# levenshtein
levenshtein automaton
This package makes it fast and simple to build a finite determinic automaton that computes the levenshtein distance from a given string.
# Sample usage:
```
// build a re-usable builder
lb := NewLevenshteinAutomatonBuilder(2, false)
origTerm := "couchbasefts"
dfa := lb.BuildDfa("couchbases", 2)
ed := dfa.eval([]byte(origTerm))
if ed.distance() != 2 {
log.Errorf("expected distance 2, actual: %d", ed.distance())
}
```
This implementation is inspired by [blog post](https://fulmicoton.com/posts/levenshtein/) and is intended to be
a port of original rust implementation: https://github.com/tantivy-search/levenshtein-automata
Micro Benchmark Results against the current vellum/levenshtein is as below.
