FDP - FD Preprocessor reduction system

A Finite Domain Preprocessor term reduction system, forked from finitedomain where I tentatively started doing it.

This is my personal fork of the finitedomain library from when I stopped working on it.

Part of the fdq package. See its description for a complete overview of this suite and how to run tests and all that.

This is very much a WIP but might not be very actively maintained.

REPL

There's an online playground with a not-necessarily-up-to-date build where you can experiment with this package. This web version currently does not work in Edge nor Safari nor any other browser that does not support the TextEncoder class. The page is just a simple UI and a WIP.

The repo also contains an example Sudoku solver, a Battleships solver, and, Tents puzzle solver. I was working on Hitori but my approach simply takes too long to solve so that one isn't very useful.

Installing

npm install fdp

Usage

Find all numbers between 10 and 20 that are bigger than 14 and smaller than 17 and not 16. Contrived? Nah.

import FDP from 'fdp';

let solution = FDP.solve(`
  : A [10 20]
  A > 14
  A < 17
  A != 16
`);

console.log(solution); // -> {A: 15}

For the DSL syntax see the docs in fdq. For other details see the extensive test suite in fdh.

Tasks

There are a few grunt tasks and bash scripts hooked up to npm. This repo also uses git hooks for pre- and post commit hooks.

As a general rule, ./build is used for any temporary output, including code coverage reports and temporary build files when producing a dist.

Then ./dist only contains final builds (./dist/fdp.dist.min.js and for some tasks ./dist/fdp.js).

Note that both ./build and ./dist are cleared at the start of almost every (grunt) task.

(These tasks obviously require an npm install)

Grunt tasks:

• grunt clean: removes ./dist and ./build
• grunt build: a direct alias for dist
• grunt dist: lint, test, build, and minify to produce a real dist build
• grunt distq: create a dist but skip linting, testing, and code coverage. Also produces a copy in ./dist/fdp.js
• grunt distbug: creates a build without removing test artifacts or minification. In case you need proper stack traces in other projects.
• grunt distheat: creates a dist but instead of minification as the last step it beautifies. Used for HeatFiler, a count based heatmap profiler. Copies to fdp.js.
• grunt coverage: runs all tests in the code coverage tool
• grunt test: runs linting and all tests
• grunt testq: runs tests without linting
• grunt testtb: testq but fail fast
• grunt watch:q: runs distq whenever a file changes
• grunt watch:h: runs distheat whenever a file changes
• grunt watch:b: runs distbug whenever a file changes
• grunt watch:t: runs testq whenever a file changes
• grunt watch:tb: runs testtb whenever a file changes

Bash / npm scripts:

• npm run lint: run eslint with dist config (slightly stricter than dev). Exits non-zero if it fails.
• npm run lintdev: run eslint with dev config (allows console.log, debugger, etc). No non-zero exit for failures.
• npm run lintfix: runs eslint in the fix mode
