Fixes #1880 - Adds two new math modes and deprecates strictMath #3274

matthew-dean · 2018-07-07T06:50:57Z

This PR deprecates strictMath in favor of 4 math modes: always | parens-division | parens | strict | strict-legacy

In talking with @calvinjuarez, we both found the current behavior of strictMath extremely odd in cases like width: (1 + 1) + (1 + 1); which would result in the unexpected width: (1 + 1) + (1 + 1); vs. the expected width: 2 + 2;. None of the documentation seems to indicate this behavior or why it would need to evaluate in this way, since strictMath: true will evaluate width: (1 + 1) as width: 2. However, since there were many tests expecting this behavior in how Less deals with parens, we opted to leave it as "legacy" (strict-legacy) and add a more intuitive parens / strict option.

So, in summary, here are the math options (please see tests):

always (current default) - Less eagerly does math
parens-division (future default) - No division is performed outside of parens using / operator (but can be "forced" outside of parens with ./ operator)
parens | strict - A more intuitive form of legacy strictMath: true
strict-legacy (deprecated) - As named, operates exactly like current strictMath: true, with the exception that width: -(1); (single dimension values in parens) will now output width: -1; vs previous behavior of width: -(1)

Note, that setting options.strictMath = true or --strict-math=on is detected and seamlessly upgraded to math: 'strict-legacy' with a warning.

🤔 Should parens-all just be parens ?

calvinjuarez

On parens-all or parens, I think parens is probably sufficient. Otherwise, I've only really got a couple questions.

This warning could specify --math=parens, maybe.

Fair, yes. Will change it.

? true : false isn't really necessary is it? Or is this to force Boolean? Do we have a style guide covering this case? Maybe just Boolean(options.javascriptEnabled) would be more straightforward?

I should just remove this line. I was just removing the inlineJavaScript thing, which was never used and shouldn't have gone in.

As I mentioned in a separate comment, I think parens is probably sufficient, but I don't mind either way, really.

I'll do parens with strict as an alias.

Speaking of style guides, you have any strong opinion on comma dangle?

Comma dangles shouldn't go in, probably, for compatibility reasons.

We had talked about strict as an alias of parens/parens-all. I don't think it's totally necessary; I'm just making sure it was a conscious choice to leave it out.

It was, but after sleeping on it, I realized it might make the concept easier for people switching to decide which one to use.

Should the strictMath option be updated here (and in other lines below) as well? Or will it not matter?

I left some in to verify that setting the legacy option worked as expected. I should make a note of it though.

LGTM!
