init method

Future<void> init(
  1. String? libmecabPath,
  2. String dictDir,
  3. bool includeFeatures
)

Initializes this mecab instance, libmecabPath should be the path to a mecab dynamic library Note: when using this package in Flutter, this parameter can be null, and the library will be loaded from the package's compiled mecab dynamic library. dictDir should be a directory that contains a Mecab dictionary (ex. IpaDic) If includeFeatures is set, the output of mecab includes the token-features.

Warning: This method needs to be called before any other method

Implementation

Future<void> init(String? libmecabPath, String dictDir, bool includeFeatures) async {

  var options = includeFeatures ? "" : "-Owakati";
  _mecabDartFfi = MecabDartFfi();

  if(libmecabPath != null){
    await _mecabDartFfi.init(libmecabPath: libmecabPath);
  }
  else{
    await _mecabDartFfi.init(mecabFfiHelper: await loadMecabDartLib());
  }

  _mecabDartFfi.mecabDartFfiHelper.safeUsing((ffi.Arena arena) {
    _mecabDartFfi.mecabPtr = _mecabDartFfi.initMecabFfi(
      options.toNativeUtf8(), dictDir.toNativeUtf8());
  });

  this.libmecabPath = libmecabPath;
  this.mecabDictDirPath = dictDir;
  this.includeFeatures = includeFeatures;

}
