Angular fuse.js

Angular module using fuse.js to fuzzy-search through a list of objects. Also easily highlight matched terms which is the true added value of this module.

Demo: https://maleblond.github.io/angular-fusejs/

How to install?

This module is available through npm. It is compatible with module bundlers (webpack / browserify ...).

1. npm install angular-fusejs
2. Import FusejsModule into your module:

   import {FusejsModule} from 'angular-fusejs'
   @NgModule({
   imports: [
   ...
   FusejsModule,
   ],
   ...
   })

How to use?

Filter elements in a *ngFor

Use fusejs pipe in a *ngFor to search through a list of elements. Pass search string as first parameter. Pass fusejs option object as second parameter (optional):

<li *ngFor="let element of (listOfElement | fusejs:searchString:{keys: ['name', 'author']})"></li>

Params:

• Array(required): Array of objects to search in
• String(optional): search string
• Object(optional): options (see below)

Options

Supports all fusejs options (see http://fusejs.io/) and also those:

• supportHighlight (boolean), defaults to true: Whether or not to include highlight info in returning object. If set to false, it will just call FuseJS search, without any additional processing.
• minSearchTermLength (number), defaults to 3: Minimal search string length. If length is less than this value, FuseJS will not be called.
• fusejsHighlightKey (string), defaults to 'fuseJsHighlighted': Key under which the highlighted results will be stored in the objects of the array. You probably do not need to change this.
• fusejsScoreKey (string), defaults to 'fuseJsHighlighted': Key under which the fuse.js returned score will be stored in the objects of the array. You probably do not need to change this.

By default, here are the options set by angular-fusejs:

{
    supportHighlight: true,
    shouldSort: false,
    threshold: 0.6,
    location: 0,
    distance: 100,
    maxPatternLength: 32,
    minMatchCharLength: 2,
    includeScore: true,
    minSearchTermLength: 3,
    fusejsHighlightKey: 'fuseJsHighlighted',
    fusejsScoreKey: 'fuseJsScore',
}

You can override those default options by injecting FusejsService in your app and setting FusejsService.defaultOptions to whatever you want.

Show highlighted terms

{{element.fuseJsHighlighted.whateverAttribute}}

Replace whateverAttribute with your attribute name, trust it as HTML and you are good to go.

Disclaimer

I made this just for fun, to learn a bit more about fuzzy search + angular. Fuzzy search + detecting what should be highlighted is 100% handled by fuse.js.

If you encounter any bug, please check who is the culprit before submitting an issue - it might be a bug in fuse.js library.
