Structure
The Cheddar source code is located in the
src/ directory.The tokenizer has no specific folder structure. Terminal parsers, are generally kept in the
literals/ directory, expression non-terminals in the parsers/, and statements in the states/ directory.The file structure of STDLIB (the standard library) is simple. It's located in the
src/stdlib/ directory. In this root directory, you'll see two files: api.es6 and stdlib.es6. Each of these have their own uses:stdlib.es6: This constructs the global scope (i.e. the standard library).api.es6: This is the API itself, it defines useful functions and provides the Cheddar primitives (CheddarString,CheddarNumber, etc.) to you. This also helps avoid cyclic dependency errors.
Here's a diagram of the further folder structure
stdlib/
|
|-- stdlib.es6 Standard Library List
|-- api.es6 The STDLIB API
|
|-- ns/ Namespaces
| |- <name>/ The implementations
| |- <name>.es6 Compiles the namespace's properties/methods
|
|-- primitive/ Primitive Libraries
|- <name>/ A specific primitive
|- lib/ The implementations
|- lib.es6 Compiles the methods/properties
|- static.es6 The static properties
<name> would be replaced with the name of that specific item.If you which to create a new namespace, or a global class. Create a
<name>.es6 file in ns/ and a folder in the same directory. <name>.es6 will be where your class/namespace is defined. Individual method implementations can go in the folder you created. For example, if I was creating a package named "Geometry" my files/folders would look like:stdlib/ns/
|-- geometry.es6
|-- geometry/
