Typed Macros

Allow creation of macros from within tackle files

• Proposal Status: wip

• Issue Number: 250

• Proposal Doc: typed-macros.md

Overview

from typing import Callable

from tackle import Context

KEY_MACROS: list[Callable[[Context, str], dict]]

VALUE_MACROS: list[Callable[[Context, str], dict]]

Macro Types

• key(context: Context, key: str, value: Any) -> (key: str, value: Any)

• value(context: Context, key: str, value: Any) -> (key: str, value: Any)

Macros:

• var_hook_macro(args: list) -> list

  • First arg has

  • value macro

• blocks_macro(context: 'Context')

  • Rewrite a key to a value dict

• compact_hook_call_macro(context: 'Context', element: str) -> dict

  • String values to dict values

• list_to_var_macro(context: 'Context', element: list) -> dict

  • Hooks with keys and list value get turned into var hooks

• function_field_to_parseable_macro(func_dict: dict, context: 'Context', func_name: str) -> dict

  • Takes the fields in a function and updates them based on if they have hooks and things

Order

Every key:

• Check for arrows in last chars

  • Signifies block / compact / var hooks

  • value is:

  • string

    • compact / var

  • dict

    • block

  • list

    • list to var

Key Macros

Compact Hook

key->: value

key:

  ->: value

Special Keys

• return

• assert

• import

• merge

• raise

• exit

• print

• cmd

• set

• append

• pop

• delete

• update

• generate

• gen

return

return->: "{{value}}"

return:

  ->: "{{value}}"

return: # Key doesn't matter as value is the only data exported

  ->: return

  value: "{{value}}"

return->:

  "{{value}}": "{{key}}"

return:

  ->:

    "{{value}}": "{{key}}"

return:

  ->: return

  value:

    "{{value}}": "{{key}}"

import

import->: foo/bar

import:

  ->: foo/bar

import->:

  - foo/bar

  - foo/bar2

import:

  ->: import

  providers:

    - foo/bar

assert

assert->: foo==bar

assert:

  ->: foo==bar

assert->:

  - foo==bar

  - foo==bar2

assert:

  ->: assert

  skip_output: true

  providers:

    - foo==bar

merge

merge->:

  foo: bar

merge:

  ->: literal  

  ->: var

  merge: true

  input:

    foo: bar

Expand Keys

key:

  ->: value --a-key foo

key:

  ->: value

  a_key: foo

Block

key:

  ->:

    if: foo == 'bar'

    key: value  

key:

  ->: block

  if: foo == 'bar'

  key: value  

Note: Block hook maps unknown kwargs to items.

Macro could alternatively do this:

key:

  ->: block

  if: foo == 'bar'

  items:

    key: value  

Issues

• input_dict

  • Old macros didn't only just return a new value but would re-write the input

  • This is because later in the parsing we use the input dict to grab some data

  • parse_sub_context from new_hook from ...

    • If you don't rewrite the input data then you can't access

    • This call can likely be avoided as I am not sure wtf is happening there

    • Looks like we can grab the new context to parse from
