+ # Cadence
2
+
3
+ A safe, deterministic expression engine for user-generated content.
4
+
5
+ Cadence is a lightweight, sandboxed expression evaluator designed for TTRPG systems and other applications that need to safely execute user-defined calculations without the risks of arbitrary code execution.
6
+
7
+ ## Features
8
+
9
+ - **Deterministic Evaluation**: Consistent results for the same inputs every time
10
+ - **Safe Sandbox**: No file system access, no arbitrary function execution, no side effects
11
+ - **Type-Safe**: Built with TypeScript for robust type checking
12
+ - **Array Operations**: Built-in helpers for sum, count, min, max, avg, any, all
13
+ - **Math Functions**: Support for floor, ceil, abs, round, and more
14
+ - **Conditional Logic**: Ternary operators and boolean operations
15
+ - **Variable Binding**: Assign intermediate results with named variables
16
+
17
+ ## Installation
18
+
19
+ ```bash
20
+ npm install @bardsballad/cadence
21
+ ```
22
+
23
+ ## Quick Start
24
+
25
+ ```typescript
26
+ import { runCadence } from '@bardsballad/cadence';
27
+
28
+ const program = `
29
+ floor((score - 10) / 2) [modifier];
30
+ modifier < 0 ? "-" : "+" [sign];
31
+ sign + abs(modifier)
32
+ `;
33
+
34
+ const result = runCadence(program, { score: 14 });
35
+ console.log(result); // "+2"
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ ## Syntax
39
+
40
+ ### Basic Expressions
41
+
42
+ ```typescript
43
+ // Arithmetic
44
+ 2 + 3 * 4
45
+ 10 - 5
46
+ 20 / 4
47
+ 3 * 3
48
+
49
+ // Comparison
50
+ x > 5
51
+ y <= 10
52
+ a === b
53
+ c !== d
54
+
55
+ // Boolean Logic
56
+ true && false
57
+ true || false
58
+ !condition
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ ### Variable Binding
62
+
63
+ Use square brackets to bind intermediate results:
64
+
65
+ ```typescript
66
+ score - 10 [adjusted];
67
+ adjusted / 2 [halved];
68
+ floor(halved)
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ ### Conditionals
72
+
73
+ Ternary operator for conditional evaluation:
74
+
75
+ ```typescript
76
+ x > 5 ? "big" : "small"
77
+ score >= 20 ? 10 : score >= 10 ? 5 : 0
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ ### Array Operations
81
+
82
+ ```typescript
83
+ // Available helpers
84
+ sum([1, 2, 3]) // 6
85
+ count([a, b, c]) // 3
86
+ min([5, 2, 8]) // 2
87
+ max([5, 2, 8]) // 8
88
+ avg([10, 20, 30]) // 20
89
+ any([false, false, true]) // true
90
+ all([true, true, false]) // false
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ ### Math Functions
94
+
95
+ ```typescript
96
+ floor(3.7) // 3
97
+ ceil(3.2) // 4
98
+ round(3.5) // 4 (banker's rounding)
99
+ abs(-5) // 5
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ ## API
103
+
104
+ ### `runCadence(program: string, input: Record<string, any>): any`
105
+
106
+ Executes a Cadence program with the provided input variables.
107
+
108
+ **Parameters:**
109
+ - `program`: The expression string to evaluate
110
+ - `input`: An object containing variables available to the program
111
+
112
+ **Returns:** The result of evaluating the final expression
113
+
114
+ **Example:**
115
+
116
+ ```typescript
117
+ const damage = runCadence(
118
+ `base_damage + (strength_modifier > 0 ? strength_modifier : 0)`,
119
+ { base_damage: 8, strength_modifier: 3 }
120
+ ); // 11
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ ## Examples
124
+
125
+ ### D&D Ability Modifier Calculation
126
+
127
+ ```typescript
128
+ import { runCadence } from '@bardsballad/cadence';
129
+
130
+ const modifier = runCadence(
131
+ `floor((ability_score - 10) / 2)`,
132
+ { ability_score: 16 }
133
+ ); // 3
134
+ ```
135
+
136
+ ### Damage Calculation with Modifiers
137
+
138
+ ```typescript
139
+ const damage = runCadence(
140
+ `base_damage [d];
141
+ d + strength_mod + (is_critical ? d : 0)`,
142
+ { base_damage: 6, strength_mod: 2, is_critical: true }
143
+ ); // 14
144
+ ```
145
+
146
+ ### Complex Conditional Pricing
147
+
148
+ ```typescript
149
+ const price = runCadence(
150
+ `base_price [b];
151
+ quantity > 100 ? b * 0.9 : quantity > 10 ? b * 0.95 : b`,
152
+ { base_price: 100, quantity: 50 }
153
+ ); // 95
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ ## Safety
157
+
158
+ Cadence enforces strict safety boundaries:
159
+
160
+ - **No Global Access**: Variables must be explicitly passed via the `input` object
161
+ - **No Function Definition**: Users cannot define custom functions
162
+ - **No Mutations**: All operations are pure and side-effect free
163
+ - **No External Calls**: No file system, network, or environment access
164
+ - **Type Validation**: Helper functions validate argument types
165
+
166
+ This makes Cadence suitable for user-facing expression editors where you need to prevent malicious or accidental code execution.
