> Check if NPM package names conflict.
To prevent [typosquatting](https://blog.npmjs.org/post/163723642530/crossenv-malware-on-the-npm-registry), NPM no longer allows names that [differ from existing packages in punctuation only](https://blog.npmjs.org/post/168978377570/new-package-moniker-rules).
This package checks if package names conflict.
_Note:_
_Package names are not validated. To validate package names, use [validate-package-name](https://www.npmjs.com/package/validate-npm-package-name)._
## Installation
```bash
yarn add package-name-conflict
```
```bash
npm install package-name-conflict
```
## API
```ts
import { conflicts, conflictsAny, transform } from "package-name-conflict";
// Check if two package names conflict:
conflicts("abc.123", "Abc-123"); // true
// Return first conflicting package name in an array:
conflictsAny("abc123", ["test", "test2", "Abc-123"]); // "Abc-123"
conflictsAny("abc123", ["test", "test2"]); // false
// Transform a package name to its simplified form:
transform("Abc-123"); // "abc123"
```
#### Types:
```ts
function transform(name: string): string;
function conflicts(nameA: string, nameB: string): boolean;
function conflictsAny(name: string, names: string[]): string | false;
```
