Check Spelling in Starlight Docs

[trueberryless]

Over the last week I implemented the Github Action spell-ckecking into my own repo which uses Starlight.

I think it would be great to also implement such a feature in the Starlight Docs and I am willing to create a PR which implements the check-spelling Action if the community decides that Starlight should implement this feature.

I am neutral on this case, its good to have but with all the linting and formatting I find myself delayed overtime. I find this in my lowest priorities (subjectively). It is nicely maintained and documented 💯

This is a cool idea! I wonder if you could publish this as a community add-on package a bit like https://github.com/HiDeoo/starlight-links-validator ?

I can give you some examples of my repo where this action helps out a lot:

• Commenting on commits: trueberryless-org/mutanuq@dbe0c2b#commitcomment-132435149
• Commenting on Pull Request (with updates when new commits): Update allow words trueberryless-org/mutanuq#35 (comment)
• Creating entries in Security tab for misspellings: https://github.com/trueberryless-org/mutanuq/security/code-scanning?query=is%3Aclosed+branch%3Amain

and much more. You can see every feature of this Github Action right here

Oh I should have been more clear. I meant either a JS or composite GitHub Action that would re-use this one but with extra features dedicated to Starlight, e.g. automatic configuration of the dictionaries based on the Starlight configured locales, etc.

Okay, this is a very good idea! Haven't though about that one before...

does this work for generic astro sites as well?

I did not try it but in the current state, I think it could (or at least should be able with not a lot of modifications) altho my plan is to convert the integration into a Starlight plugin when possible to add more Starlight specific feature like support for Starlight fallback pages and same-locale links (which would use the Starlight locales config). At this point, this would no longer an option at all.

Looking back at this reply today, thanking you so much for giving me this wonderful idea back then!
