Introduction

The goal of this package is, to detect file renames based on the file contents, similar to the way git does it. Files and contents are provided as javascript object, so this module should not need to access file system and may even work in a browser.

Example

var detect = require("detect-rename.js");

console.log(detect({
   "abc": "Lorem ipsum sit desc",
   "cde": "Lorem ipsum sit incro",
   "qwertz": "poiu",
   "cdeg": "Lorem ipsum sit incroa"
},{
   "abcd": "Lorem ipsum sit desca",
   "cdef": "Lorem ipsum sit incro",
   "qwertz": "poiu"
}));

Output:

{
cdef: { from: 'cde', sim: 1 },
abcd: { from: 'abc', sim: 0.9629629629629629 }
}

See the jsdoc comment for options

Changes

####0.0.1

• Initial checkin

####0.1.0

• Changed the output to use the target file as object key. This is more useful, because this is what the target file is like in the currently.

Please note that this api is still experimental until version 1.0. Feedback is welcome, although I cannot guarantee any response times at the moment.
