mulang

Installing

As a node library

npm install mulang

As a CLI

npm install -g mulang

Using

As a node/webpack library

Expectations checking

const code = mulang.nativeCode("JavaScript", "x = 1");

code.expect("*", "Assigns:x");
// => true

code.expect("*", "Assigns:y");
// => false

code.expect("*", "Assigns:x:WithNumber:1");
// => true

code.customExpect(`
  expectation "assigns 1":
    assigns with 1;
  expectation "assigns 2":
    assigns with 2`);
// => [['assigns 1', true], ['assigns 2', false]])

AST generation

const code = mulang.nativeCode("Python", "x = 1");

code.ast
// => { tag: 'Assignment', contents: [ 'x', { tag: 'MuNumber', contents: 1 } ] }

Run analysis

const code = mulang.nativeCode("Python", "x = 1");

const result = code.analyse({expectations: [{binding: '*', inspection: 'Declares'}, {binding: '*', inspection: 'Assigns'}]})

result.expectationResults
// => [
//  { expectation: { binding: '*', inspection: 'Declares' }, result: false },
//  { expectation: { binding: '*', inspection: 'Assigns' },  result: true }
//]

You can also compute code smells:

const code = mulang.nativeCode("Python", "def increment():\n\tx += 1");

const result = code.analyse({
                expectations: [ {binding: '*', inspection: 'DeclaresProcedure:Increment'} ],
                smellsSet: { tag: 'AllSmells' }})

result.expectationResults
// => [
//  { expectation: { binding: '*', inspection: 'DeclaresProcedure:Increment' }, result: false }
// ]

result.smells
// => [
//  { binding: 'increment', inspection: 'HasDeclarationTypos:Increment' }
//]

Internationalization

mulang.I18n.locale = 'en'

mulang.I18n.translate('*', 'Declares:foo')
// => 'solution must declare <strong>foo</strong>'

Raw mulang execution

const mulang = require('mulang')
mulang.analyse({
                "sample": {
                  "tag": "CodeSample",
                  "language": "Haskell",
                  "content": "x = z + 1"
                },
                "spec": {
                  "expectations": [
                    {
                      "binding": "Intransitive:x",
                      "inspection": "Uses:z"
                    }
                  ],
                  "smellsSet": { "tag": "NoSmells" }
                }
              });

$ mulangjs '{
     "sample" : {
        "tag" : "CodeSample",
        "language" : "Haskell",
        "content" : "x = z + 1"

     }
  }' | json_pp
