For Contibutors

package.json file

1. main and types are important when this package will be imported.

  "main": "dist/index.js",
  "types": "dist/index.d.ts",

2. Dependencies should be maximum (not only direct but also indirect references should also be given), everything directly in the code should be given here.

  "dependencies": {
    "nlptoolkit-corpus": "^1.0.12",
    "nlptoolkit-dictionary": "^1.0.14",
    "nlptoolkit-morphologicalanalysis": "^1.0.19",
    "nlptoolkit-xmlparser": "^1.0.7"
  }

tsconfig.json file

1. Compiler flags currently includes nodeNext for importing.

  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "dist",
    "module": "nodeNext",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "declaration": true,
  },

2. tests, node_modules and dist should be excluded.

  "exclude": [
    "tests",
    "node_modules",
    "dist"
  ]

index.ts file

1. Should include all ts classes.

export * from "./CategoryType"
export * from "./InterlingualDependencyType"
export * from "./InterlingualRelation"
export * from "./Literal"

Data files

1. Add data files to the project folder. Subprojects should include all data files of the parent projects.

Javascript files

1. Classes should be defined as exported.

export class JCN extends ICSimilarity{

2. Do not forget to comment each function.

    /**
     * Computes JCN wordnet similarity metric between two synsets.
     * @param synSet1 First synset
     * @param synSet2 Second synset
     * @return JCN wordnet similarity metric between two synsets
     */
    computeSimilarity(synSet1: SynSet, synSet2: SynSet): number {

3. Function names should follow caml case.

    setSynSetId(synSetId: string){

4. Write getter and setter methods.

    getRelation(index: number): Relation{
    setName(name: string){

5. Use standard javascript test style.

describe('SimilarityPathTest', function() {
    describe('SimilarityPathTest', function() {
        it('testComputeSimilarity', function() {
            let turkish = new WordNet();
            let similarityPath = new SimilarityPath(turkish);
            assert.strictEqual(32.0, similarityPath.computeSimilarity(turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0656390"), turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0600460")));
            assert.strictEqual(13.0, similarityPath.computeSimilarity(turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0412120"), turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0755370")));
            assert.strictEqual(13.0, similarityPath.computeSimilarity(turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0195110"), turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0822980")));
        });
    });
});

6. Enumerated types should be declared with enum.

export enum CategoryType {
    MATHEMATICS, SPORT, MUSIC, SLANG, BOTANIC,
    PLURAL, MARINE, HISTORY, THEOLOGY, ZOOLOGY,
    METAPHOR, PSYCHOLOGY, ASTRONOMY, GEOGRAPHY, GRAMMAR,
    MILITARY, PHYSICS, PHILOSOPHY, MEDICAL, THEATER,
    ECONOMY, LAW, ANATOMY, GEOMETRY, BUSINESS,
    PEDAGOGY, TECHNOLOGY, LOGIC, LITERATURE, CINEMA,
    TELEVISION, ARCHITECTURE, TECHNICAL, SOCIOLOGY, BIOLOGY,
    CHEMISTRY, GEOLOGY, INFORMATICS, PHYSIOLOGY, METEOROLOGY,
    MINERALOGY
}

7. If there are multiple constructors for a class, define them as constructor1, constructor2, ..., then from the original constructor call these methods.

    constructor1(symbol: any){
    constructor2(symbol: any, multipleFile: MultipleFile) {
    constructor(symbol: any, multipleFile: MultipleFile = undefined) {
        if (multipleFile == undefined){
            this.constructor1(symbol);
        } else {
            this.constructor2(symbol, multipleFile);
        }
    }

8. Importing should be done via import method with referencing the node-modules.

import {Corpus} from "nlptoolkit-corpus/dist/Corpus";
import {Sentence} from "nlptoolkit-corpus/dist/Sentence";

9. Use xmlparser package for parsing xml files.

	var doc = new XmlDocument("test.xml")
	doc.parse()
	let root = doc.getFirstChild()
	let firstChild = root.getFirstChild()
