kiwi.js

Kiwi.js is a fast TypeScript implementation of the Cassowary constraint solving algorithm, based on the seminal Cassowary paper. Originally created by Chris Colbert, it was redesigned from the ground up to be lightweight, fast and easy to maintain. View the benchmarks to see how it compares to Cassowary.js.

Getting started

Install using NPM:

npm install kiwi.js

The following example creates a solver which automatically calculates the width:

import * as kiwi from 'kiwi.js';
import { equal } from 'assert';

// Create a solver
var solver = new kiwi.Solver();

// Create edit variables
var left = new kiwi.Variable();
var width = new kiwi.Variable();
solver.addEditVariable(left, kiwi.Strength.strong);
solver.addEditVariable(width, kiwi.Strength.strong);
solver.suggestValue(left, 100);
solver.suggestValue(width, 400);

// Create and add a constraint
var right = new kiwi.Variable();
solver.addConstraint(new kiwi.Constraint(new kiwi.Expression([-1, right], left, width), kiwi.Operator.Eq));

// Solve the constraints
solver.updateVariables();
equal(right.value(), 500);
