@sapphire/lexure

A powerful and fast parser for non-technical user input

Description

A powerful and fast parser and utilities for non-technical user input, inspired by lexure, powered by @sapphire/result.

The code in this package has been greatly inspired by lexure from 1Computer1.

Features

• Written in TypeScript
• Bundled with esbuild so it can be used in NodeJS and browsers
• Offers CommonJS, ESM and UMD bundles
• Fully tested
• Parses quoted input with multiple quote styles
• Parses flags and options with a customizable strategy system
• Keeps leading whitespace
• Includes a convenient wrapper to retrieve the parsed arguments
• Includes custom argument delimiter

Installation

You can use the following command to install this package, or replace npm install with your package manager of choice.

npm install @sapphire/lexure

Usage

Note: While this section uses require, the imports match 1:1 with ESM imports. For example const { Parser } = require('@sapphire/lexure') equals import { Parser } from '@sapphire/lexure'.

const parser = new Parser(new PrefixedStrategy(['--', '/'], ['=', ':']));
const lexer = new Lexer({
	quotes: [
		['"', '"'],
		['“', '”'],
		['「', '」']
	]
});

const content = 'foo bar';
const stream = new ArgumentStream(parser.run(lexer.run(content)));

console.log(stream.single()); // Some { value: 'foo' }
console.log(stream.single()); // Some { value: 'bar' }
console.log(stream.single()); // None
