# gap-system

Perform computations using the [GAP](http://www.gap-system.org/) computer algebra system from node.js.

## Setup

* Currently only supports calculating expressions created in [OpenMath](http://www.openmath.org/) XML format.

* Requires [OpenMath](http://www.gap-system.org/Packages/openmath.html) in your GAP installation.

* Create a workspace in GAP using:

```

gap> LoadPackage("openmath");

gap> SaveWorkspace("workspace");

true

```

## Usage

Initialize:

```

var gap = require('gap-system')({

  path: GAP_PATH,

  workspace: 'workspace'

});

```

Calculate:

```

var xml = "   3 4  ";

gap.calculate(xml, function(err, resp) {

  var result = resp;

});

```

### Options

#### path

Type: `String` - [Optional]

Default: 'gap'

Path to your GAP installation.

You can also use `GAP_PATH`.

#### workspace

Type: `String` - [Required]

Path to your GAP workspace.

## Development

Running tests:

```

npm test

```

or custom path:

```

GAP_PATH=[path]/gap/gap npm test

```
