Add spell check about paper-for-mac HOT 5 CLOSED

Oops, sounds like I forget to do my homework 😓

I don't have time for a step-by-step post, so to do it simple you need to add the electron-spell-check-provider package to your project.

This is a basic but decent spellcheck provider. I would like to test electron-spellchecker who seems more complete, but I don't have time now.

Anyway, the BIG issue that is not documented is that you need to rebuild electron's dependencies.

So you must use electron-rebuild and add the next script to your task runner and execute it after every package install/update.

var pathToElectron  = require('electron-prebuilt')

var electronVersion = childProcess.execSync(`${pathToElectron} --version`, {
  encoding: 'utf8',
})

return electronRebuild.default( path.join( __dirname, 'app'), electronVersion)
  .then(() => console.info('Rebuild Successful'))
  .catch((e) =>
  {
    console.error("Building modules didn't work!")
    console.error(e)
  })

Then "c'est dans la poche", simply copy/adapt this snippet and it should works. 🙂

Tell me if it's ok or if you have any questions

Not sure if that's possible (e.g. via their API), but Grammarly language check would be really cool as well. No clue if that's technically possible, though.

It should be possible to depend on the native system spellchecking no?

Does Electron provide an API for this?

Electron doesn't provide an API for the native spellchecking yet.
@michael-lefebvre is supposed to post a blog post soon about this.

Thanks @michael-lefebvre!
I decided to go with electron-spellchecker since it was really quick to implement and didn't require to rebuild electron.
