A simple little transpiler generator for node.js

smpl's Issues

indentation level parsing?

could smpl be used to create a simple coffeescript like language based on indentation level?

Create Extended Documentation

We need an extended documentation section in the Wiki. I was thinking we could seperate it as follows

• Inspiration
• Getting Started
• Core Docs
  • syntax
  • expression variables
  • command line
  • package.json
• Resources
• Projects Using Smpl
• RoadMap

Pattern priority

Refactor Code

This I am reserving for v.0.2.0. I want to refactor the code so that it does not include so many dependencies. Also, I want to refactor the core library to be more functional so that I can condense the file size.

Dependencies I would like to refactor out:

• Pstrscan
• gulp
• gulp-dependencies
• vorpal

Pstrscan I plan to create a new fork which does not include the need for proteus. Also, i can reduce the public methods to just .scan .scanUntil .check .checkUntil .unscan and .revert. All other methods are unnecessary.

Replace gulp with node-glob since that is all that I need gulp for anyway. We can pipe functions to glob stream and replace gulp dependencies. Also, using chalk to colorize output in terminal;

commander can replace vorpal and eliminate the need for compile command after smpl. new command can read as follows

$ smpl ./path/to/dest/**.glob --flags

Grouping Bug with Delims in pattern

There is currently a bug where if you make a pattern which includes one of the delim'd pattern variables

$variable:paren
$variable:brack
$variable:curly
$variabl:group

The parser hangs up and doesnt give you an output. Probably have to make refactor code to account for this condition.

update: the syntax in question goes as follows

pattern ( $( $match:group )(,)... ) anthing else )

the problem is has something to do with the regex being used for the delim types. I think it has to do with the amount of \s* classes. I think it confuses the parser.

Create Tests in Mocha

I need to add some tests so that devs can be updated as to the status of the current working version and what is to be expected in future versions.
