Use Bitap to search approximate substring? #241

Closed janga1997 closed 4 years ago

janga1997 commented 6 years ago

I need to use the Bitap's implementation in this module on its own, without relying on Fuse. Or with. However I can. Is there a way to reference Bitaps' functions implemented in this library?

ahh. Never Mind. Spoke too soon.

janga1997 commented 6 years ago

Sorry, reopening as my issue wasn't solved. Its my understanding that Bitap is primarily used to approximately search a string in a larger string, forming the basis for agrep.

But Fuse.js' functionality primarily is to find approx. matches in an array of strings.

Could I use the existing module's Fuse/Bitap functions for the approximate substring search problem?

You would have to import the bitap implementation directly

That is:

let bitap = require('fuse.js/bitap')

or something to that effect.
