Function import #

Import functions from an object or a module.

This function is only available on a mathjs instance created using create.

Syntax #

math.import(functions)
math.import(functions, options)

Where #

• functions: Object An object with functions or factories to be imported.
• options: Object An object with import options. Available options:
  • override: boolean If true, existing functions will be overwritten. False by default.
  • silent: boolean If true, the function will not throw errors on duplicates or invalid types. False by default.
  • wrap: boolean If true, the functions will be wrapped in a wrapper function which converts data types like Matrix to primitive data types like Array. The wrapper is needed when extending math.js with libraries which do not support these data type. False by default.

import { create, all } from 'mathjs'
import * as numbers from 'numbers'

// create a mathjs instance
const math = create(all)

// define new functions and variables
math.import({
  myvalue: 42,
  hello: function (name) {
    return 'hello, ' + name + '!'
  }
})

// use the imported function and variable
math.myvalue * 2               // 84
math.hello('user')             // 'hello, user!'

// import the npm module 'numbers'
// (must be installed first with `npm install numbers`)
math.import(numbers, {wrap: true})

math.fibonacci(7) // returns 13
