fuzzy
Go library that provides fuzzy string matching optimized for filenames and code symbols in the style of Sublime Text, VSCode, IntelliJ IDEA et al. This library is external dependency-free. It only depends on the Go standard library.
Features
-
Intuitive matching. Results are returned in descending order of match quality. Quality is determined by:
- The first character in the pattern matches the first character in the match string.
- The matched character is camel cased.
- The matched character follows a separator such as an underscore character.
- The matched character is adjacent to a previous match.
-
Speed. Matches are returned in milliseconds. It's perfect for interactive search boxes.
-
The positions of matches is returned. Allows you to highlight matching characters.
-
Unicode aware.
Demo
Here is a demo of matching various patterns against ~16K files from the Unreal Engine 4 codebase.
You can run the demo yourself like so:
cd _example/
go get github.com/jroimartin/gocui
go run main.go
Usage
The following example prints out matches with the matched chars in bold.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/sahilm/fuzzy"
)
func main() {
const bold = "\033[1m%s\033[0m"
pattern := "mnr"
data := []string{"game.cpp", "moduleNameResolver.ts", "my name is_Ramsey"}
matches := fuzzy.Find(pattern, data)
for _, match := range matches {
for i := 0; i < len(match.Str); i++ {
if contains(i, match.MatchedIndexes) {
fmt.Print(fmt.Sprintf(bold, string(match.Str[i])))
} else {
fmt.Print(string(match.Str[i]))
}
}
fmt.Println()
}
}
func contains(needle int, haystack []int) bool {
for _, i := range haystack {
if needle == i {
return true
}
}
return false
}
If the data you want to match isn't a slice of strings, you can use FindFromSource
by implementing
the provided Source
interface. Here's an example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/sahilm/fuzzy"
)
type employee struct {
name string
age int
}
type employees []employee
func (e employees) String(i int) string {
return e[i].name
}
func (e employees) Len() int {
return len(e)
}
func main() {
emps := employees{
{
name: "Alice",
age: 45,
},
{
name: "Bob",
age: 35,
},
{
name: "Allie",
age: 35,
},
}
results := fuzzy.FindFrom("al", emps)
fmt.Println(results)
}
Check out the godoc for detailed documentation.
Installation
go get github.com/sahilm/fuzzy
or use your favorite dependency management tool.
Speed
Here are a few benchmark results on a normal laptop.
BenchmarkFind/with_unreal_4_(~16K_files)-4 100 12915315 ns/op
BenchmarkFind/with_linux_kernel_(~60K_files)-4 50 30885038 ns/op
Matching a pattern against ~60K files from the Linux kernel takes about 30ms.
