stem-porter

Reduce words to their stems.

This package is a JavaScript implementation of the Porter2 Stemming Algorithm.

Usage

var stem = require('stem-porter')

stem("meetings")
// => "meet"

stem("dwellings")
// => "dwell"

stem("favourable")
// => "favour"

Remember that the stems are not guaranteed to be valid words.
