Installing

Usage

import didYouMean from '@orbital-frame/plugin-did-you-mean'

// add `didYouMean` to your bot's plugins

Configuring

This plugin exports both a configurable and preconfigured version. The default export is preconfigured to use a sensitivity of 2 which is the upper bound for the Damerau-Levenshtein distance. To configure your own value, use the named export didYouMean.A higher value for the sensitivity will return more results.

Example

import { didYouMean } from '@orbital-frame/plugin-did-you-mean'

const configuredPlugin = didYouMean({ sensitivity: 5 })
// add `configuredPlugin` to your bot's plugins

Runtime Complexity

This plugin uses Damerau-Levenshtein distance as its similarity measure which has a runtime complexity of O(n*m), where n and m are the lengths of the strings being compared. This is applied against every loaded command on error which gives a final runtime complexity of ~O(n^2) which may introduce significant overhead if there are many commands loaded.
