Pascal Code Formatter

A simple formatter for tokenized Pascal code, designed to organize tokens into structured lines with indentation information (indentation functionality still needs to be fully implemented).

Installation

You can install this package using npm:

npm install pascal-code-formatter

Usage

Pass your Pascal code as a string to the formatPascalCode function. The function handles the tokenization internally.

import { formatPascalCode, FormattedPascalLine } from "pascal-code-formatter";

// Example Pascal code as a string
const pascalCode: string = `
program HelloWorld;
begin
  WriteLn('Hello, World!');
end.
`;

// Format the code string into lines
const formattedLines: FormattedPascalLine[] = formatPascalCode(pascalCode);

// The result will be an array of FormattedPascalLine objects
console.log(formattedLines);
/*
[
  {
    tokens: [
      { type: 'KEYWORD', value: 'program' },
      { type: 'IDENTIFIER', value: 'HelloWorld' },
      { type: 'SYMBOL', value: ';' }
    ],
    indentation: 0 // Indentation is not yet calculated
  },
  {
    tokens: [ { type: 'KEYWORD', value: 'begin' } ],
    indentation: 0 // Indentation is not yet calculated
  },
  {
    tokens: [
      { type: 'IDENTIFIER', value: 'WriteLn' },
      { type: 'SYMBOL', value: '(' },
      { type: 'STRING_LITERAL', value: "'Hello, World!'" },
      { type: 'SYMBOL', value: ')' },
      { type: 'SYMBOL', value: ';' }
    ],
    indentation: 0 // Indentation is not yet calculated
  },
  {
    tokens: [ { type: 'KEYWORD', value: 'end' }, { type: 'SYMBOL', value: '.' } ],
    indentation: 0 // Indentation is not yet calculated
  }
]
*/

// And now... You can do anything you want, for example:
// Iterate over the lines to reconstruct the formatted code
formattedLines.forEach((line) => {
  const indent = " ".repeat(line.indentation * 2); // Example indentation (adjust as needed)
  const lineContent = line.tokens.map((token) => token.value).join(" ");
  console.log(indent + lineContent);
});

API

formatPascalCode(code: string): FormattedPascalLine[]

• code: A string containing the Pascal code to format. The function will handle tokenization internally.
• Returns: An array of FormattedPascalLine objects. Each object contains:
  • tokens: An array of PascalToken belonging to that line.
  • indentation: A number representing the indentation level for that line (currently always 0, needs implementation).

FormattedPascalLine

Interface describing the structure of each formatted line.

interface FormattedPascalLine {
  tokens: PascalToken[];
  indentation: number;
}

PascalToken and TokenType

These types are still exported for potential advanced use cases or type checking. They represent the structure of tokens generated internally. Consult the pascal-tokenizer documentation (or the source code) for more details on their structure if needed.
