import type { Matcher, TextQuoteSelector } from '@apache-annotator/selector';
/**
 * Find occurrences in a text matching the given {@link
 * TextQuoteSelector}.
 *
 * This performs an exact search for the selector’s quote (including prefix and
 * suffix) within the text contained in the given scope (a  {@link
 * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Range | Range}).
 *
 * Note the match is based on strict character-by-character equivalence, i.e.
 * it is sensitive to whitespace, capitalisation, etc.
 *
 * The function is curried, taking first the selector and then the scope.
 *
 * As there may be multiple matches for a given selector (when its prefix and
 * suffix attributes are not sufficient to disambiguate it), the matcher will
 * return an (async) generator that produces each match in the order they are
 * found in the text.
 *
 * *XXX Modifying the DOM (e.g. to highlight the text) while the search is still
 * running can mess up and result in an error or an infinite loop. See [issue
 * #112](https://github.com/apache/incubator-annotator/issues/112).*
 *
 * @example
 * ```
 * // Find the word ‘banana’.
 * const selector = { type: 'TextQuoteSelector', exact: 'banana' };
 * const scope = document.body;
 *
 * // Read all matches.
 * const matches = textQuoteSelectorMatcher(selector)(scope);
 * for await (match of matches) console.log(match);
 * // ⇒ Range { startContainer: #text, startOffset: 187, endContainer: #text,
 * //   endOffset: 193, … }
 * // ⇒ Range { startContainer: #text, startOffset: 631, endContainer: #text,
 * //   endOffset: 637, … }
 * ```
 *
 * @param selector - The {@link TextQuoteSelector} to be anchored.
 * @returns A {@link Matcher} function that applies `selector` within a given
 * `scope`.
