kevoree-kevscript v1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-rc2

kevoree-kevscript

Convert a KevScript file to a Kevoree model (ContainerRoot)

node kevs2model.js -k examples/test-parser.kevs
# will output `model.json` in current directory

Kevscript API

Want to parse Kevscript programatically ?
Then, you can do something like this:

var Kevscript = require('kevoree-kevscript');

var myKevscript = 'include npm:kevoree-node-javascript\nadd node0 : JavascriptNode',
    kevs = new Kevscript();

kevs.parse(myKevscript)
  .then(({ model }) => {
    // success
    // 'model' is the equivalent Kevoree model of your Kevscript input
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    // something went wrong
  });

You can also give a context model and/or context variables

Context Model

var KevScript = require('kevoree-kevscript');
var kevs = new KevScript();
var script = 'add node : JavascriptNode';
kevs.parse(script, contextModel)
  .then(({ model }) => {
    // success
    // this model is the contextModel + the interpretation of the given KevScript
    // so here, it will add a JavascriptNode "node" to the resulting model
    // Note that contextModel WILL NOT be modified
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    // something went wrong
  });

Context Variables

You can use the naming convention %NAME% to dinamycally set variable content.
If you use 2 % symbols, then the interpreter will randomly generate a value for those variables (eg. %%RANDOM_NAME%%)

var KevScript = require('kevoree-kevscript');
var kevs = new KevScript();
var script =
  'add %node% : JavascriptNode\n' +
  'add %%grp%%: WSGroup\n' +
  'attach %node% %%grp%%';
var ctxVars = {
  node: 'myNode'
};
kevs.parse(script, null, ctxVars)
  .then(({ model }) => {
    // success
    // KevScript parser has generated a random value for %%grp%% that you can
    // retrieve here: ctxVars.grp
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    // something went wrong
  });

Tests

To be sure that the parser works correctly, run:

npm test

This will try to parse the KevScript file from examples/test-parser.kevs showing the resulting AST on stdo

Browserify

If you want to generate kevoree-kevscript.js for the browser, just run:

npm install
grunt

This will create a new folder named browser/ in the project root containing a raw browserified version of kevoree-kevscript
Once loaded in your browser, you can access the KevoreeKevscript class from the global scope.
