stemmer

A library in golang that implements the PorterStemmer algorithm for stemming words.

usage

package main

import "github.com/caneroj1/stemmer"

func main() {
  str := "running"

  // stem a single word
  stem := stemmer.Stem(str)

  // stem = RUN

  strings := []string{
    "playing",
    "skies",
    "singed",
  }

  // stem a list of words
  stems := stemmer.StemMultiple(strings)

  // stems = [PLAI SKI SIN]

  // stem a list of words in place, modifying the original slice
  stemmer.StemMultipleMutate(strings)
  
  // strings = [PLAI SKI SIN]
  
  // stem a list of words concurrently. this also stems in place, modifying
  // the original slice.
  // NOTE: the order of the strings is not guaranteed to be the same.
  stemmer.StemConcurrent(strings)

  // strings = [PLAI SKI SIN]
