Quick Start

import Fuse from 'fuse.js'

const books = [
  { title: "Old Man's War", author: 'John Scalzi' },
  { title: 'The Lock Artist', author: 'Steve Hamilton' }
]

const fuse = new Fuse(books, {
  keys: ['title', 'author']
})

const results = fuse.search('jon')
// [{ item: { title: "Old Man's War", author: "John Scalzi" }, refIndex: 0 }]

Fuse.js searches the keys you specify and returns results ranked by relevance. A score of 0 is a perfect match; 1 is a complete mismatch.

Builds

Fuse.js ships two builds:

Build	Includes	Gzip
Full	Fuzzy + extended + logical + token search	~8.6 kB
Basic	Fuzzy search only	~6.8 kB

Import paths:

// Full build (default)
import Fuse from 'fuse.js'

// Basic build
import Fuse from 'fuse.js/basic'

// Minified variants
import Fuse from 'fuse.js/min'
import Fuse from 'fuse.js/min-basic'

Build files in dist/:

	UMD	CommonJS	ES Module
Full	fuse.js	fuse.cjs	fuse.mjs
Basic	fuse.basic.js	fuse.basic.cjs	fuse.basic.mjs
Full (min)	fuse.min.js	—	fuse.min.mjs
Basic (min)	fuse.basic.min.js	—	fuse.basic.min.mjs

The basic build does not include extended search or token search. If you need those features with the basic build, register them at runtime with Fuse.use():

import Fuse from 'fuse.js/basic'
import { ExtendedSearch } from 'fuse.js'

Fuse.use(ExtendedSearch)
