Readme for fuzzily-0.2.1.0

[back to package description]

Fuzzily

Fuzzy string search library in Haskell. Uses TextualMonoid from monoid-subclasses to be able to run on different types of strings.

This is a fork of Joomy Korkut's fuzzy, which itselft was a port of the JavaScript library mattyork/fuzzy.

It's main difference is more readable code and a cleaner API:

  • Descriptive variable names
  • ADTs instead of booleans

It was initially forked to be used in TaskLite's find sub-command.

Usage

> import Text.Fuzzily > match HandleCase ("", "") id "fnt" "infinite" Just (Fuzzy { original = "infinite" , rendered = "infinite" , score = 3 }) > match IgnoreCase ("<", ">") fst "hsk" ("Haskell", 1995) Just (Fuzzy { original = ("Haskell", 1995) , rendered = "<H>a<s><k>ell" , score = 5 }) > langs = [("Standard ML", 1990), ("OCaml", 1996), ("Scala", 2003)] > filter IgnoreCase ("<", ">") fst "ML" langs [ Fuzzy { original = ("Standard ML", 1990) , rendered = "Standard <M><L>" , score = 4 } , Fuzzy { original = ("OCaml", 1996) , rendered = "OCa<m><l>" , score = 4 } ] > simpleFilter "vm" ["vim", "emacs", "virtual machine"] ["vim", "virtual machine"] > test "brd" "bread" True
