wildflower VS fuzzball.js

Informally speaking, yes. It does also support escape characters, which IIRC isn't part of the glob spec. There's [an issue open](https://github.com/cassaundra/wildflower/issues/7) to support character ranges as well, which I can see leading to things like character classes too.

import { ratio, } from 'fuzzball'; import { SequenceMatcher } from 'difflib'; // modified from: https://github.com/nol13/fuzzball.js/blob/773b82991f2bcacc950b413615802aa953193423/fuzzball.js#L942 function partial_ratio(str1: string, str2: string) { if (str1.length <= str2.length) { var shorter = str1 var longer = str2 } else { var shorter = str2 var longer = str1 } var m = new SequenceMatcher(null, shorter, longer); var blocks = m.getMatchingBlocks(); let bestScore: number = 0; let bestMatch: string | null = null let bestStartIdx: number = -1 for (var b = 0; b < blocks.length; b++) { var long_start = (blocks[b][1] - blocks[b][0]) > 0 ? (blocks[b][1] - blocks[b][0]) : 0; var long_end = long_start + shorter.length; var long_substr = longer.substring(long_start,long_end); var r = ratio(shorter,long_substr); if (r > bestScore) { bestScore = r; bestMatch = long_substr; bestStartIdx = long_start; } if (r > 99.5) { break; } } return { bestMatch, bestScore, bestStartIdx, } }

I’ve been using the fuzzball package for the search algorithm in my current project. It might be able to help with matching non-exact strings
