Indexing is pretty fundamental and it's also non-trivial, so having this
exposed will make it easier for it to be implemented consistently across
many different callers, including within calling applications.
This can either be a traversal or a first-class node depending on whether
the given expression is a literal. This exception is made to allow
applications to conditionally populate only part of a potentially-large
collection if the config is only requesting one or two distinct indices.
In particular, it allows the following to be considered a single traversal
from the scope:
foo.bar[0].baz
stringer is more sensitive to certain errors than other generators, so
by running it last we give the other generators a chance to get things
straight before we ask stringer to run.
Traversal operators are the operators that can appear after a value
to traverse into the data structure that value represents. So far only
the attribute access operator is implemented.
Previously it was returning DynamicVal, but that's incorrect since it
would mean that even an otherwise-complete result that has an unpopulated
optional attribute would include an unknown.
This allows tooling to get a string describing the context of a particular
offset into the file. This is used, for example, to provide context
above the source code snippets in console-printed diagnostic messages.
It no longer produces diagnostics, since that's redundant with the
diagnostics that Decode itself will produce, and it wasn't going to be
complete anyway due to our use of partial decoding and our inability
to thread through nested specs in child blocks.
This allows callers to determine the source location where a particular
value (identified by a spec) came from, for use in application-level
diagnostic messages.
There are certain tokens that are _never_ valid, so we might as well
catch them early in the Lex... functions rather than having to handle
them in many different contexts within the parser.
Unfortunately for now when such errors occur they tend to be echoed by
more confusing errors coming from the parser, but we'll accept that for
now.
This package is an alternative to gocty for situations where static Go
types are not desired and the application instead wishes to remain in the
cty dynamic type system.
This allows code that only deals with BodyContent (post-decoding) to
still be able to report on missing items within the associated body while
providing a suitable source location.
This applies both two the whole of bare expressions and to any nested
expressions within parentheses. The latter means that an attribute value
can span over multiple lines if it's wrapped in parens:
foo = (
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
)
The ~ character can be used at the start and end of interpolation
sequences to trim off whitespace in neighboring literals, with the goal
of allowing extra whitespace to be included for readability without
including it in the resulting string.
Previously we were failing to return back to template-scanning mode due
to decrementing "braces" too early, causing the remainder of the template
to be scanned as if it were an expression.
Conditional expression parsing is ostensibly implemented, but since it
depends on the rest of the expression parsers -- not yet implemented --
it cannot be tested in isolation.
Also includes an initial implementation of the conditional expression
node, but this is also not yet tested and so may need further revisions
once we're in a better position to test it.
This rewrite of decodeQuotedLit, now called decodeStringLit, is able to
handle both cases with a single function, and also now correctly handles
situations where double-$ and double-! are not followed immediately by
a { symbol, and must thus be treated literally.
The context where a string literal was found affects what sort of escaping
it can have, so we need to distinguish these cases so that we will only
look for and handle backslash escapes in quoted strings.
