A simple fuzzy filter function for array.prototype.filter using fuse.js.

Install

How to use it : Simple data structure

Basics

use this wrapper with simple array [val1, val2, ...] il is really (really) easy :

ìmport fuzzyFilter from 'fuzzy-array-filter';

const array = ['There is a house in New Orleans',
  'They call the Rising Sun',
  'And \'s been the ruin of many a poor boy',
  'And God, I know I\'m one',
  'My mother was a tailor',
  'She sewed my new blue jeans',
  'My father was a gamblin man',
  'Down in New Orleans',
  'Now the only thing a gambler needs',
  'Is a suitcase and trunk',
  'And the only time he\'s satisfied',
  'Is when he\'s on a drunk',
  'Oh mother, tell your children',
  'Not to do what I have done',
  'Spend your lives in sin and misery',
  'In the House of the Rising Sun' ];

console.log(array.filter(fuzzyFilter('new orleans')));
// => [ 'There is a house in New Orleans', 'Down in New Orleans' ]

Default fuzzy options are

{
  "threshold": 0.4,
  "location": 0,
  "distance": 100,
  "maxPatternLength": 32,
  "keys": []
}

With custom options

ìmport fuzzyFilter from 'fuzzy-array-filter';

const array = theRisingSunArray; // the previous one

const options = {
  caseSensitive: true,
};

console.log(array.filter(fuzzyFilter('new orleans', options)));
// => []

console.log(array.filter(fuzzySearch('man', options)));
// => [ 'And \'s been the ruin of many a poor boy', 'My father was a gamblin man' ]

For more details, please see the fuse.js options documentation

How to use it : More complex data structures

Basics

When you use this wrapper with more complex data structure, make sure you have provided some custom options. You MUST fill the id and the keys options.

id option is a single value. It can represent anything, like a string or a number.

Simple complex

const array = [
  { uniqueValue: 1, names: 'Edwina' },
  { uniqueValue: 2, names: 'Augusta' },
  { uniqueValue: 3, names: 'Lina' },
  { uniqueValue: 4, names: 'Ware' },
  { uniqueValue: 5, names: 'Kim' },
  { uniqueValue: 6, names: 'Nita' },
  { uniqueValue: 7, names: 'Garrett' },
  { uniqueValue: 8, names: 'Concepcion' },
  { uniqueValue: 9, names: 'Laverne' },
  { uniqueValue: 10, names: 'Alford' },
  { uniqueValue: 11, names: 'Jill' },
  { uniqueValue: 12, names: 'Reed' },
  { uniqueValue: 13, names: 'Shaw' },
];

const options = {
  keys: ['names'],
  id: 'uniqueValue'
}

const filteredArray = array.filter(fuzzyFilter('in', options))
console.log(filteredArray)

Complex

const array2 = [
  { id: 1, names: { first: 'Edwina', last:'random' } },
  { id: 2, names: { first: 'Augusta', last:'random' } },
  { id: 3, names: { first: 'Lina', last:'random' } },
  { id: 4, names: { first: 'Ware', last:'random' } },
  { id: 5, names: { first: 'Kim', last:'random' } },
  { id: 6, names: { first: 'Nita', last:'random' } },
  { id: 7, names: { first: 'Garrett', last:'random' } },
  { id: 8, names: { first: 'Concepcion', last:'random' } },
  { id: 9, names: { first: 'Laverne', last:'random' } },
  { id: 10, names: { first: 'Alford', last:'random' } },
  { id: 11, names: { first: 'Jill', last:'random' } },
  { id: 12, names: { first: 'Reed', last:'random' } },
  { id: 13, names: { first: 'Shaw', last:'random' } },
];

const options2 = {
  keys: ['names.first', 'names.last'],
  id: 'id'
}

const filteredArray2 = array2.filter(fuzzyFilter('in', options2))
console.log(filteredArray2)

More complex

const array3 = [
  { id: 1, names: { first: ['Edwina'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 2, names: { first: ['Augusta'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 3, names: { first: ['Lina'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 4, names: { first: ['Ware'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 5, names: { first: ['Kim'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 6, names: { first: ['Nita'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 7, names: { first: ['Garrett'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 8, names: { first: ['Concepcion'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 9, names: { first: ['Laverne'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 10, names: { first: ['Alford'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 11, names: { first: ['Jill'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 12, names: { first: ['Reed'], last:['random'] } },
  { id: 13, names: { first: ['Shaw'], last:['random'] } },
];

const options3 = {
  keys: ['names.first'],
  id: 'id'
}

const filteredArray3 = array3.filter(fuzzyFilter('in', options3))
console.log(filteredArray3)
