Levenshtein algorithm

My realization of Damerau-Levenshtein distance algorithm.

Usage

const { distance, closest } = require('@alordash/damerau-levenshtein')

// Print Damerau-Levenshtein distance between "better" and "bteetr"
console.log(distance("better", "bteetr"));
//=> 2

// Select the most similar string to "park" from string list.
let value = closest("park", ["luck", "duck", "apkr"]);

// Result:
console.log(value.closest_string);
//=> "apkr"

console.log(value.distance);
//=> 2

Features

You can also create calculation object using DamerauLevenshtein class:

const { DamerauLevenshtein } = require("@alordash/levenshtein");

// Calculate Damerau-Levenshtein distance between "entity" and "idenitty"
let object = new DamerauLevenshtein("entity", "idenitty");

// Print Damerau-Levenshtein distance between "entity" and "idenitty"
console.log(object.valueOf(), object.distance);
//=> 3 3

// Change strings in object to "first" and "wrist" and calculate Damerau-Levenshtein distance between them
object.strings = ["first", "wrist"];

// Print Damerau-Levenshtein distance between "first" and "wrist"
console.log(object.distance);
//=> 2

// Print calculation matrix
console.log(object.toString());
//=>
//     |   | w | r | i | s | t
