fuzzy score for phrases

[opike]

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but for this fuzzy match example:
https://observablehq.com/@spencermountain/compromise-fuzzy-matching?collection=@spencermountain/nlp-compromise#fuzzyMatch
Where it shows "Fuzzy score: .89", is that relying on API calls into the library? Or is that code (fuzzyMatch, editDistance, etc.) that has been pulled from inside of the library?

Hi oliver, yep, it makes no api calls and is computed in the library. The fuzzy part is a simple string comparison
Cheers

Hi - Thanks for the response.
Is there a method signature where 2 strings are passed in and the fuzzy score is returned?

i would recommend using something like this - https://github.com/tad-lispy/node-damerau-levenshtein
