infermap

infermap — TypeScript Examples

Runnable TypeScript examples for the infermap npm package. Each example is self-contained and progressively demonstrates more advanced usage.

Prerequisites

From the repo root:

cd packages/infermap-js
npm install
npm run build
npm link                       # makes `infermap` resolvable from anywhere
cd ../..
npm install --no-save tsx      # runner for TypeScript

Alternatively, run from inside a project that already depends on infermap from npm:

npm install infermap tsx
npx tsx path/to/example.ts

The examples

# File What it shows
01 01_basic_mapping.ts Basic map() call with plain record arrays. The minimum viable integration.
02 02_csv_file_mapping.ts Read CSV files from disk via extractSchemaFromFile (infermap/node), then call MapEngine.mapSchemas.
03 03_config_and_aliases.ts Teach the AliasScorer about domain vocabulary via config.aliases; reweight or disable scorers via config.scorers.
04 04_custom_scorer.ts Define a domain-specific scorer with defineScorer() and plug it into the engine alongside the defaults. Jaccard over prefix/suffix synonyms.
05 05_save_and_reuse.ts Persist a computed mapping to JSON with mapResultToConfigJson and re-hydrate it later with fromConfig — useful for caching expensive mapping computations.
06 06_nextjs_api_route.ts Next.js App Router Route Handler running on the Edge Runtime. Accepts CSV text over HTTP POST, returns a normalized JSON report. Zero Node built-ins.
07 07_database_mapping.ts Connect to a SQLite database, extract its schema via extractDbSchema, and map it onto a canonical target loaded from a JSON schema definition file. Requires better-sqlite3.
