average-rating

Calculate average and scoring based on Wilson Score Equation

Setup

• Node.js

  npm i average-rating
  
  # pnpm
  pnpm i average-rating
  
  # yarn
  yarn add average-rating

• CDN

  • ES6 Module: average-rating.esm.js
  • CommonJS: average-rating.js
  • For old browsers: average-rating.min.js

Usage

Node.js:

import {
  score,
  rate,
  average
} from 'average-rating'

// with CommonJS environment
// const { score, rate, average } = require('feed-reader/dist/cjs/average-rating.js')

score(80, 20) // => 0.71
average([134055, 57472, 143135, 365957, 1448459]) // => 4.4
rate([134055, 57472, 143135, 365957, 1448459]) // => 0.84

Note:

Since Node.js v14, ECMAScript modules have became the official standard format. Just ensure that you are using module system and enjoy with ES6 import/export syntax.

Browsers:

Currently ECMAScript modules work fine on almost browsers:

<script type="module">
import { average } from 'https://unpkg.com/average-rating/dist/average-rating.esm.js'

average([134055, 57472, 143135, 365957, 1448459])
</script>

With outdated browsers, we can use traditional way:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/average-rating/dist/average-rating.min.js"></script>

<script>
const { average } = window.AverageRating
average([134055, 57472, 143135, 365957, 1448459])
</script>

Example:

// get Winson score for a pair of (Positive, Negative) voting
score(0, 1000) // --> 0
score(1000, 0) // --> 0.96
score(1000, 1000) // --> 0.48

// from 1 to 5 stars
const rating = [134055, 57472, 143135, 365957, 1448459]
rate(rating) // --> 0.84

// calculate average
average(rating) // --> 4.4

APIs

.score(Number positive, Number negative)

rate(input) // => 0.85

rate([3, 4, 2, 6, 12, 46, 134, 213, 116, 91]) // => 0.74
