Evaluate Numerical Expressions

Installation

npm install --save eval-num-expr

Usage

import evalExpr from "eval-num-expr";

const value = evalExpr("100 + 3 * 55 + 73 - 73 * 18%");
// value = 324.86

// With Invalid Expressions handling
try {
  const value = evalExpr("100 + (3 * 55");
} catch (e) {
  // Will throw an exception for invalid expressions
  console.error(e.message);
}

You can use basic operations (e.g. +, -, *, /, %, ^ etc.) in you expressions.

Examples

• 175 + 40 + 18% = 253.7
• 10 + (100 - 100 * 18%) * 5 + 40 / 20 = 422

NOTE: Floating points must be handled carefully. Use Number(<number>).toFixed(<digits>) to fix the digits after decimal point.
