suggest

A minimal library to provide similar name suggestions like "Did you mean?" This library provides suggestion traits for all collection types in the standard library.

This library is intended to suggest a candidate from a list of unknown suggestions until runtime, in addition to the suggestion feature already available in clap.

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
suggest = "0.5"

Examples

Simple case

This example can be executed by the cargo run --example simple command.

use suggest::Suggest;

fn main() {
    let input = "instakk";

    let list_commands = vec!["update", "install"];
    if list_commands.contains(&input) {
        return;
    }

    if let Some(sugg) = list_commands.suggest(input) {
        println!("No command named `{}` found.", input);
        println!("Did you mean `{}`?", sugg);
    }
}

$ cargo run
No command named `instakk` found.
Did you mean `install`?

Specifying distance

use suggest::Suggest;

fn main() {
    let input = "paoc";

    let list_commands = vec!["poac", "poacpp"];
    if list_commands.contains(&input) {
        return;
    }

    if let Some(sugg) = list_commands.suggest_by(input, 2) {
        println!("No command named `{}` found.", input);
        println!("Did you mean `{}`?", sugg);
    }
}

$ cargo run
No command named `paoc` found.
Did you mean `poac`?
