npm install game-name-suggester

• Matches anywhere in name ("auto" → "Grand Theft Auto V")
• Matches initials ("gtav" → "Grand Theft Auto V")
• Case-insensitive by default
• Blazing fast (local JSON, no API calls)
• with over 10000 game-names

Input

getGameSuggestions(query)

• query — a string you want to search for.

  ...
]

const getGameSuggestions = require('game-name-suggester');

console.log(getGameSuggestions("cod"));
// ["Call of Duty"]

console.log(getGameSuggestions("gtav"));
// ["Grand Theft Auto V"]

You can modify pc_games_fast.json to include:

• More games
• Custom games
• Alternative spellings

Just ensure each entry has a "name" key.
