autotrie 0.3.1

A auto-completion engine for Dart/Flutter, based around an optimized Trie implementation.

AutoTrie

A versatile library which solves autocompletion in Dart/Flutter. It is based around a space-efficient implementation of Trie which uses variable-length lists. With this, serving auto-suggestions is both fast and no-hassle. Suggestions are also sorted by how often they've been entered and subsorted by recency of entry, for search-engine-like results.

Usage

A usage example is provided below. Check the API Reference for detailed docs:

import 'package:autotrie/autotrie.dart';

void main() {
  var engine = AutoComplete(); //You can also initialize with a starting databank.

  engine.enter('more'); // Enter more thrice.
  engine.enter('more');
  engine.enter('more');

  engine.enter('moody'); // Enter moody twice.
  engine.enter('moody');

  engine.enter('morose'); // Enter scattered words (with mo).
  engine.enter('morty');
  engine.enter('moment');
  engine.enter('momentum');

  engine.enter('sorose'); // Enter scattered words (without mo).
  engine.enter('sorty');

  engine.delete('morose'); // Delete morose.

  // Check if morose is deleted.
  print('Morose deletion check: ${engine.contains('morose')}');

  // Check if engine is empty.
  print('Engine emptiness check: ${engine.isEmpty}');

  // Suggestions starting with 'mo'.
  // They've been sorted by frequency and subsorted by recency.
  print("'mo' suggestions: ${engine.suggest('mo')}");
  // Result: [more, moody, momentum, moment, morty]

  // Get all entries.
  // They've been sorted by frequency and subsorted by recency.
  print('All entries: ${engine.allEntries}');
  // Result: [more, moody, sorty, sorose, momentum, moment, morty]
}

Hive Integration

• Hive is a speedy, local, and key-value database for Dart/Flutter. Go check it out if you haven't already!
• Hive integration is now available with autotrie:
  • Uses the AutoCompleteBox class, which extends Hive's Box class.
  • Call refreshAuto after making changes to build the autocomplete engine
  • You can then use searchKeys(String prefix) and searchValues(String prefix) to get auto-suggestions.
