spirits
A nice lightweight wildcard implementation written in TypeScript. I know there are already
a lot of these, but I had a use case that required to test a string against many wildcards
and determine which matched most specifically. I couldn't find one that did that, so
I just made my own. (If you would like that same functionality, look at the bestMatch
documentation.)
Usage
Example:
import Spirit from "spirits";
const format = new Spirit("The weather is * today!");
const greeting = "The weather is great today!";
console.log(format.match(greeting)
? greeting
: "I have no idea what the weather is like because I am just a computer!");
