boolean-ts

Compile time support for runtime logic operations in Typescript

Coming soon!

Non-binary arguments

Currently these functions are binary (excluding b.not(boolean)), meaning they only take two inputs. We'll be looking to extends these to take multiple booleans as arguments for the following functions:

• and
• nan
• or
• nor

Pipeable

A functional programming API that supports piping is a great feature. We'll be adding overloads to support these soon.

If a function requries 2 or more arguments, the first will be partially applied and returns a function that takes the rest.

Installation

// yarn
yarn add boolean-ts

// npm
npm install boolean-ts

Example

import * as b from "boolean-ts";

const value1 = b.not(true); //type is false

const value2 = b.and(true, true); // type is true
const value3 = b.and(true, false); // type is false
const value4 = b.and(false, false); // type is false

const value4 = b.xnor(true, false); // type is true

Theory

Based off information from this website on basic logic gates, we'll document some useful concepts here.

Truth Tables

A truth table is a table that visually demonstrate how the logic gate should work. We'll focus on binary functions. There is a truth table for each operation: and, or, nand, nor, xor, xnor.

And

Outputs true when all inputs are true.

A	B	Result
0	0	0
0	1	0
1	0	0
1	1	1

Or

Outputs true when any input is true.

A	B	Result
0	0	0
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	1

Nand

Opposite of And. Ouputs true when both outputs are not true.

A	B	Result
0	0	1
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	0

Nor

Opposite of Or. Outputs true when both inputs are false

A	B	Result
0	0	1
0	1	0
1	0	0
1	1	0

Xor

Ouputs true when inputs are mismatched true/false.

A	B	Result
0	0	0
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	0

Xnor

Ouputs true when both inputs are true or both inputs are false.

A	B	Result
0	0	1
0	1	0
1	0	0
1	1	1
