How to create a FYSS_LITERAL scalar? #79

Open yrashk opened 1 year ago

yrashk commented 1 year ago

I am finding a situation in which I'd prefer to have a literal scalar so that when I emit a document, these strings are emitted using multi-line syntax instead of quoted string with \ns. I couldn't find a way to do this yet.

Is this supported, and if it is not, is there interest in getting it supported? I'd be happy to contribute if necessary.

You're right, there are no style hints when creating a scalar. What is missing is a method to alter the style of the created node an analogous of fy_event_get_node_style().

I'm making a note.

Thank you! Please let me know if I can help in any way with this or other parts of the project.

I'm using the library in this project https://docs.omnigres.org/pg_yregress/usage/ and would love to make it even better.

I noticed cmake support is out of sync on master. Do you need any help with that?

As for the original issue, I am noticing that the inability to set this style leads to unquoted empty strings:

which may sometimes be undesirable

It looks like #78 may be the implementation necessary for this.

Well, this is a bug actually...
