calculy v4.0.4

Calculy

Lightweight, zero dependency calculator engine.

Only ≈2kB min + gzipped! ✨

Installation

npm install calculy

Usage

import { calculate } from "calculy";

calculate("1+2(3!)^2"); // 73
calculate("ans*2", { constants: { ans: 3 } }); // 6
calculate("ans^x", { constants: { ans: 3, x: 2 } }); // 9
calculate("cos(90)"); // -0.44807361612
calculate("cos(90)", { deg: true }); // 0

You can also directly include ./dist/calculy.min.js from the npm package. This will make all calculy functions available under the global variable Calculy.

Syntax

Calculy supports most basic algebra that you would need for regular calculations.

API

calculate(code: string, [options: Object]) => number

Will execute the math and give the answer. Can throw a SyntaxError.

Options

• constants: Custom constants (Object.<number>), will override default constants with same name. (default: {})
• deg: Whether to use degrees instead instead of radians for trigonometry functions. (default: false)

tokenize(code: string) => string[]

Will return a list of the tokens that calculy parses. Can come in handy for input validation/formatting.

parse(tokens: string[], [options: Object]) => Expression

Will return the raw AST, useful for custom evaluation. Can throw a SyntaxError.

evaluate(expression: Expression, [options: Object]) => number

Will evaluate a calculation expression;
