This package implements a language extension that allows configuration
authors to include the content of another file into a body, using syntax
like this:
include {
path = "./foo.zcl"
}
This is implemented as a transform.Transformer so that it can be used
as part of a transform chain when decoding nested block structures to
allow includes at any arbitrary point.
This capability is not built into the language because certain
applications will offer higher-level constructs for connecting multiple
separate config files, which may e.g. have a separate evaluation scope
for each file, etc.
This utility is intended to support the extension packages that are
siblings of this package, along with third-party extensions, by providing
a way to transform bodies in arbitrary ways.
The "Deep" function then provides a means to apply a particular transform
recursively to a nested block tree, allowing a particular extension to
be supported at arbitrary nesting levels.
This functionality is provided in terms of the standard zcl.Body
interface, so that transform results can be used with any code that
operates generically on bodies. This includes the zcldec and gozcl
packages, so files with extensions can still be decoded in the usual
way.
This package provides helper function that looks in a given body for
blocks that define functions, returning a function map suitable for use
in a zcl.EvalContext.
These will provide additional language features that are implemented in
terms of the basic zcl functionality, so that applications can opt-in to
some more-dynamic behavior if desired.
The general pattern here will be to provide a function that
partially-decodes a given zcl.Body to look for certain block types and
then returns its result along with a zcl.Body representing the remaining,
as-yet-unprocessed content.
