dotnet-parseidon

Global dotnet tool that compiles .pgram grammar files into C# parsers, TextMate grammars, or full VS Code language packages. Project home: https://github.com/parseidon/parseidon

Install

dotnet tool install -g dotnet-parseidon

Commands

• parser: generate a C# parser file. Options: --namespace|-n overrides the generated namespace, --class-name|-c overrides the generated parser class name.
• vscode: emit a VS Code package (package.json, language-configuration.json, syntaxes/*.tmLanguage.json).
• textmate: write a standalone TextMate grammar JSON.
• ast: generate an AST by first compiling a parser from the grammar file and then parsing a code file. Usage: dotnet parseidon ast GRAMMAR-FILE CODE-FILE OUTPUT-FILE.

Common option: --override|-o {ask|abort|backup|override} controls how existing outputs are handled.

Examples

# Create a parser and keep any existing file as .bak dotnet parseidon parser hello.pgram DemoParser.cs -o backup # Generate a VS Code package with a specific version and override file dotnet parseidon vscode hello.pgram out/vscode -o override -v 1.0.0 --package-json-override ./package.patch.json # Export a TextMate grammar only dotnet parseidon textmate hello.pgram syntaxes/demo.tmLanguage.json
