Decodable

protocol Decodable

Makes it possible for any Decodable to be constructed using a source string and language. You can specify your own AbstractSyntaxTreeConstructor should you wish.

  • Creates a new instance of the Decodeable using the supplied source and language.

    Declaration

    Swift

    static func decode(_ source: String, using language: Grammar) throws -> Self

    Parameters

    source

    The source to be parsed and then decoded
    language

    The language to parse the source with

    Return Value

    A new instance of the Type

  • Creates a new instance of the Decodeable using the supplied source and language. You typically do not need to use this variant of the function and can use the simpler decode(_ source:String, using language:Language) throws ->Self which does not require the provision of your own DecodableAbstractSyntaxTree

    Declaration

    Swift

    static func decode<AST>(_ source: String, with astType: AST.Type, using language: Grammar) throws -> Self where AST : DecodeableAbstractSyntaxTree

    Parameters

    source

    The source to be parsed and then decoded
    astType

    The intermediate DecodeableAbstractSyntaxTree
    language

    The language to parse the source with

    Return Value

    A new instance of the Type
