algebra-latex

An npm module, with no dependencies, for parsing LaTeX math to a regular math string (ascii math), that can be parsed to other algebra or math libraries like algebrite and algebra.js

Example

const AlgebraLatex = require('algebra-latex')

// Parse from LaTeX ...
const latexInput = '\\frac{1}{\\sqrt{2}}\\cdot x=10'
const algebraObj = new AlgebraLatex().parseLatex(latexInput)

// ... or parse from regular math string
const mathInput = '1/sqrt(2)*x=10'
const algebraObj = new AlgebraLatex().parseMath(mathInput)

console.log(algebraObj.toMath()) // output: 1/sqrt(2)*x=10
console.log(algebraObj.toLatex()) // output: \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot x=10

Parse to other libraries

Supported libraries

• algebra.js
• algebrite
• coffeequate

NOTE: The above libraries are optional, and have to be installed before use

continuing from example above

...

var algebraJS = require('algebra.js')
var algebrite = require('algebrite')
var coffeequate = require('coffeequate')

// For algebra.js
algebraObj.toAlgebra(algebraJS) // Will either return an algebra.js expression or equation

// For algebrite
algebraObject.toAlgebrite(algebrite)

// For coffequate
algebraObject.toCoffeequate(coffeequate)
