## Installing

```shell

npm install vbb-stations-autocomplete

```

## Usage

```js

autocomplete(query, results = 3, fuzzy = false, completion = true)

```

```javascript

const autocomplete = require('vbb-stations-autocomplete')

autocomplete('Seestr', 3)

```

This returns stations in a reduced form of the [*Friendly Public Transport Format*](https://github.com/public-transport/friendly-public-transport-format). To get all details, pass each `id` into [`vbb-stations`](https://github.com/derhuerst/vbb-stations).

```javascript

[

	{

		id: '900000009103', // U Seestr.

		relevance: 2.0817557,

		score: 40.8276194

	}, {

		id: '900000009105', // Seestr./Amrumer Str.

		relevance: 1.0408778,

		score: 15.7013362

	}, {

		id: '900000019103', // Seestr./Beusselstr.

		relevance: 1.3878371,

		score: 12.3226614

	}

]

```

If you set `fuzzy` to `true`, words with a [Levenshtein distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance) `<= 3` will be taken into account. This is a lot slower though:

test | performance

-----|------------

non-fuzzy – `U mehringdamm` | 325 ops/sec

fuzzy – `U mehrigndamm` | 73 ops/sec

Setting `completion` to `false` speeds things up a lot:

test | performance

-----|------------

completion – `U friedr` | 306 ops/sec

no completion – `U friedr` | 5076 ops/sec
