Looping over custom simplification rules

[JacobBeaudry]

HI Jos!

I was trying to add some custom simplify rules as objects, with the repeat option (e.g. { l: '-(n1 + n2)', r: '-1 * (n1 + n2)', repeat: true }); however, the SimplifyRule type for objects has been defined to only accept { l: string; r: string } and appears to be missing repeat?: boolean as well as the other options.

As you know, I'm not a programmer, so if there is a simple work-around to this, sorry for bringing it up, unnecessarily!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for bringing this up. So the TypeScript definition SimplifyRule is missing the parameters s, repeat, assuming, and imposeContext. Also, the type definitions of the options argument of simplify is missing consoleDebug and context.

For the time being you can probably use a // @ts-ignore to work around it.

Anyone able to improve the TypeScript definitions?

I notified our team and someone opened a PR. Thanks for the quick reply and work-around! Hope all's well on your end!
