Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@speclynx/apidom-parser-adapter-yaml-1-2

@speclynx/apidom-parser-adapter-yaml-1-2 is a parser adapter for the YAML 1.2 format.

CST produced by lexical analysis is syntactically analyzed and ApiDOM structure using base ApiDOM namespace is produced.

Installation

You can install @speclynx/apidom-parser-adapter-yaml-1-2 via npm CLI by running the following command:

 $ npm install @speclynx/apidom-parser-adapter-yaml-1-2

Parse phases

The parse stage takes YAML string and produces ApiDOM structure using base ApiDOM namespace. There are two phases of parsing: Lexical Analysis and Syntactic Analysis.

Lexical Analysis

Lexical Analysis will take a YAML string and turn it into a stream of tokens. tree-sitter / web-tree-sitter is used as an underlying lexical analyzer.

Syntactic Analysis

Syntactic Analysis will take a stream of tokens and turn it into an ApiDOM representation. CST produced by lexical analysis is syntactically analyzed and ApiDOM structure using base ApiDOM namespace is produced.

Parser adapter API

This parser adapter is fully compatible with parser adapter interface required by @speclynx/apidom-parser and implements all required properties.

mediaTypes

Defines list of media types that this parser adapter recognizes.

['text/yaml', 'application/yaml']

detect

Detection indicates whether the provided source string is valid YAML.

Option | Type | Default | Description --- | --- | --- | --- strict | Boolean | false | Use strict detection mode (yaml library).

In default mode, detection uses tree-sitter for parsing with error recovery. In strict mode, detection uses the yaml library which is faster.

namespace

This adapter exposes an instance of base ApiDOM namespace.

parse

parse function consumes various options as a second argument. Here is a list of these options:

Option | Type | Default | Description --- | --- | --- | --- sourceMap | Boolean | false | Indicate whether to generate source maps. style | Boolean | false | Indicate whether to capture format-specific style information for round-trip preservation. strict | Boolean | false | Use strict parsing mode (yaml library). When true, parsing is faster but doesn't support source maps or style preservation.

All unrecognized arbitrary options will be ignored.

Parsing modes

This adapter supports two parsing modes:

Tree-sitter mode (default, strict: false):

  • Uses web-tree-sitter for parsing
  • Provides error recovery for malformed YAML
  • Supports source map generation
  • Supports style preservation (quoting styles, flow/block, comments, indentation)
  • Full YAML 1.2 spec compliance with custom AST

Strict mode (strict: true):

  • Uses yaml library for parsing
  • Faster performance
  • Does not support source maps (throws error if both strict and sourceMap are true)
  • Does not support style preservation (throws error if both strict and style are true)

Usage

This parser adapter can be used directly or indirectly via @speclynx/apidom-parser.

Direct usage

During direct usage you don't need to provide mediaType as the parse function is already pre-bound with supported media types.

import { parse, detect } from '@speclynx/apidom-parser-adapter-yaml-1-2';

// detecting (tree-sitter mode - default)
await detect('prop: value'); // => true
await detect('{invalid:'); // => false

// detecting (strict mode)
await detect('prop: value', { strict: true }); // => true

// parsing (tree-sitter mode - default, with source maps)
const parseResult = await parse('prop: value', { sourceMap: true });

// parsing (tree-sitter mode, with style preservation)
const parseResultStyled = await parse('prop: value', { style: true });

// parsing (strict mode - faster, no source maps or style)
const parseResultStrict = await parse('prop: value', { strict: true });

Indirect usage

import ApiDOMParser from '@speclynx/apidom-parser';
import * as yamlParserAdapter from '@speclynx/apidom-parser-adapter-yaml-1-2';

const parser = new ApiDOMParser();

parser.use(yamlParserAdapter);

const parseResult = await parser.parse('prop: value', { mediaType: yamlParserAdapter.mediaTypes.latest('yaml') });
