tevale

Tevale is the tiny evaluator of expressions, which accepts a set of variables (named objects with properties) and an expression, validates its syntax and evaluates the expression.

Developed in Codefresh.

Its goal is to allow the evaluations of expressions (in a variable context) so as to generate a boolean true/false result. It was designed to be embeded into scripts that contain various entities and require the evaluation of an expression to make a yes/no decision.

Features

Validation and evaluation of expressions
Supports variables in expressions, including object variables (nesting)
Supports popular functions and operators for number and string manipulation
Supports string searching and regexp matching functions

Installation

$ npm install cf-expression-evaluator --save

Usage

const tevale = require('tevale');
const variables = {
    "author": {
        "name": "Alon Diamant",
        "homepage": "http://www.alondiamant.com",
        "github": {
            "repositories": 12,
            "url": "http://www.github.com/advance512"
        },
    },
    "company": {
        "name": "Codefresh",
        "homepage": "http://www.codefresh.io",
        "phoneNumber": "+972-99-999-9999"
    }
}

console.log(
    tevale.evaluateExpression(
        'match(author.name, "alon", true) && ' +
        'author.github.repositories > 10 && ' +
        'Number(substring(company.phoneNumber, 1, 4)) / 2 == 486',
        variables
    )
);

Reference

Types

Type	Example	True/False
String	"hello" 'there'	Empty string is false: '' Non-empty string is true: 'something' String comparison is lexicographic
Number	5 3.4 1.79E+308	0 is false any non-0 number is true
Boolean	true false	true is true false is false
null	Null	always false

Variables and Members

You can then use the members of each variable.
To access variables that have a non-standard (i.e. only alphanumeric and _ characters) names, use the Variable() function.
To access variable members that have a non-standard (i.e. only alphanumeric and _ characters) names, use the Member() function.

Functions

Function Name	Parameters	Return value	Example
String	0: number or string	string of input value	String(40) == '40'
Number	0: number or string	number of input value	Number('50') == 50 Number('hello') is invalid
Boolean	0: number or string	boolean of input value	Boolean('123') == true Boolean('') == false Boolean(583) == true Boolean(0) == false
round	0: number	rounded number	round(1.3) == 1 round(1.95) == 2

trimLeft	0: string	left trimmed string	trimLeft(" abc ") == "abc "
trimRight	0: string	right trimmed string	trimRight(" abc ") == " abc"
replace	0: string - main string 1: string - substring to find 2: string - substring to replace	replace all instances of the substring (1) in the main string (0) with the substring (2)	replace('hello there', 'e', 'a') == 'hallo thara'
substring	0: string - main string 1: string - index to start 2: string - index to end	returns a substring of a string	substring("hello world", 6, 11) == "world"
length	string	length of a string	length("gump") == 4
includes	0: string - main string 1: string - string to search for	whether a search string is found inside the main string	includes("codefresh", "odef") == true
indexOf	0: string - main string 1: string - string to search for	index of a search string if it is found inside the main string	indexOf("codefresh", "odef") == 1
match	0: string - main string 1: string - regular expression string, JS style 2: boolean - ignore case	search for a regular expression inside a string, ignoring or not ignoring case	match("hello there you", "..ll.", false) == true match("hello there you", "..LL.", false) == false match("hello there you", "hell$", true) == false match("hello there you", "^hell", true) == true match("hello there you", "bye", false) == false
Variable	string	Lookup the value of a variable	Variable('someVariable')
Member	0: string - variable name 1: string - member name	Lookup the value of a member of a variable	Member('someVariable', 'workingDirectory')
