minifzf -q "<Your Query>"

Returned most relevant item.

mfzf -q "<Your Query>" -1

Select from Standard Input.

No UNIX support for now (Throws [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device because minifzf uses sshkeyboard which utilizes termios library.)

cat filename | minifzf

Library Usage:

Initiating selector with headers and rows.

from minifzf import Selector
from pathlib import Path

selector = Selector(
    headers=['files'],
    rows=[[str(p)] for p in Path.cwd().glob('*')])
selected = selector.select()

Initating selector with mappings.

from minifzf import Selector

mappings = [
    {"id": "51009", "name": "Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season"},
    {"id": "40748", "name": "Jujutsu Kaisen"},
    {"id": "48561", "name": "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie"}
]
selector = Selector.from_mappings(mappings=mappings)
selected = selector.select()

Initiating a path selector.

from minifzf import Selector
from pathlib import Path

path_selector = Selector.as_path_selector(
    directory=Path('path/to/directory'), recursive=False)
selected = path_selector.select()
