usage in nodejs

[fk-hb]

Hi,
First, I want to thank you: having snowball stemmer in javascript world is great.
I have two questions:

• how stable is this library. You just release it. is it stable enough?
• I'd like to use it within nodejs and I had some issues:
• first the package is not nodejs friendly we can't just require it after an npm install. i had to copy the js files from dest directory.
• I had a bug in this.setCurrent$S(""); which is very strange since it is defined in the BaseStemmer.prototype.
  do you have a working sample in nodejs?
  Thanks,

Sorry, I missed this issue.

It is stable. Original Snowball stemmer contains more than 100 thousands test cases (pairs of original word and stemmed word), and this code (and Python codes I made with this code) returns 100% compatible result. I understand only English, I can't test more.

I don't like commit resulting files into repository. But I will add them on release pages.

The following code works for me.

var PorterStemmer = require('./porter-stemmer.common.js').PorterStemmer;

var stemmer = new PorterStemmer();
console.log(stemmer.stemWord("baby"));

trying to load the module:

var Stemmer = require('porter-stemmer.common.js').PorterStemmer;
//or
var Stemmer = require('snowball-stemmer.jsx/porter-stemmer.common.js');
//or
var Stemmer = require('snowball-stemmer.jsx/dest/porter-stemmer.common.js');

Nothing seems to actually work.

The last one should work.

I fix README. Thank you for your feedback!

Also: http://snowball.tartarus.org/license.php
The snowball license is not MIT. Is this project independent enough to have a different license?
