Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Build Status

Simple node.js expression parser and evaluator using shunting-yard and reverse polish notation algorithms.

Expressionify allow to define all operators in expression. Hash of operators must to contain objects with following fields:

  • execute - function that evaluate operator action.

  • priority - operator priority. The higher value the higher priority.

  • type - operator type - 'unary' or 'binary'.

For example, boolean operators will represented as following hash:

var booleanOperators = {
	'|': {
		execute: function(x, y) { return x || y; },
		priority: 1,
		type: 'binary'
	},
	'&': {
		execute: function(x, y) { return x && y; },
		priority: 2,
		type: 'binary'
	},
	'!': {
		execute: function(x) { return !x; },
		priority: 3,
		type: 'unary'
	}
};

Also you must pass parseOperand to evaluate methods. parseOperand will be used to get value of every operand. Operand is a sequence of non-whitespace characters that is not equal to any operator or bracket.

Note: parseOperand must return value compatible with defined operators.

For example, see parseOperand for boolean expressions:

var parseBooleanOperand = function(operand) {
	if (operand === 'true' || operand === '1') {
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
};

API

expressionify exposes function which accepts following parameters:

  • expression String

  • params Object

  • operators - hash of operators. Required.

  • parseOperand - function that will be used to parse every operand.

Returns evaluator function which accepts same expression and params arguments, that allows to override parameters specified during evaluator creation.

Examples

For example, evaluating simple logic expressions using once built evaluator:

var evaluateExpression = expressionify({
	operators: booleanOperators,
	parseOperand: Number
});

var result = evaluateExpression('(1 | 0) & !0');

console.log(result);
// true

result = evaluateExpression('(1 | 0) & !1');

console.log(result);
// false

Another example is evaluating expression that contains variables:

var values = {
	x: true,
	y: false,
	z: false
};

var evaluateExpression = expressionify('(x | y) & !z', {
	operators: booleanOperators,
	parseOperand: function(operand) {
		return values[operand];
	}
});

console.log(evaluateExpression());
// true

values.z = true;
console.log(evaluateExpression());
// false
