[![NPM Version](https://badge.fury.io/js/@shexjs%2Fparser.png)](https://npmjs.org/package/shex) [![ShapeExpressions Gitter chat https://gitter.im/shapeExpressions/Lobby](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/shapeExpressions/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) [![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.1213693.svg)](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1213693) # @shexjs/parser Parse [ShExC](https://shex.io/shex-semantics/#shexc), return [ShExJ](https://shex.io/shex-semantics/#shexj) ## install ``` shell npm install --save @shexjs/parser ``` ## Quick Start Invoke from the command line: ``` sh node -e 'console.log( JSON.stringify(require("@shexjs/parser") .construct() .parse(" { [1 2] }"), null, 2) )' ``` The result is a ShExJ expression of the input schema: ``` json { "type": "Schema", "shapes": [ { "id": "http://a.example/S1", "type": "Shape", "expression": { "type": "TripleConstraint", "predicate": "http://a.example/p1", "valueExpr": { "type": "NodeConstraint", "values": [ { "value": "1", "type": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer" }, { "value": "2", "type": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer" } ] } } } ] } ``` ## Base IRI Providing a Base IRI (see [MDN docs for URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL)) allows you to parse schemas with relative URLs for e.g. shape and property names: ``` sh node -e 'console.log( JSON.stringify(require("@shexjs/parser") .construct("http://a.example/") .parse(" { [1 2] }"), null, 2) )' ``` ``` json { "type": "Schema", "shapes": [ { "id": "http://a.example/S1", "type": "Shape", "expression": { "type": "TripleConstraint", "predicate": "http://a.example/p1", "valueExpr": { "type": "NodeConstraint", "values": [ { "value": "1", "type": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer" }, { "value": "2", "type": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer" } ] } } } ] } ``` ## Pre-loaded prefixes A second parameter to `construct` is a map for prefixes that are not defined in the schema: ``` sh node -e 'console.log( JSON.stringify(require("@shexjs/parser") .construct("http://a.example/path/path2/", {v: "http://a.example/vocab#"}) .parse("BASE <../path3>\nPREFIX : <#>\n { :p1 [v:v1 v:v2] }"), null, 2) )' ``` ``` json { "type": "Schema", "shapes": [ { "id": "http://a.example/path/S1", "type": "Shape", "expression": { "type": "TripleConstraint", "predicate": "http://a.example/path/path3#p1", "valueExpr": { "type": "NodeConstraint", "values": [ "http://a.example/vocab#v1", "http://a.example/vocab#v2" ] } } } ] } ``` ## Index option The third `construct` parameter is for passing parsing options. One handy one is `index`, which returns the final base (`._base`) and prefix mapping (`._prefixes`) encountered during parsing. The `._index` provides indexes into the ShExJ's labled shape declarations and triple expressions : ``` sh node -e 'console.log( JSON.stringify(require("@shexjs/parser") .construct("http://a.example/path/path2/", {v: "http://a.example/vocab#"}, {index:true}) .parse("BASE <../path3>\nPREFIX : <#>\n { :p1 [v:v1 v:v2] }"), null, 2) )' ``` ``` json { "type": "Schema", "shapes": [ { "id": "http://a.example/path/S1", "type": "Shape", "expression": { "type": "TripleConstraint", "predicate": "http://a.example/path/path3#p1", "valueExpr": { "type": "NodeConstraint", "values": [ "http://a.example/vocab#v1", "http://a.example/vocab#v2" ] } } } ], "_base": "http://a.example/path/path3", "_prefixes": { "": "http://a.example/path/path3#" }, "_index": { "shapeExprs": { "http://a.example/path/S1": }, "tripleExprs": {} } } ``` # Lerna Monorepo This repo uses [lerna](https://github.com/lerna/lerna) to manage multiple NPM packages.
