JSPM – damerau-levenshtein@1.0.8

Package Exports

damerau-levenshtein
damerau-levenshtein/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (damerau-levenshtein) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

It provides a function that takes two string arguments and returns a hash like this:

{
  steps: 5,       // Levenstein demerau distance
  relative: 0.7,  // steps / length of the longer string
  similarity: 0.3 // 1 - relative
}

Install

npm install damerau-levenshtein

Use with ES6 modules

import * as levenshtein from 'damerau-levenshtein';

const lev = levenshtein('hello world', 'Hello World!');
// { steps: 4, relative: 0.3076923076923077, similarity: 0.6923076923076923 }

  relative: number;
  similarity: number;
}

const lev: LevenshteinResponse = levenshtein('hello world', 'Hello World!');

console.log(lev.steps);
