MissPlete
MissPlete is a misspelling-tolerant autocomplete written in ECMAScript 2015, aka ECMAScript 6 (ES6).
It supports synonyms and it can be customized with any algorithm to select and sort the completions. By default it uses a Jaro–Winkler distance algorithm, which allows for better sloppy interaction than the usual completion based on exact substring matches.
Less than 220 lines of code. No dependencies.

Installation
npm install miss-plete --save
The library is published to the npm registry transpiled to ES5 and UMD, so it can be used in ES5 (examples/es5/) and ES6 (examples/es6/).
Usage
import MissPlete from './MissPlete.js';
new MissPlete({
input: document.querySelector('input[name="city"]'),
// Each subarray contains an option and all its synonyms
options: [["Barcelona", "BCN"], ["San Francisco", "SF"]],
// OPTIONAL
// It must return an object with at least the properties `score` and
// `displayValue`.
// Default is a Jaro–Winkler similarity function.
scoreFn: (inputValue, optionSynonyms) => {
// Crazy random example
const score = Math.random();
return { score: score, displayValue: `${optionSynonyms[0]} (${score})` };
},
// OPTIONAL
// Called for each scored option, in order, starting with the one with the
// greatest score. It's passed the scored option (as returned by scoreFn)
// and its index in the score-sorted list. It must return the <li> node
// to display, or null if nothing else has to be displayed.
// Default returns <li> nodes for the 8 best-scored options.
listItemFn: (scoredOption, itemIndex) => {
const li = scoredOption.score < 0.5 ? null : document.createElement("li");
li && li.appendChild(document.createTextNode(scoredOption.displayValue));
return li;
}
