A Simple JavaScript Trie, by John Resig

Install

npm install --save resig-trie

Usage

var trie = require('trie');

trie.create(['a', 'an', 'banana', 'bananas', 'byte', 'boolean', 'chocolate', 'code', ...]);
//=> <trie object>

trie.serialize(<trie object>, true); // true to create valid JSON
//=> '<trie object as JSON>'

trie.serialize(<trie object>, false); // false to create valid JavaScript (not JSON) - more efficient, but must be `eval`'ed
//=> '<trie object as long string>'

// Warning: this uses eval(), so don't pass user input. When the trie is
// serialized as JSON, you can just JSON.parse() it.
trie.unserialize(<trie string>);
//=> <trie object>

trie.find(<trie object>, 'banana');
//=> true, because 'banana' is in the trie

trie.find(<trie object>, 'microsoft');
//=> false, because 'microsoft' is not in the trie
