API / publicodes

Getting started

npm install publicodes

The library exports a default class Engine which allows you to instantiate an publicodes interpreter with a set of publicodes rules.

import Engine from 'publicodes'
import { parse as parseYaml } from 'yaml'

// We define a list of publicodes rules
const rules = `
dépenses primeur:
  somme:
    - 1.5 kg * 2€/kg    # carottes
    - 500g * 6€/kg      # champignons
    - 3 avocats * 1.5€/avocats
`
const parsedRules = parseYaml(rules)
const engine = new Engine(parsedRules)

const result = engine.evaluate('dépenses primeur')

Classes

Class	Description
Engine	The engine is used to parse rules and evaluate expressions. It is the main entry point to the publicodes library.

Functions

Function	Description
parseExpression	-
parsePublicodes	Parse a set of publicodes rules
parseUnit	Parse a unit string into a Unit object
reduceAST	This function allows to construct a specific value while exploring the AST with a simple reducing function as argument.
serializeEvaluation	Serialize the evaluation of a node into a publicodes expression
serializeUnit	Serialize a unit to a readable string
simplifyNodeUnit	Simplify if possible the unit of a node
transformAST	This function creates a transormation of the AST from on a simpler callback function `fn`
traverseASTNode	Apply a transform function on children. Not recursive.

Namespaces

Namespace	Description
utils	Contains utilities to manipulate publicodes rules by name.

Type Aliases

Type alias	Description
ASTNode	Represents a node in the Abstract Syntax Tree of a publicodes expression.
BinaryOp	-
EngineOptions	Options for the engine constructor
EvaluatedNode	An ASTNode decorated with evaluation information
Evaluation	-
ExprAST	AST of a publicodes expression.
Logger	A logger object that can be passed to the engine to log messages.
ParsedRules	A set of rules that have been parsed from a RawPublicodes object.
Possibility	Represents a single possibility value in a “une possibilité” mechanism. It can be a constant value (string or number), or a reference to an existing rule.
PublicodesExpression	A publicodes expression that can be evaluated by the Engine.
RawPublicodes	Rules as they are output from the compilation step : a javascript object transformed from the yaml files
