evaluateExpression?

[tb2johm]

In the Readme.md under the heading Custom Language it's described how to evaluate an expression (with new ExpressionParser(arithmeticLanguage).evaluateExpression(expr)).

However I can't get this to work. Looking in the code I can't even see any evaluateExpression.

Have I misunderstood something, or is the documentation faulty?

it's called expressionToValue, docs seem to be faulty

[andras-gyarmati]

yes it's expressionToValue, but then it complains about types are not explicitly written (Parameter 'a' implicitly has an 'any' type), and when I fix that it says that 'ExpressionThunk' is not assignable to type 'number'

[j4k0xb]

theres no way of specifying the thunk/term types
don't think you can do much about it other than cast, ts-ignore or runtime checks

const arithmeticLanguage: ExpressionParserOptions = {
  INFIX_OPS: {
    "+": function (a, b) {
      return (a() as number) + (b() as number);
    },
