GitHub Actions Pricing Whiplash: Self-Hosted Actions Billing Change Postponed
GitHub postponed a new billing model for self-hosted Actions after developer pushback, but moved forward with hosted runner price cuts on January 1.
3xpr is an extensible expression evaluator and parser.
Besides the operators, functions, variables, objects and arrays that are supported.
It is possible to extend it with your own functions, operators, etc
import { expressions as exp } from '3xpr'
const context = {
name: 'Spain',
region: 'Europe',
phoneCode: '34',
timezones: [
{ name: 'Madrid', offset: 1, pos: { lat: 40.4165, log: -3.70256 } },
{ name: 'Ceuta', offset: 1, pos: { lat: 35.8883, log: -5.3162 } },
{ name: 'Canary', offset: 0, pos: { lat: 28.1248, log: -15.43 } }
]
}
const result = exp.eval('5*(7+9)==(5*7+5*9)')
console.log(result)
// Output: true
// use context
exp.eval('toNumber(phoneCode) <= 30', context)
// false
// template
exp.eval('`${name} belongs to ${region}`', context)
// 'Spain belongs to Europe'
exp.eval('timezones.filter(p => substring(p.name,0,1)=="C")', context)
// ['{"name":"Ceuta","offset":1,"pos":{"lat":35.8883,"log":-5.3162}}'
// ,'{"name":"Canary","offset":0,"pos":{"lat":28.1248,"log":-15.43}}']
exp.eval('timezones.filter(p => p.offset == 1).sort(p => p.pos.lat).name', context)
// ['Ceuta','Madrid']
exp.eval('stringify(timezones.first(p => p.name == "Madrid").pos)', context)
// '{"lat":40.4165,"log":-3.70256}'
exp.eval('timezones.filter(p => p.pos.lat > 30 && p.pos.log > -4).pos.lat', context)
// [40.4165]
exp.eval('sort(timezones.name)', context)
// ['Canary','Ceuta','Madrid']
exp.eval('timezones[0].name', context)
// 'Madrid'
exp.eval('round(timezones.first(p=> p.name =="Madrid").pos.lat - timezones.first(p=> p.name =="Ceuta").pos.lat,2)', context)
// 4.55
exp.eval('timezones.each(p => p.pos={lat:round(p.pos.lat,2),log:round(p.pos.log,2)}).map(p=> stringify(p))', context)
// ['{"name":"Madrid","offset":1,"pos":{"lat":40.4,"log":-3.7}}'
// ,'{"name":"Ceuta","offset":1,"pos":{"lat":35.9,"log":-5.3}}'
// ,'{"name":"Canary","offset":0,"pos":{"lat":28.1,"log":-15.45}}']
exp.eval(`
list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
total = 0;
for (i = 0; i < list.length(); i += 1) {
total += list[i];
}
`, context)
console.log(context.total)
// 45
exp.eval(`
while (p=timezones.pop()) {
console(p);
}
`, context)
// outputs:
// {"name":"Canary","offset":0,"pos":{"lat":28.1,"log":-15.45}}
// {"name":"Ceuta","offset":1,"pos":{"lat":35.9,"log":-5.3}}
// {"name":"Madrid","offset":1,"pos":{"lat":40.4,"log":-3.7}}
You can extend the library by adding enums, constants, formats, operators, and functions. To do this, use the following functions:
import { expressions as exp } from '3xpr'
const CryptoJS = require('crypto-js')
exp.addFunction(
'encrypt(value:string):string',
(value: string, key:string):string => CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(value, key).toString(),
{ description: 'Encrypt a string' }
)
exp.addFunction(
'decrypt(value:string):string',
(value: string, key:string):string => CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(value, key).toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8),
{ description: 'Decrypt a string' }
)
Full documentation is available in the Wiki.
