About

This middleware highlights spelling errors in your web pages. It’s great for catching those silly typos before they reach the customer.

Usage

You need to install the ispell binary. On Mac OS X you can install it like so:

sudo port install ispell

Then you need to install the ispell Ruby gem:

sudo gem install ispell

Then you use the middleware as expected:

use Rack::SpellCheck

Or if you are in Rails, it would look like this (in the config/environment.rb file):

config.middleware.use Rack::SpellCheck

You can also specify words to ignore:

config.middleware.use Rack::SpellCheck, :ignore => ["CodeRack"]

Note: if this middleware doesn't work, make sure the PATH environment variable allows Rack::SpellCheck to find the ispell binary file.
