in my dsl for some Elements, like Strings. I think about two possible ways.

1. Writing a cusom reconciler, which enable spell checking and delegates to the XtextReconciler. In this approach I've to access the parsed model, to see the elements at the changed positions.

2. Write a custom Validator which calls the spell checker, for the Strings of one element. Because the spell checking result is neither a error nor a warning or an information, but an additional type of marker, I need a way to get the annotationModel in the validator.

Is there a third, better way, for doing this?

Regards,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

I'ld try to collect the regions of all strings and comments, that should
be checked, in the validator. Use SpellingService#check() with a mocked
document that supports the minimal required methods (like
getLegalLineDelimiters and get(offset, length)) and a
ISpellingProblemCollector that transforms the spelling problems into
warnings.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hello,
thanks for the recommendation. I tried to implement a JavaCheck for this scenario, but the SpellingService is inside the ui packages and needs the viewer.

I took the first approach and extended the xtextReconciler to set the document for the spellingReconciler. I modified the SpellingProblemCollector and took the Range from the Terminals in the ParseResult to check only user modifiable text.

Hi Benjamin,

you are free to extend the java validator in the ui package although it
would not check the spelling in the standalone scenario.

Sebastian

Do you mind to share your implementation? I'm facing the same issue here with Xtext 2.1 and I'm struggling trying to replicate your solution. Some code will probably help.

Thanks
