Explanation

type SuperMemoItem = {
  interval: number;
  repetition: number;
  efactor: number;
};

type SuperMemoGrade = 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5;

supermemo(item: SuperMemoItem, grade: SuperMemoGrade): SuperMemoItem
  • item
    • repetition: the number of continous correct responses. The initial repetition value should be 0.
    • interval: inter-repetition interval after the repetitions (in days). The initial interval value should be 0.
    • efactor: easiness factor reflecting the easiness of memorizing and retaining a given item in memory. The initial efactor value should be 2.5.
  • grade:
    • 5: perfect response.
    • 4: correct response after a hesitation.
    • 3: correct response recalled with serious difficulty.
    • 2: incorrect response; where the correct one seemed easy to recall.
    • 1: incorrect response; the correct one remembered.
    • 0: complete blackout.

Installation

For Webpack

npm install --save supermemo
import { supermemo, SuperMemoItem, SuperMemoGrade } from 'supermemo';

For Node

npm install --save supermemo
const { supermemo } = require('supermemo');

For Deno

import { supermemo, SuperMemoItem, SuperMemoGrade } from 'https://deno.land/x/supermemo/mod.ts';

Usage

let item: SuperMemoItem = {
  interval: 0,
  repetition: 0,
  efactor: 2.5,
};

console.log(item);

item = supermemo(item, 5);
console.log(item);

item = supermemo(item, 4);
console.log(item);

How to implement SuperMemo with DayJS?

import dayjs from 'dayjs';
import { supermemo, SuperMemoItem, SuperMemoGrade } from 'supermemo';

interface Flashcard extends SuperMemoItem {
  front: string;
  back: string;
  dueDate: string;
}

function practice(flashcard: Flashcard, grade: SuperMemoGrade): Flashcard {
  const { interval, repetition, efactor } = supermemo(flashcard, grade);

  const dueDate = dayjs(Date.now()).add(interval, 'day').toISOString();

  return { ...flashcard, interval, repetition, efactor, dueDate };
}

let flashcard: Flashcard = {
  front: 'programer',
  back: 'an organism that turns caffeine in software',
  interval: 0,
  repetition: 0,
  efactor: 2.5,
  dueDate: dayjs(Date.now()).toISOString(),
};

console.log(flashcard);

flashcard = practice(flashcard, 5);
console.log(flashcard);

flashcard = practice(flashcard, 3);
console.log(flashcard);
