Secret Santa Matcher

Installation

npm install secret-santa-matcher or yarn add secret-santa-matcher.

API

import { match } from 'secret-santa-matcher'

match(people)

• people: Array<string>
• returns: Map<string=>string>

Returns a map describing the flow of present giving. Example:

match(['john', 'jane', 'dave'])

// returns Map('john' => 'dave', 'dave' => 'jane', 'jane' => 'john') // or any random permutation

Roadmap

Add support for exclusion groups, e.g. if you don't to prevent some specific persons being matched to some other specific persons ; can be useful to favor giving outside of small groups of people who know each other
