* Add initial support for template literals with no
interpolation
* Change ‘unexpected string’ error message tests to
use number not identifier prefix.
Identifer prefixes are now valid as tagged
template literals
* Test tagged template literals for non-interpolated
strings and tag function.
* Tagged template literals work for pure Strings.
Pull tagged template definition up to Invocation
level in grammar, enabling chained invocation calls.
We can view a tagged template is a special form
of function call.
* Readying for StringWithInterpolations work.
* Tweaks.
* Fix style
* Pass StringWithInterpolations parameter straight
into Call constructor.
StringWithInterpolations will be output as
template literal, so already in correct form for
outputting tagged template literal.
* Strip down compileNode for StringWithInterpolations
* Done StringLiteral case for interpolated Strings
* Remove need for TemplateLiteral
* Simplify code.
* Small code tidy
* Interpolated strings now outputting as template literals.
Still needs comprehensive testing.
* Move error message tests into error_messages.coffee; remove test that is testing for a Node runtime error
* Split up tests that were testing multiple things per test, so that each test tests only one thing
* Edge cases: tagged template literals containing interpolated strings or even internal tagged template literals
* Make more concise, more idiomatic style
* Pull back extreme indentation
* Restore and fix commented-out tests
* Edge case: tagged template literal with empty string
* Only use new ES2015 interpolated string syntax if we’re inside a tagged template literal; this keeps this PR safe to merge into CoffeeScript 1.x. Remove the code from this commit to make all interpolated strings use ES2015 syntax, for CoffeeScript 2.
* Compiler now _doesn’t_ use template literals.
* Expand tagged template literal tests
* Move ‘Unexpected string’ error message tests into
tagged template literal section.
‘Unexpected string’ is not reported in these test
scenarios anymore. Instead, we error that the
prefixing literal is not a function.
* Don’t unwrap StringWithInterpolations.
Saw bug with program consisting of “#{2}” not
compiling with template literals. Root cause was
that Block.compileNode was unwrapping interpolated
string and so didn’t use compileNode logic at
StringWithInterpolations level.
* No need to bracket interpolated strings any more.
When interpolated string looks like `hello ${2}`,
no extract brackets are needed, as the `s mark the
beginning and end.
* Show html templating with tagged template literals
* Multiline should match multiline
* Comment out unnecessary `unwrap`, which is only needed for CoffeeScript 2 all-ES2015 syntax output
* Added support for for-from loop, see #3832
* for-from: remove extra newline and add support for ranges
* for-from: tidy up the lexer
* for-from: add support for patterns
* for-from: fix bad alignment
* for-from: add two more tests
* for-from: fix test "for-from loops over generators"
See explanation here: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/pull/4306#issuecomment-257066877
* for-from: delete leftover console.log
* Refactor the big `if` block in the lexer to be as minimal a change from `master` as we can get away with
* Cleanup to make more idiomatic, remove trailing whitespace, minor performance improvements
* for-from: move code from one file to another
* for-from: clean up whitespace
* for-from: lexer bikeshedding
* Move "own is not supported in for-from loops" test into error_messages.coffee; improve error message so that "own" is underlined
* Revert unnecessary changes, to minimize the lines of code modified by this PR
`isLiteralArguments` mistakenly looked at `Literal`s instead of
`IdentifierLiteral`s.
This also gets rid of the ugly `.asKey` hack in nodes.coffee.
Fixes#4320.
This pull request adds support for ES2015 modules, by recognizing `import` and `export` statements. The following syntaxes are supported, based on the MDN [import](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import) and [export](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/export) pages:
```js
import "module-name"
import defaultMember from "module-name"
import * as name from "module-name"
import { } from "module-name"
import { member } from "module-name"
import { member as alias } from "module-name"
import { member1, member2 as alias2, … } from "module-name"
import defaultMember, * as name from "module-name"
import defaultMember, { … } from "module-name"
export default expression
export class name
export { }
export { name }
export { name as exportedName }
export { name as default }
export { name1, name2 as exportedName2, name3 as default, … }
export * from "module-name"
export { … } from "module-name"
```
As a subsitute for ECMAScript’s `export var name = …` and `export function name {}`, CoffeeScript also supports:
```js
export name = …
```
CoffeeScript also supports optional commas within `{ … }`.
This PR converts the supported `import` and `export` statements into ES2015 `import` and `export` statements; it **does not resolve the modules**. So any CoffeeScript with `import` or `export` statements will be output as ES2015, and will need to be transpiled by another tool such as Babel before it can be used in a browser. We will need to add a warning to the documentation explaining this.
This should be fully backwards-compatible, as `import` and `export` were previously reserved keywords. No flags are used.
There are extensive tests included, though because no current JavaScript runtime supports `import` or `export`, the tests compare strings of what the compiled CoffeeScript output is against what the expected ES2015 should be. I also conducted two more elaborate tests:
* I forked the [ember-piqu](https://github.com/pauc/piqu-ember) project, which was an Ember CLI app that used ember-cli-coffeescript and [ember-cli-coffees6](https://github.com/alexspeller/ember-cli-coffees6) (which adds “support” for `import`/`export` by wrapping such statements in backticks before passing the result to the CoffeeScript compiler). I removed `ember-cli-coffees6` and replaced the CoffeeScript compiler used in the build chain with this code, and the app built without errors. [Demo here.](https://github.com/GeoffreyBooth/coffeescript-modules-test-piqu)
* I also forked the [CoffeeScript version of Meteor’s Todos example app](https://github.com/meteor/todos/tree/coffeescript), and replaced all of its `require` statements with the `import` and `export` statements from the original ES2015 version of the app on its `master` branch. I then updated the `coffeescript` Meteor package in the app to use this new code, and again the app builds without errors. [Demo here.](https://github.com/GeoffreyBooth/coffeescript-modules-test-meteor-todos)
The discussion history for this work started [here](https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/pull/4160) and continued [here](https://github.com/GeoffreyBooth/coffeescript/pull/2). @lydell provided guidance, and @JimPanic and @rattrayalex contributed essential code.
- Split out a PROPERTY token from the IDENTIFIER token.
- Split out Property from the Identifier in the grammar.
- Split out PropertyLiteral from IdentifierLiteral.
- Show the same type of error message for compound assignment as for `=`
assignment when the LHS is invalid.
- Show the same type of error message when trying to assign to a CoffeeScript
keyword as when trying to assign to a JavaScript keyword.
- Now longer treat `&& =` as `&&=`. The same goes for `and=`, `||=` and `or=`.
- Unify the error message to: `<optional type> '<value>' can't be assigned`.
Previously, the parser created `Literal` nodes for many things. This resulted in
information loss. Instead of being able to check the node type, we had to use
regexes to tell the different types of `Literal`s apart. That was a bit like
parsing literals twice: Once in the lexer, and once (or more) in the compiler.
It also caused problems, such as `` `this` `` and `this` being indistinguishable
(fixes#2009).
Instead returning `new Literal` in the grammar, subtypes of it are now returned
instead, such as `NumberLiteral`, `StringLiteral` and `IdentifierLiteral`. `new
Literal` by itself is only used to represent code chunks that fit no category.
(While mentioning `NumberLiteral`, there's also `InfinityLiteral` now, which is
a subtype of `NumberLiteral`.)
`StringWithInterpolations` has been added as a subtype of `Parens`, and
`RegexWithInterpolations` as a subtype of `Call`. This makes it easier for other
programs to make use of CoffeeScript's "AST" (nodes). For example, it is now
possible to distinguish between `"a #{b} c"` and `"a " + b + " c"`. Fixes#4192.
`SuperCall` has been added as a subtype of `Call`.
Note, though, that some information is still lost, especially in the lexer. For
example, there is no way to distinguish a heredoc from a regular string, or a
heregex without interpolations from a regular regex. Binary and octal number
literals are indistinguishable from hexadecimal literals.
After the new subtypes were added, they were taken advantage of, removing most
regexes in nodes.coffee. `SIMPLENUM` (which matches non-hex integers) had to be
kept, though, because such numbers need special handling in JavaScript (for
example in `1..toString()`).
An especially nice hack to get rid of was using `new String()` for the token
value for reserved identifiers (to be able to set a property on them which could
survive through the parser). Now it's a good old regular string.
In range literals, slices, splices and for loop steps when number literals
are involved, CoffeeScript can do some optimizations, such as precomputing the
value of, say, `5 - 3` (outputting `2` instead of `5 - 3` literally). As a side
bonus, this now also works with hexadecimal number literals, such as `0x02`.
Finally, this also improves the output of `coffee --nodes`:
# Before:
$ bin/coffee -ne 'while true
"#{a}"
break'
Block
While
Value
Bool
Block
Value
Parens
Block
Op +
Value """"
Value
Parens
Block
Value "a" "break"
# After:
$ bin/coffee -ne 'while true
"#{a}"
break'
Block
While
Value BooleanLiteral: true
Block
Value
StringWithInterpolations
Block
Op +
Value StringLiteral: ""
Value
Parens
Block
Value IdentifierLiteral: a
StatementLiteral: break
`({a = 1}) ->` and `({a: b}) ->` worked, but not the combination of the two:
`({a: b = 1}) ->`. That destrucuring worked for normal assignments, though:
`{a: b = 1} = c`. This commit fixes the param case.
This let's you do things like:
fullName = ({first = 'John', last = 'Doe'}) -> "#{first} #{last}"
Note: CoffeeScrits treats `undefined` and `null` the same, and that's true in
the case of destructuring defaults as well, as opposed to ES2015 which only uses
the default value if the target is `undefined`. A similar ES2015 difference
already exists for function parameter defaults. It is important for CoffeeScript
to be consistent with itself.
fullName2 = (first = 'John', last = 'Doe') -> "#{first} #{last}"
assert fullName('Bob', null) is fullName2(first: 'Bob', last: null)
Fixes#1558, #3288 and #4005.
Let me know if there's something I should be doing differently as this is my first contribution to coffeescript.
I fixed the reported issue where a generated variable could clash with a user-defined one in a try/catch block.
I added a test for a few scenarios with different variable names for a try/catch, to confirm the fix and avoid regressions.
The following is now allowed:
o =
a: 1
b: 2
"#{'c'}": 3
"#{'d'}": 4
e: 5
"#{'f'}": 6
g: 7
It compiles to:
o = (
obj = {
a: 1,
b: 2
},
obj["" + 'c'] = 3,
obj["" + 'd'] = 4,
obj.e = 5,
obj["" + 'f'] = 6,
obj.g = 7,
obj
);
- Closes#3039. Empty interpolations in object keys are now _supposed_ to be
allowed.
- Closes#1131. No need to improve error messages for attempted key
interpolation anymore.
- Implementing this required fixing the following bug: `("" + a): 1` used to
error out on the colon, saying "unexpected colon". But really, it is the
attempted object key that is unexpected. Now the error is on the opening
parenthesis instead.
- However, the above fix broke some error message tests for regexes. The easiest
way to fix this was to make a seemingly unrelated change: The error messages
for unexpected identifiers, numbers, strings and regexes now say for example
'unexpected string' instead of 'unexpected """some #{really long} string"""'.
In other words, the tag _name_ is used instead of the tag _value_.
This was way easier to implement, and is more helpful to the user. Using the
tag value is good for operators, reserved words and the like, but not for
tokens which can contain any text. For example, 'unexpected identifier' is
better than 'unexpected expected' (if a variable called 'expected' was used
erraneously).
- While writing tests for the above point I found a few minor bugs with string
locations which have been fixed.
As discussed in https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/issues/3039#issuecomment-68916918.
This is the first step to implement dynamic object literal keys (see #3597).
This also fixes#1392.
In short, `super` is now allowed:
# in class definitions:
class A
instanceMethod: -> super
@staticMethod: -> super
@staticMethod2 = -> super
# in assignment where the next to last access is 'prototype':
A::m = -> super
A.prototype.m = -> super
a.b()[5]::m = -> super
A::[x()] = -> super
class B
@::m = -> super
The following two lines might seem equivalent:
for n in [1, 2, 3] by a then a = 4; n
for n in [1, 2, 3] by +a then a = 4; n
But they used not to be, because `+a` was cached into a `ref`, while the plain
`a` wasn’t. Now even simple identifiers are cached, making the two lines
equivalent as expected.
As evidenced in #3804, commit 8ab15d7 broke the CoffeeScript API. The REPL uses
those APIs, but wasn't updated in that commit. Still, that shouldn't have
_broken_ the REPL. The reason it broke is because the added _option_
'referencedVars' wasn't actually _optional;_ if it was omitted code that relies
on it being set broke. This commit defaults that option to an empty array, which
makes things behave exactly like before when the 'referencedVars' option is
omitted.
