@revisium/formula

Formula expression parser and evaluator for Revisium.

Specification • API Reference

Installation

npm install @revisium/formula

Usage

import { parseExpression, evaluate } from '@revisium/formula';

// Simple arithmetic
parseExpression('price * 1.1');
// { minVersion: "1.0", features: [], dependencies: ["price"] }
evaluate('price * 1.1', { price: 100 });
// 110

// Nested object paths
parseExpression('stats.damage * multiplier');
// { minVersion: "1.1", features: ["nested_path"], dependencies: ["stats.damage", "multiplier"] }
evaluate('stats.damage * multiplier', { stats: { damage: 50 }, multiplier: 2 });
// 100

// Array index access
parseExpression('items[0].price + items[1].price');
// { minVersion: "1.1", features: ["array_index", "nested_path"], dependencies: ["items[0].price", "items[1].price"] }
evaluate('items[0].price + items[1].price', { items: [{ price: 10 }, { price: 20 }] });
// 30

// Comparisons
evaluate('price > 100', { price: 150 });
// true

// Fields named like functions
evaluate('max(max, 0)', { max: 10 });
// 10 (max() function is called with field "max" as argument)

evaluate('max(max - field.min, 0)', { max: 100, field: { min: 20 } });
// 80

// Type inference
import { inferFormulaType } from '@revisium/formula';

inferFormulaType('price * quantity', { price: 'number', quantity: 'number' });
// 'number'

inferFormulaType('price > 100');
// 'boolean'

// Array item formulas with path resolution
import { evaluateWithContext } from '@revisium/formula';

// Absolute path: /field always resolves from root data
evaluateWithContext('price * (1 + /taxRate)', {
  rootData: { taxRate: 0.1, items: [{ price: 100 }] },
  itemData: { price: 100 },
  currentPath: 'items[0]'
});
// 110

// Relative path: ../field resolves from parent (root)
evaluateWithContext('price * (1 - ../discount)', {
  rootData: { discount: 0.2, items: [] },
  itemData: { price: 100 },
  currentPath: 'items[0]'
});
// 80
