Javascript based string expression evaluation library.

This library can evaluate a string expression and return the result. It supports basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulus. It also supports variables and functions.

Installation

yarn

yarn add js-expression-eval

npm

npm install js-expression-eval

Usage

Import

import jsExpressionEval from 'js-expression-eval';
const { ExpressionParser } = jsExpressionEval;

Syntax

const parser = new ExpressionParser(expression:string, variables);
const result = parser.evaluate();

Basic arithmetic operations

import jsExpressionEval from 'js-expression-eval';
const { ExpressionParser } = jsExpressionEval;
const parser = new ExpressionParser('2 + 3');
const result = parser.evaluate();
console.log(result); // 5

Variables

const parser = new ExpressionParser('x + y.z', { x: 2, y: { z: 3 } });
const result = parser.evaluate();
console.log(result); // 5

Functions

const parser = new ExpressionParser('A + B', { A: 2, B: () => 3 });
const result = parser.evaluate();
console.log(result); // 5

Function with method chaining

const parser = new ExpressionParser('A.B + A.C' ,
{ 
    A: (identifier) => {
    switch (identifier) {
        case 'B':
            return 2;
        case 'C':
            return 3;
        }
    }
});
const result = parser.evaluate();
console.log(result); // 5

Predefined functions

By default the parser has list predefined functions.

1. Array Functions
2. Math Functions
3. Average Functions
4. Conditional Functions
5. Logical Functions
