A sentiment analyzer for English, Dutch and German. Feel free to add more languages.
Word scores are normalized to a scale between -1 and 1 and all scores in a sentence are summed for the total score. The higher the score the more positive the sentiment.
Words are sourced from:
- English: the AFINN-165
- Dutch: Moors et al
- German: Leipzig Affective Norms for German
German is by far the smallest word list and therefor the least reliable.
npm install --save sentimental
const sentiment = require('sentimental');

// Results in: 0.8 scoreInspired and based upon Andrew Sliwinskis Sentiment
