robomind-parser

Parses a RoboMind .irobo and/or .map file into an AST, which can be interpreted using robomind-interpreter.

robomind-parser uses PEG.js internally, and has been tested reasonably well. It supports translation of keywords into multiple languages, like RoboMind.

robomind-parser was written for use in SkidBot.

Example

$ ./bin/robomind-parser test.irobo

API

var parser = require('robomind-parser');

• parser.languages An array containing all the language codes of languages robomind-parser supports.
• parser.info(type, lang) Provides information about the grammar of the RoboMind language.
  • type should be one of 'keywords', 'atoms', 'variables'.
  • lang should be one of the values of parser.languages,
• parser.parseScript(code, opts) Parses code and returns an ast. opts can be
  • language: is 'en' by default. You can change this to parse keywords in another language
  • any peg.js options to pass to the parser (startRule excluded)
• parser.parseScriptFile(path[, opts], cb) The same as above, but now taking a path instead of code, and using a callback function to provide the result since this requires IO.
• parser.parseMap(code) See above.
• parser.parseMapFile(path, cb) See above.
• parser.SyntaxError The SyntaxError function this parser uses. Handy for instanceof checks in error handlers.

Contributing

You don't need to be able to code to contribute, everyone can help with translations. Do make sure that the translations are the same as the one RoboMind uses, otherwise it becomes impossible to load its files.

You can translate robomind-parser on the online Launchpad site.

If you do want to work on the code, these are useful commands to know:

• npm install - needs to be run only once.
• npm test - to rebuild, run the test suite, and collect coverage information.
• npm run build - to just rebuild.

TODOS

• more translations
• more tests
