# Define glob patterns to filter the files to be checked. Use a new line between patterns to define multiple patterns.
# The default is to check ALL files that were changed in in the pull_request or push.
# Note: `ignorePaths` defined in cspell.json still apply.
# Example:
# files: |
# **/*.{ts,js}
# !dist/**/*.{ts,js}
#
# Default: ALL files
files: ''
# Check files and directories starting with `.`.
# - "true" - glob searches will match against `.dot` files.
# - "false" - `.dot` files will NOT be checked.
# - "explicit" - glob patterns can match explicit `.dot` patterns.
check_dot_files: explicit
# The point in the directory tree to start spell checking.
# Default: .

# Notification level to use with inline reporting of spelling errors.
# Allowed values are: warning, error, none

# Determines if the action should be failed if any spelling issues are found.

To use dictionaries stored within a Yarn 2 workspace, there are two choices:
- Add
"usePnP": true
to the workspacecspell.json
file. This tellscspell
to search for the nearest.pnp.js
or.pnp.cjs
file and load it.
Example for medical terms:
{
"usePnP": true,
"import": ["@cspell/dict-medicalterms/cspell-ext.json"]
}
- Require the
.pnp.js
or.pnp.cjs
in acspell.config.js
file. This must be done before importing any packages.
'use strict';
require('./.pnp.js').setup(); // or './.pnp.cjs'
/** @type { import("@cspell/cspell-types").CSpellUserSettings } */
const cspell = {
