Classify suggestions

[rowanoulton]

It would be great if the output for each suggestion had a classification, for example:

[{
  suggestion: "omit 'So' from the beginning of sentences",
  type: 'so',
  index: 0, offset: 2
}, {
  suggestion: "'was stolen' is passive voice",
  type: 'passive-voice',
  index: 11, offset: 10
}]

At the moment, this can only be achieved by disabling all but a single check and running each individually. I'd love to use this linter to aggregate the various issues it checks for rather than implementing each linter individually. I think classifications would be helpful for such a use case.

I think this is a reasonable request. PR welcome.

@rowanoulton @btford Is this still something on the radar?

[AlexandreKilian]

since nothing has happened in the past 2,5 years, I assume nobody came up with a PR so far?

[AlexandreKilian]

I implemented it in a fork (https://github.com/qwill-app/write-good)… I'd also love to add a configuration option to enable/disable sorting suggestions by index (I need the checks in the order I configured them with, not ordered by index)… @btford should I do a PR with either sorting reenabled or configurable?

[rdmueller]

any updated status on this? I also need the classification and don't want to rebuild it if there is already some code

Please make a PR, @AlexandreKilian, with whatever sorting you think is best.
