Installation
- I'm using Node.js, Webpack, Browserify, Rollup, or another module bundler,
and install packages from npm.- First, install the
simple-statisticsmodule, usingnpm install simple-statistics,
then include the code with require or import: - I use the
requirefunction to use modules in my project. (most likely)- When you use
require, you have the freedom to assign the module to any
variable name you want, but you need to specify the module's name exactly:
in this case, 'simple-statistics'. Therequiremethod returns an object
with all of the module's methods attached to it. var ss = require('simple-statistics')

- I use
importto use modules in my project. I'm probably using Babel,@std/esm, Webpack, or Rollup.- Import all functions under the ss object: import * as ss from 'simple-statistics'
Include a specific named export: import {min} from 'simple-statistics'
Simple statistics has only named exports for ES6.

simple-statistics using a script tag.- I want to support all browsers
- When you use simple-statistics from a script tag, you don't get to choose
the variable name it is assigned to: simple-statistics will always become
available globally as the variabless. You can reassign this variable to
another name if you want to, but doing so is optional.<script src='https://unpkg.com/simple-statistics@7.0.2/dist/simple-statistics.min.js'> </script>

- I want to use ES6 modules in a browser and I'm willing to only support new browsers to do it
- This module works great with the
?modulequery parameter of unpkg. If you
specifytype='module'in your script tag, you'll be able to import simple-statistics
directly - throughindex.jsand with true ES6 import syntax and behavior.
This feature is still experimental in unpkg and very bleeding-edge.<script type='module'> import {min} from "https://unpkg.com/simple-statistics@7.0.2/index.js?module" console.log(min([1, 2, 3])) </script>
