Return all results if not search query is passed

[mrleblanc101]

Description

I used Fuse.js in a Vue application. I wish to display all results if no search params is passed. I can't loop on the original data since the format is not exactly the same so it would complexify my code quite a bit.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to return all results when no search query is provided

Describe alternatives you've considered

Loop on my original object and use if/else to handle the different structure.

You could make it with Fuse's APIs, like this:

const fuse = new Fuse(...);

const searchWrapper = query => {
  if (!query) return fuse.getIndex().records.map(({ $: item, i: idx }) => ({ idx, item }));
  return fuse.search(query);
};

Just came across this exact issue and wanted to note a couple of things about the second reply just in case someone goes to use it.

fuse.getIndex() doesn't have a records property in the type definition (so it will error if using typescript). $ doesn't actually contain an item from the collection so that won't work as a solution.

I'm not sure why the bot closed this? I commented afterwards to stop it from getting closed.
