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.

Addition & Substraction

2+2 = 4

2-2 = 0

Multiplication & Division

2*2 = 4

1/2 = 0.5

Exponents

2^2 = 4

Grouping

2^(2+1) = 8

4*5-2^2-3 = 1

Constants

e ≈ 2.718281828459045

π or pi ≈ 3.141592653589793

φ or phi ≈ 1.618033988749895

τ or tau ≈ 6.283185307179586

Custom constants

ans*2 = 3 (if the provided constant ans is 3) x^2 = 16 (if the provided constant x is 4)

Shorthand multiplication

Roots

√(9) or √(9, 2) or sqrt(9) = 3

√(27, 3) or cbrt(27) = 3

√(81, 4) = 3

Logarithms

log(100) or log(100, 10) = 2

log(8, 2) = 3

ln(e) or log(e, e) = 3

Trigonometry

atan(0.5) ≈ 0.4636476090008061

Other functions

rand() = random number between 0 and 1

rand(2) = random number between 0 and 2

rand(2, 5) = random number between 2 and 5

round(2.6) = 3

floor(2.6) = 2

ceil(2.2) = 3

ceil(2.2) = 3

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;
