Announcing Lingua 1.4: The most accurate natural language detection library for Rust - now with WASM support
Dear Rustaceans,
I'm happy to announce a new major release of Lingua, the most accurate natural language detection library for Rust. The library can now be compiled to WebAssembly which allows to use it in any JavaScript-based project, be it in the browser or in the back end running on Node.js.
https://github.com/pemistahl/lingua-rs
The easiest way to compile is to use wasm-pack. After the installation, you can, for instance, build the library with the web target so that it can be directly used in the browser:
wasm-pack build --target web
In an HTML file, you can then call Lingua like the following, for instance:
<script type="module">
import init, { LanguageDetectorBuilder } from './pkg/lingua.js';
init().then(_ => {
const detector = LanguageDetectorBuilder.fromAllLanguages().build();
console.log(
detector.computeLanguageConfidenceValues("languages are awesome")
);
});
</script>
Any feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
