Installation

• I'm using Node.js, Webpack, Browserify, Rollup, or another module bundler, and install packages from npm.
• First, install the simple-statistics module, using npm install simple-statistics, then include the code with require or import:
• I use the require function 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'. The require method returns an object with all of the module's methods attached to it.

var ss = require('simple-statistics')

• I use import to 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.
• I'm using Deno.
• We recommend using Deno's first-class NPM compatibility to use simple-statistics from NPM: you'll need to import it as npm:simple-statistics.
• I'm not using a module bundler. I'm writing a web page, and want to include 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 variable ss. You can reassign this variable to another name if you want to, but doing so is optional. HTML <script src='https://unpkg.com/simple-statistics@7.9.3/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 ?module query parameter of unpkg. If you specify type='module' in your script tag, you'll be able to import simple-statistics directly - through index.js and with true ES6 import syntax and behavior. js <script type='module'> import {min} from "https://unpkg.com/simple-statistics@7.9.3/index.js?module" console.log(min([1, 2, 3])) </script> This feature is still experimental in unpkg and very bleeding-edge.
