@valraiso-esf/expression-parser v1.1.6

expression-parser

An expression evaluator written in typescript with the goal to support SQL like WHERE clauses.

Installation

npm install --save @valraiso-esf/expression-parser

Supported Operations and Functions

Arithmetics

SQL

• IS NULL

• CASE WHEN expression THEN expression [WHEN expression] [ELSE expression] END

Functions

Currently only function that is evaluated is the LENGTH(variable) function but supports function calls at the parser level so it is fairly easy to add more SQL functions.

Examples

/** Basic Math **/
evaluate('1+2'));
// 3
evaluate('10 + 2 * 6'));
// 22
evaluate('100 * 2 + 12'));
// 212
evaluate('100 * ( 2 + 12 )'));
// 1400
evaluate('100 * ( 2 + 12 ) / 14'));
// 100


/** Basic Math With Variable Substitution**/

const context = {
  a: 1, b: 2, c: 10, d: 6, e: 100, f: 12, g: 14,
};

evaluateObject('a+b', context));
// 3
evaluateObject('c + b * d', context));
// 22
evaluateObject('e * b + f', context));
// 212
evaluateObject('e * ( b + f )', context));
// 1400
evaluateObject('e * ( b + f ) / g', context));
// 100
