sentiment-multilang

Multilanguage AFINN-based sentiment analysis for Node.js

Sentiment is a Node.js module that uses the AFINN-111 wordlist to perform sentiment analysis on arbitrary blocks of input text.

It supports the following languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch and Italian. For languages other than english, it uses a locale transposition of AFINN-111 wordlist. The wordlist can be extended adding words too.

Emojis are also supported:
``js describe('Emoji', function() { test('It should detect the usage of emojis', function () { expect(sentiment('Te amo! 😍', 'es').vote).toEqual('positive'); }); });`

`Installation`

npm install @owsas/sentiment-multilang
