Optimality NPM

Optimality

Optimality is a TypeScript package which implements common constraints from Optimality Theory and provides a clear, typed interface for reasoning about them.

const input = "hen"
const candidates = [{
    word: "hen",
    correspondence: [0, 1, 2]
}, {
    word: "he",
    correspondence: [0, 1, null]
}]
const constraints = [MAX, NOCODA]
const result = EVAL(input, candidates, constraints)

Installation

For Yarn:

$ yarn add optimality

For NPM:

$ npm install optimality
