|
||||
|
||||
Imported functions are registered in the _global context_. When an expression first calls an imported function, that function is linked to the current context; this can be the _main context_ or a _function context_.
|
||||
|
||||
===== Inspecting contexts
|
||||
_Expr_ provides the operator [blue]_$$_ that returns the current context. This can be used to inspect the content of the context, for example to check the value of a variable or to see which functions are currently linked to the context. This operator is primarily intended for debugging purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
An interactive tool could like `dev-expr` (see <<_dev-expr_test_tool>>) can be used to inspect contexts interactively.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.Example: inspecting contexts
|
||||
`>>>` [blue]`$$` +
|
||||
[green]`{"variables": {"ls": "[10, 20, 30]", "it": "$(#3)", "last": "-1"}, "functions": {"about": "about():string{}", "bin": "bin(value, digits=8):integer{}", "ctrl": "ctrl(prop, value):any{}", "ctrlList": "ctrlList():list-of-strings{}", "envGet": "envGet(name):string{}", "envSet": "envSet(name, value):string{}"}}` +
|
||||
|
||||
`>>>` [gray]_// Let use the *ml* command to activate multi-line output of contexts, which is more readable._ +

||||

||||

== Builtins
|
||||
Builtins are collection of function dedicated to specific domains of application. They are defined in Golang source files called _modules_ and compiled within the _Expr_ package. To make builtins available in _Expr_ contextes, it is required to activate the builtin module in which they are defined.
|
||||
|
||||
There are currently several builtin modules. More builtin modules will be added in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
.Available builtin modules
|
||||
* *base*: Base expression tools like isNil(), int(), etc.
|
||||
* *fmt*: String and console formatting functions
|
||||
* *import*: Functions import() and include()
|
||||
* *iterator*: Iterator helper functions
|
||||
* *math.arith*: Functions add() and mul()
|
||||
* *os.file*: Operating system file functions
|
||||
* *string*: string utilities
|
||||
|
||||
Builtins activation is done by using the [blue]`BUILTIN` operator. All modules except "base" must be explicitly enabled. The syntax is as follows.
|
||||
|
||||
.Builtin activation syntax
|
||||
====
|
||||
*_builtin-activation_* = [blue]`BUILTIN` (_builtin-name_ | _list-of-builtin-names_) +
|
||||
_builtin-name_ = _string_ +
|
||||
_list-of-builtin-names_ = **[** _string_ { "**,**" _string_ } **]**
|
||||
====
|
||||
|
||||
The following example shows how to activate the builtin module "math.arith" and then use the function add() defined in that module.
|
||||
|
||||
.Example: using built functions
|
||||
`>>>` [blue]`BUILTIN "math.arith"` +
|
||||
[green]`1` +
|
||||
`>>>` [blue]`add(5, 3, -2)` +
|
||||
[green]`6`
|
||||
|
||||
TIP: To avoid the need to activate builtin modules one by one, it is possible to activate all builtin modules at once by using the [blue]`BUILTIN "*"` syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Builtin modules
|
||||
|
||||
==== Module "base"
|
||||
The "base" builtin module provides functions for type checking and type conversion. These functions are always available in _Expr_ contexts without the need to activate the "base" module.
|
||||
|
||||
.Checking functions
|
||||
* <<_isbool,isBool()>>
|
||||
* <<_isdict,isDict()>>
|
||||
* <<_isfloat,isFloat()>>
|
||||
* <<_isfract,isFract()>>
|
||||
* <<_islist,isList()>>
|
||||
* <<_isnil,isNil()>>
|
||||
* <<_isrational,isRational()>>
|
||||
* <<_isstring,isString()>>
|
||||
|
||||
.Conversion functions
|
||||
* <<_bool,bool()>>
|
||||
* <<_int,int()>>
|
||||
* <<_dec,dec()>>
|
||||
* <<_string,string()>>
|
||||
* <<_fract,fract()>>
|
||||
|
||||
.Other functions
|
||||
* <<_eval,eval()>>
|
||||
* <<_var,var()>>

The first form of the function allows you to define a variable with a name specified by the first parameter and assign it the value of the second parameter. The second form only returns the value of the variable with the specified name.

Currently, the "math.arith" module provides two functions, add() and mul(), that perform addition and multiplication of an arbitrary number of parameters. More functions will be added in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
===== add()
|
||||
Syntax: +
|
||||
`{4sp}add(<num-expr1>, <num-expr2>, ...) -> any` +
|
||||
`{4sp}add(<list-of-num-expr>]) -> any` +
|
||||
`{4sp}add(<iterator-over-num-values>) -> any`
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the sum of the values of the parameters. The parameters can be of any numeric type for which the [blue]`+` operator is defined. The result type depends on the types of the parameters. If all parameters are of the same type, the result is of that type. If the parameters are of different types, the result is of the type that can represent all the parameter types without loss of information. For example, if the parameters are a mix of integers and floats, the result is a float. If the parameters are a mix of number types, the result has the type of the most general one.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

== Iterators
|
||||
Iterators are objects that can be used to traverse collections, such as lists and dictionaries. They are created by providing a _data-source_ object, the collection, in a `$(<data-source>)` expression. Once an iterator is created, it can be used to access the elements of the collection one by one.

|
||||
* *_.next_*: same as [blue]`{plusplus}`.
|
||||
* *_.current_*: same as [blue]`{star}`.
|
||||
* *_.reset_*: resets the state of the iterator to the initial state.
|
||||
* *_.count_*: returns the number of elements in the iterator, if it can be determined.
|
||||
* *_.index_*: returns the index of the current element in the iterator. Before the first use of the [blue]`{plusplus}` operator, it returns the error [red]_-1_.
|
||||
|
||||
TIP: Iterators built on custom data-sources can provide additional named operators, depending on the functionality they want to expose. For example, an iterator over a list could provide a named operator called [blue]`.reverse` that returns the next element of the collection in reverse order.
