trie-autocompletion

Word autocompletion algorithm that uses tries (prefix trees) for storing dictionaries

Algorithm

The specification of algorithm is presented in the ALGORITHM.md file. It also contains design principles, clarifications and description of possible soft spots and improvements.

React webapp demo

There is a demo of autocompletion system that uses the algorithm.

Running the react demo

1. Make sure you have installed Node.js (>=19.8.1) and Yarn.

2. Go to the react-demo directory:

    $ cd react-demo

3. Install required dependencies:

    $ yarn install

4. Run the app

   yarn start

Demo app should open automatically in your browser. If not, type localhost:3000 in the URL bar and hit the enter button.

Building the react demo

1. Make sure you have installed Node.js (>=19.8.1) and Yarn.

2. Go to the react-demo directory:

    $ cd react-demo

3. Install required dependencies:

    $ yarn install

4. Build the project:

    $ yarn build

CLI implementation in Go

In the go-implementation directory, there is a simple example application that showcases a possible CLI program autocompletion feature.

Running the CLI implementation

1. Make sure that you have installed Go (>=1.20).

2. Go to the go-implementation directory:

   $ cd go-implementation

3. Run the application:

   $ go run .

All dependencies should be installed automatically.
