Tiny 2kb, zero deps, infinite precision: SafeBase for all your big integer + big decimal needs.

SafeBase is a Lightweight, Zero Dependency JavaScript library for safe and precise arithmetic operations on Big Integer + Big Decimal. It excels at handling both Big Decimal and Big Integer computations with ease. 🧮

Features 🌟

  • 🔢 Supports operations on extremely large numbers (Big Number)
  • 🔒 Zero dependencies
  • 🪶 Lightweight: Only 2kb in size
  • 💻 Full TypeScript support
  • 🎯 High precision decimal arithmetic (Big Decimal)
  • 🔀 Seamless handling of both Big Decimal and Big Number operations

Installation 📥

npm install safebase

Usage 🚀

import { add, subtract, multiply, divide } from "safebase";

console.log(add("10000000000000000000000", "0.00000000005"));
// '10000000000000000000000.00000000005'

console.log(subtract("-9999999999999999999999.9", "0.1"));
// '-10000000000000000000000'

console.log(multiply("123456789123456789", "0.000000001"));
// '123456789.123456789'

console.log(divide("1000000000000000000000", "0.1"));
// '10000000000000000000000'

API 📚

add(left: string, right: string): string

Adds two numbers represented as strings.

subtract(left: string, right: string): string

Subtracts the second number from the first, both represented as strings.

multiply(left: string, right: string): string

Multiplies two numbers represented as strings.

divide(left: string, right: string, precision: number = 20): string

Divides the first number by the second, both represented as strings. The precision parameter determines the number of decimal places in the result (default is 20).

Why SafeBase? 🤔

JavaScript's native number type has limitations when dealing with very large numbers or high precision decimals. SafeBase overcomes these limitations by:

  • 🔢 Representing numbers as strings, allowing for arbitrary-length integers
  • 🎯 Providing high-precision decimal arithmetic
  • 🐛 Avoiding floating-point errors common in JavaScript's native math operations

Performance 🚀

SafeBase is optimized for performance while maintaining accuracy. It's suitable for applications requiring precise calculations with large numbers, such as financial systems, scientific computing, or cryptography.
