voll

Boolean expressions evaluator.

voll is based mayority bool but improved in some aspects:

• Exact word matching.
• Insensitive comparison support.
• Detect words based on unicode ranges.
• Caching level for speed up AST evaluation.
• Detect quotes words using scape quotes (' or ") for exact matches.
• Operators alias (example: red+yellow means the same than red OR yellow).

Install

$ npm install voll --save

Usage

var voll = require('voll')
var test = voll('(red OR blue) AND (orange OR yellow)')
 
test('red') //=> false
test('yellow') //=> false
test('red yellow') //=> true

You can build complex expressions as you need. Use parentheses to specify the preference:

((red OR blue) AND NOT (orange OR yellow)) OR orange

In other case the preference is left to right. Also it handles malformed expressions. For example:

((red OR blue) AND NOT (orange yellow)) OR orange

Produces the follow error:

SyntaxError: Parse error on line 1:
...ue) AND NOT (orange yellow)) OR orange
