Summary

This PR extends @solid-primitives/range with precision numerical helpers and non-linear scale converters:

  • IEEE-754 Precision Snapping: precisionRound and snapToStep eliminate floating-point arithmetic artifacts (e.g. 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004) when stepping through fractional ranges and slider increments.
  • Interpolation & Inversion: lerp and inverseLerp for normalizing values to [0, 1] ratios.
  • Logarithmic & Exponential Scaling: logScale and inverseLogScale for audio frequencies (20Hz–20kHz), gain faders, and logarithmic range sliders.

Changes

  • packages/range/src/math.ts: Precision snapping, interpolation, and logarithmic mapping algorithms.
  • packages/range/src/index.ts: Re-export math utilities.
  • packages/range/test/math.test.ts: Vitest test suite.
  • .changeset/range-precision-math.md: Minor changeset.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added utilities for creating numeric ranges, including reactive range generation with optional steps.
    • Added precision rounding, step snapping, linear interpolation, and inverse normalization helpers.
    • Added logarithmic scale conversion utilities with inverse mapping support.
  • Breaking Changes
    • Updated the public range exports; several legacy helpers and types are no longer exported.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for rounding, fractional steps, interpolation, and logarithmic scaling.

The @solid-primitives/range package adds range generators, reactive range accessors, precision math helpers, interpolation utilities, step snapping, logarithmic scale conversion, tests, and a minor-release changeset.

Changes

Range utilities

Layer / File(s) Summary
Numeric math helpers and validation
packages/range/src/math.ts, packages/range/test/math.test.ts
Adds six exported math helpers for rounding, interpolation, step snapping, and logarithmic scaling. Tests cover their numeric behavior.
Range generation and package exports
packages/range/src/index.ts, .changeset/range-precision-math.md
Adds range and memoized createRange overloads. The package barrel exports math and removes the previous range helper exports. The changeset declares a minor release.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 278cb

The new range math can currently return incomplete decimal ranges, NaN for equal logarithmic bounds, or incorrect snapped values for very small steps written in scientific notation. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be fixed.

Preserve inclusive endpoints for decimal steps.

range(0, 0.3, 0.1) evaluates (to - from) / step as approximately 2.9999999999999996. Line 14 floors that value to 2, so the result is [0, 0.1, 0.2] and omits 0.3.

Use a floating-point tolerance when deriving the step count. Normalize a final point that is within that tolerance to to. This also fixes the same result from createRange.

Handle steps written in scientific notation.

(1e-7).toString() returns "1e-7", so Line 22 calculates zero decimal places. snapToStep(0.00000028, 1e-7) calculates 3e-7, then Line 25 rounds it to four decimal places and returns 0.

Derive decimal precision in a way that supports exponent notation, or avoid fixed decimal-place rounding. Add a regression test for this input.

Handle equal logarithmic bounds before division.

inverseLogScale(10, 10, 10) evaluates 0 / 0 and returns NaN. logScale(10, 10, ratio) returns 10, so the inverse operation should return a defined normalized value. Return 0 when min === max, consistent with inverseLerp.
