generic matcher

This tiny and fast module allows you to perform matching operations in any kind of generic data, provided as an array of objects. The module cleans the accents and the special characters and tries to perform an exact or partial match and returns the results back.

Install

You can install with [npm]:

$ npm install --save generic-matcher

Usage

The module requires to call the loadData function before any match operation is performed. The minimum parameters required are the data and match fields:

const genericMatcher = require('generic-matcher')
genericMatcher.loadData({data: <data_here>, match: <field_to_match_here>})

Once the data is loaded you can call the match method:

genericMatcher.match(<your_query_here>)

Please look at the index.test.js file to see a real example using a tiny movie database.

Running tests

You can run the tests and check the functionality of this module using:

$ npm install && npm test
