npm

$ npm i fastest-levenshtein

Usage

Node

const {distance, closest} = require('fastest-levenshtein')

// Print levenshtein-distance between 'fast' and 'faster' 
console.log(distance('fast', 'faster'))

import {distance, closest} from 'https://deno.land/x/fastest_levenshtein/mod.ts'

// Print levenshtein-distance between 'fast' and 'faster' 
console.log(distance('fast', 'faster'))
//=&gt; 2

// Print string from array with lowest edit-distance to 'fast'
console.log(closest('fast', ['slow', 'faster', 'fastest']))
//=&gt; 'faster'

Benchmark

I generated 500 pairs of strings with length N. I measured the ops/sec each library achieves to process all the given pairs. Higher is better.
