Compendium of helpers to create scales

Installation

Using npm, npm i scale-helper-functions.

Using yarn, yarn add scale-helper-functions.

Usage

Using import

import {createLinearScale} from 'scale-helper-functions';

const domain = [0, 10];
const range = [0, 100];

const scale = createLinearScale(domain, range);

const transformed = scale(5); // transformed is 50

In a CommonJS environment

const {createOrdinalScale} = require('scale-helper-functions');

const animals = ['cat', 'dog'];
const range = ['white', 'brown'];

const scale = createOrdinalScale(animals, range);
const color = scale('dog'); // color is brown
