Shift Spec Consumer

About

This module parses the Shift specification into a more usable form.

Installation

npm install shift-spec-consumer

Usage

let specConsumer = require("shift-spec-consumer");
let {nodes, enums, namedTypes} = specConsumer(/* contents of spec.idl */, /* contents of attribute-order.conf */);

The object returned by calling this module's default export appropriately has three keys: node, nums, and namedTypes. All are ES2015 Maps.

nodes is a map from node names (as strings) to objects of the form

{attributes, children, parents}

where

• attributes is an ordered list of objects of the form {name, type, inherited}, where those attributes are respectively a string, a type (see below), and a boolean indicating whether this field is inherited.
• children is a list of names of nodes which descend from this node
• parents is a list of names of nodes from which this node descends.

enums is a map from names to lists of strings, which were enums in the spec.

namedTypes is a map from type names to types (see below).

A type is a two-key object {kind, argument}, where

• kind is one of 'nullable', 'union', 'list', 'value', 'node', 'enum', 'namedType'
• argument depends on kind. For
  • nullable it is a type
  • union it is a list of types
  • list it is a type
  • value it is one of 'string', 'boolean', 'double'
  • node it is a key in nodes
  • enum it is a key in nums
  • namedType it is a key in namedTypes.
