Blitz is a very simple and fast alphabetical auto complete engine that makes heavy use of Redis ordered sets.
You can add as many words as you want, even millions, without a noticable impact on performance. As long as you don't run out of space under your Redis instance, Blitz should be lightning fast.
require 'hiredis' # optional
connection = Redis.new
client = Blitz.init(connection: connection, namespace: 'test', min_length: 1)
client.load(*words)
matches = client.complete(prefix, 3)- connection: a Redis connection, default is trying to connect to a local instance
- namespace: an identifier in case you want to maintain several lists simultaneously. default is
default - min_length: The minimum length length of the prefix to match against. Important when you add words. You might need to reimport the list if you decide to change the value. default is 3.
- Add support for frequency based ordering
