JWFSearch

Node package written as an addon in CPP. Uses JaroWinkler to fuzzySearch an array.

Webpack (Vite, Vue, NextJS) Compatibility requires a loader.

// next config
const nextConfig = {
  // configure loader for jwfsearch
  webpack: (config) => {
    config.externals = [...config.externals, { jwfsearch: 'jwfsearch' }];
    return config;
  },
};

npm i jwfsearch

const fuzzySearch = require('jwfsearch');
