π― Use case
This file lives under βnative-ts/β, which covers Node-side helpers (indexing, diffs, small native-style utilities). On the API surface it exposes SearchResult, FileIndex, yieldToEventLoop, and CHUNK_MS β mainly types, interfaces, or factory objects. What the file header says: Pure-TypeScript port of vendor/file-index-src (Rust NAPI module). The native module wraps nucleo (https://github.com/helix-editor/nucleo) for high-performance fuzzy file searching. This port reimplements the same API and scoring behavior without native dependencies. Key API: new.
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.
π§ Inline summary
Pure-TypeScript port of vendor/file-index-src (Rust NAPI module). The native module wraps nucleo (https://github.com/helix-editor/nucleo) for high-performance fuzzy file searching. This port reimplements the same API and scoring behavior without native dependencies. Key API: new FileIndex() .loadFromFileList(fileList: string[]): void β dedupe + index paths .search(query: string, limit: number): SearchResult[] Score semantics: lower = better. Score is position-in-results / result-count, so the best match is 0.0. Paths containing "test" get a 1.05Γ penalty (capped at 1.0) so non-test files rank slightly higher.
