How To Install libjs-sifter.js on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libjs-sifter.js on Kali Linux.

What is libjs-sifter.js

libjs-sifter.js is:

Sifter is a client and server-side library (via UMD) for textually searching arrays and hashes of objects by property ?? or multiple properties. It’s designed specifically for autocomplete. The process is three-step: score, filter, sort.

• Supports d??crit??s.

  For example, if searching for “montana” and an item in the set has a value of “monta?a”, it will still be matched. Sorting will also play nicely with diacritics.

• Smart scoring.

  Items are scored / sorted intelligently depending on where a match is found in the string (how close to the beginning) and what percentage of the string matches.

• Multi-field sorting.

  When scores aren’t enough to go by ?? like when getting results for an empty query ?? it can sort by one or more fields. For example, sort by a person’s first name and last name without actually merging the properties to a single string.

• Nested properties.

  Allows one to search and sort on nested properties so you can perform search on complex objects without flattening them simply by using dot-notation to reference fields (ie. nested.property).
