Also, this commit makes `ls` a per-item command.
A command that processes things item by item may still take some time to stream
out the results from a single item. For example, `ls` on a directory with a lot
of files could be interrupted in the middle of showing all of these files.
This commit extracts five new crates:
- nu-source, which contains the core source-code handling logic in Nu,
including Text, Span, and also the pretty.rs-based debug logic
- nu-parser, which is the parser and expander logic
- nu-protocol, which is the bulk of the types and basic conveniences
used by plugins
- nu-errors, which contains ShellError, ParseError and error handling
conveniences
- nu-textview, which is the textview plugin extracted into a crate
One of the major consequences of this refactor is that it's no longer
possible to `impl X for Spanned<Y>` outside of the `nu-source` crate, so
a lot of types became more concrete (Value became a concrete type
instead of Spanned<Value>, for example).
This also turned a number of inherent methods in the main nu crate into
plain functions (impl Value {} became a bunch of functions in the
`value` namespace in `crate::data::value`).
This commit extracts Tag, Span, Text, as well as source-related debug
facilities into a new crate called nu_source.
This change is much bigger than one might have expected because the
previous code relied heavily on implementing inherent methods on
`Tagged<T>` and `Spanned<T>`, which is no longer possible.
As a result, this change creates more concrete types instead of using
`Tagged<T>`. One notable example: Tagged<Value> became Value, and Value
became UntaggedValue.
This change clarifies the intent of the code in many places, but it does
make it a big change.
Bare words now represent literal file names, and globs are a different
syntax shape called "Pattern". This allows commands like `cp` to ask for
a pattern as a source and a literal file as a target.
This also means that attempting to pass a glob to a command that expects
a literal path will produce an error.
with the `help` command to explore and list all commands available.
Enter will also try to see if the location to be entered is an existing
Nu command, if it is it will let you inspect the command under `help`.
This provides baseline needed so we can iterate on it.
Remove a number of unwraps. In some cases, a `?` just worked as is. I also made it possible to use `?` to go from Result<OutputStream, ShellError> to OutputStream. Finally, started updating PerItemCommand to be able to use the signature deserialization logic, which substantially reduces unwraps.
This is still in-progress work, but tests pass and it should be clear to merge and keep iterating on master.
