Truth Table

🔍 | What can this do?

This project is based on AST (Abstract Syntax Tree). It can both generate the AST and validate the syntax of the input, transforming it into a consumable data structure to generate any type of representation, such as CSV tables. In case of an error, it is possible to handle the error, allowing the display of the line and column where a syntax error is present. Below is an example of how to work with this library:

💫 Main Features:

• Syntax validation and error location reporting
• Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) generation
• Support for generating truth tables from parsed logic expressions
• Flexible output formats (e.g., CSV)

🚀 | Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps:

Prerequisites Node.js (v20+ recommended)

Installation

npm i truth-table-ast
#OR
npm i -g truth-table-ast

📚 | Usage

After installing this package globally, you can use the following commands:

📟 | Terminal:

tt -p "p ˅ (p ^ q)"
# Or use this if your operating system doesn't detect the package
npx truth-table -p "p ˅ (p ^ q)" -o table.csv

📄 | Help:

Usage: tt [options]

  Options:

   -h --help        Show all available arguments
   -o --output      File where the truth table will be saved
   -d --display     How the data will be displayed in the table, supports: boolean, number
   -t --type        Type of file the table will be saved in (csv | text)
   -p --proposition Define proposition to generate truth table

👨‍💻 | Code:

Here's an example of how to work with this library:

// ESM:
import { AST, Structure, Table } from 'truth-table-ast'
// Communjs:
// const { AST, Structure, Table } = require('truth-table-ast')

// In communjs, you'll need to put the code in an anonymous function for the asynchronous functions to work
// void (async () => {
  // code here
// })()

const input = 'p ^ (p v ~q)'
const parser = new AST(input)
const ast = parser.parse()

if (isError(ast)) throw new Error(JSON.stringify(ast, null, 2))
await parser.save('ast.json')

const structure = new Structure(ast).generate()
await structure.save('structure.json')

const table = new Table({
  structure,
  display: 'boolean',
  // type: 'csv'
})//.create('table.csv')

// const content = table.csv()
// const content = table.markdown()

table.type = 'markdown'
await table.create('table.md')

table.type = 'csv'
await table.create('table.csv')

📜 | AST:

The AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) generated from the input of p ^ (p v ~q):

[
  {
    "value": "p",
    "type": "Proposition",
    "negatived": false,
    "loc": {
      "start": {
        "line": 1,
        "column": 0
      },
      "end": {
        "line": 1,
        "column": 0
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "type": "Operation",
    "value": "^",
    "key": "Conjunction",
    "loc": {...}
  },
  {
    "type": "SubExpression",
    "body": [
      {
        "value": "p",
        "type": "Proposition",
        "negatived": false,
        "loc": {...}
      },
      {
        "type": "Operation",
        "value": "v",
        "key": "Disjunction",
        "loc": {...}
      },
      {
        "value": "q",
        "type": "Proposition",
        "negatived": true,
        "loc": {...}
      }
    ],
    "negatived": false,
    "loc": {...}
  }
]

📃 | Structure:

The structured data generated from the AST to generate the truth table:

[
  {
    "type": "Variable",
    "element": "p",
    "value": true,
    "column": 0,
    "row": 0,
    "position": "0x0"
  },
  {
    "type": "Variable",
    "element": "q",
    "value": true,
    "column": 1,
    "row": 0,
    "position": "0x1"
  },
  {
    "type": "VariableNegative",
    "element": "~q",
    "value": false,
    "column": 2,
    "row": 0,
    "position": "0x2"
  },
  {
    "type": "Result",
    "element": "(p v ~q)",
    "value": true,
    "column": 3,
    "row": 0,
    "position": "0x3"
  },
  {
    "type": "Result",
    "element": "p ^ (p v ~q)",
    "value": true,
    "column": 4,
    "row": 0,
    "position": "0x4"
  },
  {...}
]

📋 | Truth Table:

p	q	~q	(p v ~q)	p ^ (p v ~q)
true	true	false	true	true
true	false	true	true	true
false	true	false	false	false
false	false	true	true	false
