Fixes Issue

Closes #771

Changes proposed

Hey, This PR fixes the issue for checking words with typos (#771). In the issue there were different discussions about using some type of NLTK spell checker library. For that use case I added typo-js-ts lib with defined dictionary for US language. In addition I added some additional logic to remove the non alphabetic characters from each word, and if those characters are removed, then it can check for the typos, and use the first suggestion for that word.

++ I added a testing dependency to the project (called jest) to test my new functionaly and cover some older components. Updated the Readme, and the build.yml workflow.

Added:

• Created typoFixer component using the typo-js-ts dependency for spell checking

• Created unit tests for typoFixer component ( typoFixer.test.ts )

• Created unit test for stripSpecialCharacter component (stripSpecialCharacter.test.ts )

• Added dependencies:

  • typo-js-ts dependency - Spell checker dependency

• Added en_US dictionary for typo-js-ts dependency:

  • (en_US.aff, en_US.dic)

• Added dev-dependencies for testing with jest:

  • @babel/preset-env
  • @babel/preset-typescript
  • @jest/globals
  • @types/jest
  • jest
  • ts-jest

Changed:

• Updated package.json scripts section with a new script for running tests
• Updated README.md with Running the tests section
• Updated build.yml github workflow action with run tests step
• Updated dependencies:
  • mongoose upgraded to version 6.4.6
  • @types/express upgraded to version 4.17.20
  • @types/node upgaded to version 14.18.63
  • typescript upgraded to version 4.9.5

Hey @eddiejaoude , thanks for your response.

I added one test case to check if it will fix the word picking or not. It will remain the same.

But you are right. This addition can produce false positives. That's the reason why I added these libraries for typo-js-ts locally. This can be changed anytime, and fix any false positive issues. I tried it locally to produce some false positives, but I couldn't.
