solr-synonyms v0.0.2

node-solr-synonyms

Parse Solr/ElasticSearch synonyms files into JavaScript objects

Installation

npm install solr-synonyms

API

parse(inputString, ignoreCase = true, expand = false)

• inputString: The string in solr format (see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#solr.SynonymFilterFactory)
• ignoreCase: Ignore the case. Duh.
• expand: See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#solr.SynonymFilterFactory

Usage

var synonyms = require('solr-synonyms');

var obj = synonyms.parse(input);

Now you can simply replace tokens in your texts by looking them up in the returned object.

Example output

Given this input

# blank lines and lines starting with pound are comments.

#Explicit mappings match any token sequence on the LHS of "=>"
#and replace with all alternatives on the RHS.  These types of mappings
#ignore the expand parameter in the schema.
#Examples:
i-pod, i pod => ipod,
sea biscuit, sea biscit => seabiscuit

#Equivalent synonyms may be separated with commas and give
#no explicit mapping.  In this case the mapping behavior will
#be taken from the expand parameter in the schema.  This allows
#the same synonym file to be used in different synonym handling strategies.
#Examples:
ipod, i-pod, i pod
foozball , foosball
universe , cosmos

# If expand==true, "ipod, i-pod, i pod" is equivalent to the explicit mapping:
ipod, i-pod, i pod => ipod, i-pod, i pod
# If expand==false, "ipod, i-pod, i pod" is equivalent to the explicit mapping:
ipod, i-pod, i pod => ipod

#multiple synonym mapping entries are merged.
foo => foo bar
foo => baz
#is equivalent to
foo => foo bar, baz
