* Add possibility to declare optional parameters and switch flags
With this commit applied it is now possible to specify optional parameters and flags
as switches. This PR **only** makes guarantees about **parsing** optional flags and
switches correctly. This PR **does not guarantee flawless functionality** of
optional parameters / switches within scripts.
functionality within scripts. Example:
test.nu
```shell
def my_command [
opt_param?
opt_param2?: int
--switch
] {echo hi nushell}
```
```shell
> source test.nu
> my_command -h
───┬─────────
0 │ hi
1 │ nushell
───┴─────────
Usage:
> my_command <mandatory_param> (opt_param) (opt_param2) {flags}
Parameters:
<mandatory_param>
(opt_param)
(opt_param2)
Flags:
-h, --help: Display this help message
--switch
--opt_flag <any>
```
* Update def docs
* Add rest arg to def
This commit applied adds the ability to define the rest parameter of a def
command. It does not implement the functionality to expand the rest argument in
a user defined def function.
The rest argument has to be exactly worded "...rest".
Example after this PR is applied:
file test.nu
```shell
def my_command [
...rest:int # My rest arg
] {
echo 1 2 3
}
```
```shell
> source test.nu
> my_command -h
Usage:
> my_command ...args {flags}
Parameters:
...args: My rest arg
Flags:
-h, --help: Display this help message
```

* Put parse_definition related funcs into own module
* Add failing lexer test
* Implement Parsing of definition signature
This commit applied changes how the signature of a function is parsed. Before
there was a little bit of "quick-and-dirty" string-matching/parsing involved.
Now, a signature is a little bit more properly parsed.
The grammar of a definition signature understood by these parsing-functions is
as follows:
`[ (parameter | flag | <eol>)* ]`
where
parameter is:
`name (<:> type)? (<,> | <eol> | (#Comment <eol>))?`
flag is:
`--name (-shortform)? (<:> type)? (<,> | <eol> | (#Comment <eol>))?`
(Note: After the last item no <,> has to come.)
Note: It is now possible to pass comments to flags and parameters
Example:
[
d:int # The required d parameter
--x (-x):string # The all powerful x flag
--y (-y):int # The accompanying y flag
]
(Sadly there seems to be a bug (Or is this expected behaviour?) in the lexer, because of which `--x(-x)` would
be treated as one baseline token and is therefore not correctly recognized as 2. For
now a space has to be inserted)
During the implementation of the module, 2 question arose:
Should flag/parameter names be allowed to be type names?
Example case:
```shell
def f [ string ] { echo $string }
```
Currently an error is thrown
* Fix clippy lints
* Remove wrong comment
* Add spacing
* Add Cargo.lock
This commit applied adds comments preceding a command to the LiteCommands new
field `comments`.
This can be usefull for example when defining a function with `def`. Nushell
could pick up the comments and display them when the user types `help my_def_func`.
Example
```shell
def my_echo [arg] { echo $arg }
```
The LiteCommand def will now contain the comments `My echo` and `It's much
better :)`.
The comment is not associated with the next command if there is a (or multiple) newline
between them.
Example
```shell
echo 42
```
This new functionality is similar to DocStrings. One might introduce a special
notation for such DocStrings, so that the parser can differentiate better
between discardable comments and usefull documentation.
* Update dependencies
* Document the lexer and lightly improve its names
The bulk of this pull request adds a substantial amount of new inline
documentation for the lexer. Along the way, I made a few minor changes
to the names in the lexer, most of which were internal.
The main change that affects other files is renaming `group` to `block`,
since the function is actually parsing a block (a list of groups).
* Fix rustfmt
* Update lock

Previously everything starting with "$" was parsed as a column path.
With this commit applied, the lite_arg starting with $ is parsed as
the most appropriate thing
- $true/$false ==> Expression::Boolean
- $(...) ==> Invocation
- $it ==> ColumnPath
- Anything with at least one '.' ==> ColumnPath
- Anything else ==> Variable
* Ignore failing tests
* Implement exclusive and inclusive ranges with .. and ..=
This commit adds right-exclusive ranges.
The original a..b inclusive syntax was changed to reflect the Rust notation.
New a..=b syntax was introduced to have the old behavior.
Currently, both a.. and b..= is valid, and it is unclear whether it's valid
to impose restrictions.
The original issue suggests .. for inclusive and ..< for exclusive ranges,
this can be implemented by making simple changes to this commit.
* Fix collect tests by changing ranges to ..=
* Fix clippy lints in exclusive range matching
* Implement exclusive ranges using `..<`
Previously, lite parse would stack up opening delimiters in vec, and if we
didn't close everything off, it would simply return an error with a partial form
that didn't include the missing closing delimiters. This commits adds those
delimiters so that `classify_block` can parse correctly.
The completion engine maps completion locations to spans on a line, which
indicate whther to complete a command name, flag name, argument, and so on.
Initial implementation is simplistic, with some rough edges, since it relies
heavily on the parser's interpretation. For example
du -
if asking for completions, `-` is considered a positional argument by the
parser, but the user is likely looking for a flag. These scenarios will be
addressed in a series of progressive enhancements to the engine.
* Add deserialization of Primitive::Duration; Fixes#2373
* Implement Sleep command
* Add comment saying you should name your rest field "rest"
* Fix typo
* Add documentation for sleep command
* Changed time units as outlined in issue #2353.
Also applied changes to to_str for Unit - not sure if that was what was wanted.
* Forgot the tests!
* Updated primitive.rs to match changes.
* Updated where example to match changes.
* And the html test!
* Move lite_parse tests into a submodule
* Have lite_parse return partial parses when error encountered.
Although a parse fails, we can generally still return what was successfully
parsed. This is useful, for example, when figuring out completions at some
cursor position, because we can map the cursor to something more structured
(e.g., cursor is at a flag name).
Our own custom escaping unfortunately is far too simple to cover all cases.
Instead, the parser will now do no transforms on the args passed to an external
command, letting the process spawning library deal with doing the appropriate
escaping.
