How to return string by matching two values with similar characters?
Not much helpful question title. Let me explain: For a search functionality, I use the code below to return items that match a search query:
filter(value: string, query: string): boolean {
return value.toLowerCase().indexOf(query.toLowerCase()) > -1;
}
filteredItems() {
return this.items.filter(i => this.filter(i.value, this.queryString));
}
I have a case where I need to return an item whose value is DIGER if query string's value, containing Turkish characters, is DİĞER and vice versa.
I tried
if(query.includes('ğ') || query.includes('ş') || query.includes('ö') || query.includes('ü') || query.includes('ı') || query.includes('ç')) {
return value.toLowerCase().indexOf(query.replace('ğ', 'g').replace('ş', 's').replace('ö', 'o').replace('ü', 'u').replace('ı', 'i').replace('ç', 'c').toLowerCase()) > -1;
}
Not working quite as I demand, it only converts the Turkish characters, but I couldn't find any solution. How would I accomplish such a task?

The problem looks to be that value.toLowerCase() may still include Turkish, so if the new query is searching for English characters only, it may not be found inside the new value.
One option would be to use an unconditional conversion of both the value and the query to English characters, after which you can use includes to check if the new value (the haystack) .includes the query (needle):
const chars = {
ğ: 'g',
ş: 's',
ö: 'o',
ü: 'u',
ı: 'i',
ç: 'c',
};
const convert = str => str
.replace(/[ğşöüıç]/g, char => chars[char])
.toLowerCase();
filter(value: string, query: string): boolean {
const [replacedValue, replacedQuery] = [value, query].map(convert);
return replacedValue.includes(replacedQuery);
}

To make it work correctly with all cases(for example it didn't find 'YAZIŞMA' when 'yazisma' was searched. I put the toLowerCase() method before replacing the characters. But it solved my problem, accepting this as an answer. Thanks!
