• optional configuration

didyoumea3 has some built-in string formatting configuration items：

• ignore: Ignore case when comparing, default false.

• trim: Use string.trim format the string, default true.

• trimAll: Use regexp /\s+/g formate the string, default false.

• diacritics: Use normalize Api, e.g. 'café' -> 'café'.normalize(), default false

• normalize: Customize the formatting function by yourself.

🔥 If these parameters don't meet your requirements, you can customize the formatting function through normalize.

🔥 When using the custom normalize function, the above string formatting configurations will be ignored.

didyoumean3(input, target, { normalize: (s: string) => s.trim() } );

result: Customize the structure of the results you want to return

// default result may be null or {winner: xx, matched: []}
type Res = null | { matched: any[], winner: string }

// you can custom your own result style!!
const result = (res: Res) => {
  if (!res) return 'nothing matched!'
  else return res
}

didyoumean3(input, target, { result } );

---

filter: You can filter the results you want, such as those with a score greater than 5

let i2 = 'insargrm';
let l2 = ['facebook', 'instagram', 'linkedin'];
expect(
  didyoumean3(i2, l2, { filter: (score: number, item: any) => score >= 7 })
    ?.matched.length
).toBe(2);
