RBS parser (deprecated)

⚠️ This repository is no longer maintained.

rbs_parser provides an API and a command line tool to parse Ruby RBS signatures and translate them to Sorbet's RBI format.

See the comparison of supported features by both specifications and what rbs2rbi is able to translate.

Compilation

Compile the rbs2rbi translator:

$ make

Requirements:

bison 3.4
ragel 6.10
clang 11.0

Usage

Given the following RBS file:

# calculator.rbs

class Calculator
  def sum: (Integer, Integer) -> Integer
end

Translate it to RBI with rbs2rbi:

$ rbs2rbi calculator.rbs

RBI is output to stdout, parsing errors and RBI translation errors to stderr:

# typed: true

class Calculator
  extend T::Sig

  sig { params(arg0: Integer, arg1: Integer).returns(Integer) }
  def sum(arg0, arg1); end
end

Writing your own translator

Create a subclass of Visitor or PrintVisitor:

#include "File.hh"
#include "PrintVisitor.hh"

class PrintMyFormat : public PrintVisitor {
public:
    PrintMyFormat(std::ostream &output) : PrintVisitor(output){};

    virtual void visit(File *file) {
        for (auto *decl : file->decls) {
            enterVisit(decl);
        }
    }

    virtual void visit(TypeBool *type) { print("Bool"); }

    virtual void visit(TypeNil *type) { print("Nil"); }

    // ...
}
