yaparsec v2.0.0
yaparsec
Yet another parser combinator.
The class structure is referenced by scala-parser-combinators.
Installing
npm install yaparsecUseage
typescript:
import { literal } from "yaparsec";
// literal parsing
const abcParser = literal("abc");
const parsedResult = abcParser.parse("abcdefg"); // input: "abcdefg"
console.log(parsedResult); // Success { rest: 'defg', result: 'abc' }Implemented functions are based on PEG (Parsing Expression Grammar). You can find more examples in test files.
Operators
p, q: Parser
| function | description |
|---|---|
| p.parse(input) | take input for parser p |
| p.map(fn) | map the parse result of p with fn |
| p.then(q) | sequence parser |
| p.or(q) | ordered choice parser (try q only if p fails) |
| p.rep() | p* |
| p.rep1() | p+ |
| p.rep1sep(q) | p(qp)* |
| p.opt() | p? |
| p.not() | success if input does not start with p |
| p.guard() | success if input starts with p, without consuming input |
| p.saveR(q) | same as sequence, but discard left result (~>) |
| p.saveL(q) | same as sequence, but discard right result (<~) |
| p.into(fq) | 2nd parser depends on the result of the 1st parser (>>) |
| seq(...ps) | sequence parser that has many sub parsers |
| lt(str) | parse specified string str |
| r(regexp) | parse any string match regexp |
| decimal | decimal number parser |
| integer | integer number parser |
| email parser |
Parser
Type of parsers is Parser<T>, T means the result type of parsing.
Input
Input type is string or Input. You can manage regex as whitespace when useing Input. If string, the default regex /^\s+/ is selected.
// Space or `,` char sequence is treated as whitespace
someparser.of(new Input(inputString, /^[\s,]+/));Result
Parse result type is Success<T> or Failure<T>, T is the content type. Success<T> has two contents, parse result and rest input. You can get the parse result to use getResult() in Success<T>. If fail, Failure<T> has three contents, rest input, error message and the parser name. There are in order to determine the cause of errors.
Recursion
Arguments that require another parsers can all be lazy, so you can use right recursion.
// a*b parser
const aStarB: Parser<string> = literal("b").or((literal("a").then(() => aStarB).map(ret => ret[0] + ret[1]));License
