davidhund/retext-assuming: Check for unhelpful ‘assuming’ phrases such as ‘just’, ‘simply’ or ‘obviously’ with retext

Check for unhelpful ‘assuming’ phrases such as 'just', 'simply' or 'obviously' with retext.

Using these phrases in documentation is unhelpful: “simple” is relative to a users’ knowledge and experience. Often it is fine to leave the phrase out completely:

Avoid:

“Simply run the tests. Just type npm test…”

But use:

“To run the tests type npm test…”

This plugin is based on the excellent retext (plugins) by Wooorm. Not much of this code is original and it probably could be much improved. PR's welcome 🚀

Install through npm:

npm install retext-assuming

Say we have the following file, example.txt:

You can just import an ES6 module.
Everything is simply Javascript.
Obviously you would need NodeJS > 8.
Actually, it's quite easy to use.

And our script, example.js, looks as follows:

var vfile = require('to-vfile');
var report = require('vfile-reporter');
var retext = require('retext');
var dontAssume = require('retext-assuming');

retext()
  .use(dontAssume)
  .process(vfile.readSync('example.txt'), function (err, file) {
    console.error(report(err || file));
  });

Should result in:

example.txt
