Packages

This monorepo has several packages that can be used for various purposes. All the packages can be found in packages.

• @quri/squiggle-lang in packages/squiggle-lang contains the core language, particularly an interface to parse squiggle expressions and return descriptions of distributions or results.
• @quri/squiggle-components in packages/components contains React components that can be passed squiggle strings as props, and return a presentation of the result of the calculation.
• packages/website is the main descriptive website for squiggle, it is hosted at squiggle-language.com.
• packages/vscode-ext is the VS Code extension for writing estimation functions.
• packages/cli is an experimental way of using imports in squiggle, which is also on npm.
