Introduction

Summary

After losing some afternoons trying to create a fuzzy finder for a side project, I decided to export it
as an open-source library that could help me (and other devs) with filters in the future.

I wanted to create a library that fits perfectly for filters, selects,
autocompletes, navigate commands, etc.

The main goal was to create a library that is:

• Easy to use.
• Framework-agnostic without dependencies.
• Fast, should filter thousands of items in milliseconds.
• Lightweight. Less than 2kb.
• Case-insensitive and diacritics-insensitive.
• Returns the matched positions and points of each result.

This is how @polgubau/fuzzy ended up being an optimized library designed with TypeScript from the roots. You just need to type
one command and call one function to get a fuzzy finder for your project.

What this is NOT ⚠️

• A library that tries to do everything.
• A monolithic package with a lot of features you don't need.
• A complete Filter library.

What this IS ✅

• A small direct library that solves a specific problem.
• A helper for your filters and lists.
• A library that is easy to use and understand.
• Open source without a pricing tag in the navbar.
