Expression.Eval (expression v2.41.4)
Expression.Eval is responsible for taking an abstract syntax tree (AST) as generated by Expression.Parser and evaluating it.
At a high level, an AST consists of a Keyword list with two top-level
keys, either :text
or :expression
.
Expression.Eval.eval!/3
will return the output for each entry in the Keyword
list. :text
entries are returned as regular strings. :expression
entries
are returned as typed values.
The returned value is a list containing each.
Example
iex(1)> Expression.Eval.eval!([text: "hello"], %{})
["hello"]
iex(2)> Expression.Eval.eval!([text: "hello", expression: [literal: 1]], %{})
["hello", 1]
iex(3)> Expression.Eval.eval!([
...(3)> text: "hello",
...(3)> expression: [literal: 1],
...(3)> text: "ok",
...(3)> expression: [literal: true]
...(3)> ], %{})
["hello", 1, "ok", true]
Summary
Functions
Return the default value for a potentially complex value.
Parses a given value into a number, being an integer or a float. If the given value is not able to be parsed, then it returns the raw value.
Functions

Complex values can be Maps that have a __value__
key, if that's
returned then we can to use the __value__
value when eval'ing against
operators or functions.
