What is match-sorter?

The match-sorter npm package is a simple, expected, and deterministic best-match sorting of an array in JavaScript. It's used to filter and sort lists of strings or objects by best match against a given query.

What are match-sorter's main functionalities?

Simple string matching

This feature allows you to sort an array of strings by matching against a single query string. It returns the items that match the query, ordered by best match.

import matchSorter from 'match-sorter';
const fruits = ['apple', 'orange', 'grape', 'banana'];
const sortedFruits = matchSorter(fruits, 'ap');
// sortedFruits will be ['apple', 'grape']

Object array matching

This feature allows you to sort an array of objects by matching against a query string on specified object keys. It returns the objects that match the query, ordered by best match.

import matchSorter from 'match-sorter';
const items = [{name: 'apple'}, {name: 'orange'}, {name: 'grape'}, {name: 'banana'}];
const sortedItems = matchSorter(items, 'ap', {keys: ['name']});
// sortedItems will be [{name: 'apple'}, {name: 'grape'}]

Custom ranking strategies

This feature allows you to customize the ranking strategy used for sorting. You can specify the order of ranking methods to tailor the sorting to your needs.

import matchSorter, {rankings} from 'match-sorter';
const books = ['The Hobbit', 'Game of Thrones', 'Curious George'];
const sortedBooks = matchSorter(books, 'th', {rankings: [rankings.STARTS_WITH, rankings.EQUAL, rankings.CONTAINS]});
// sortedBooks will be ['The Hobbit', 'Game of Thrones']
