Quasi quotation parser for JavaScript that allows for embedding
Prolog variables to substitude identifiers in the JavaScript
snippet. Parameterizing a JavaScript string is achieved using
the JavaScript + operator, which results in concatenation at
the client side.
...,
js_script({|javascript(Id, Config)||
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#"+Id).tagit(Config);
});
|}),
...
The current implementation tokenizes the JavaScript input and
yields syntax errors on unterminated comments, strings, etc. No
further parsing is implemented, which makes it possible to
produce syntactically incorrect and partial JavaScript. Future
versions are likely to include a full parser, generating syntax
errors.
The parser produces a term \List, which is suitable for
js_script//1 and html//1. Embedded variables are mapped to
\js_expression(Var), while the remaining text is mapped to
atoms.
- To be done
- - Implement a full JavaScript parser. Users should not
rely on the ability to generate partial JavaScript
snippets.
