About

JavaScript vector library.

A set of classes that provide functionality related to basic linear-algebra, geometry, and more, for 2, 3, and 4-dimensional vectors.

Installation

npm i @leodeslf/vec.js

pnpm i @leodeslf/vec.js

yarn add @leodeslf/vec.js

bun i @leodeslf/vec.js

Usage

Most methods are available as both instance and static members. The ones that modify the current vector return this, thus we can chain method calls. Other than e.g.: vector.x, vector.y, and vector.xy (as an array), vectors are iterable, so it's possible to iterate trough their components using for-of or spread operator (e.g.: ...vector).

// E.g.:
import { Vec2 } from '@leodeslf/vec.js';

const position = new Vec2(1, 1.8);
const target = new Vec2(1, 10);
const distance = position.distance(target); // 8.2
const direction = Vec2.subtract(target, position).normalize(); // { x: 0, y: 1 }
