This JavaScript npm package provides all functions and constants that are assumed to be predeclared in the textbook Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, JavaScript Edition (SICP JS). This package therefore allows readers of the textbook to run and experiment with all JavaScript programs that appear in the textbook, using Node.js.

Alternatively, you can use the Source Academy, which has all necessary functions and constants predeclared.

Setting up and Using SICP package

Create the file package.json first if you have not done that, by running

$ npm init

Add the following line in the package.json file

{
  ...
  "type": "module"
}  

Next, install the package

$ npm i sicp

To use SICP package, you need to import it in your program by writing

import 'sicp';

For example,

import 'sicp';

const p = list("I", "love", "sicp");
display(head(tail(p)));

The documentation of the functions and constants provided by the sicp package is available here.

This package is generated from the GitHub repository js-slang in the GitHub organization source-academy. Please report issues and bugs in this repository, using the prefix sicp: in the title.
