Public Class Methods

Prism::dump(source, **options) → String

Source

static VALUE
dump(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
    pm_string_t input;
    pm_options_t options = { 0 };
    string_options(argc, argv, &input, &options);

#ifdef PRISM_BUILD_DEBUG
    size_t length = pm_string_length(&input);
    char* dup = xmalloc(length);
    memcpy(dup, pm_string_source(&input), length);
    pm_string_constant_init(&input, dup, length);
#endif

    VALUE value = dump_input(&input, &options);

#ifdef PRISM_BUILD_DEBUG
    xfree(dup);
#endif

    pm_string_free(&input);
    pm_options_free(&options);

    return value;
}

Dump the AST corresponding to the given string to a string. For supported options, see Prism::parse.

Prism::dump_file(filepath, **options) → String

Source

static VALUE
dump_file(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
    pm_string_t input;
    pm_options_t options = { 0 };

    VALUE encoded_filepath;
    file_options(argc, argv, &input, &options, &encoded_filepath);

    VALUE value = dump_input(&input, &options);
    pm_string_free(&input);
    pm_options_free(&options);

    return value;
}

Dump the AST corresponding to the given file to a string. For supported options, see Prism::parse.

Prism::lex(source, **options) → LexResult

Source

static VALUE
lex(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
    pm_string_t input;
    pm_options_t options = { 0 };
    string_options(argc, argv, &input, &options);

    VALUE result = parse_lex_input(&input, &options, false);
    pm_string_free(&input);
    pm_options_free(&options);

    return result;
}

Return a LexResult instance that contains an array of Token instances corresponding to the given string. For supported options, see Prism::parse.

Prism::lex_compat(source, **options) → LexCompat::Result

Source

# File lib/prism.rb, line 47
def self.lex_compat(source, **options)
  LexCompat.new(source, **options).result # steep:ignore
end

Returns a parse result whose value is an array of tokens that closely resembles the return value of Ripper::lex. The main difference is that the :on_sp token is not emitted.

For supported options, see Prism::parse.

Prism::lex_file(filepath, **options) → LexResult

Source

static VALUE
lex_file(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
    pm_string_t input;
    pm_options_t options = { 0 };

    VALUE encoded_filepath;
    file_options(argc, argv, &input, &options, &encoded_filepath);

    VALUE value = parse_lex_input(&input, &options, false);
    pm_string_free(&input);
    pm_options_free(&options);

    return value;
}

Return a LexResult instance that contains an array of Token instances corresponding to the given file. For supported options, see Prism::parse.

Prism::lex_ripper(source) → Array

Source

# File lib/prism.rb, line 57
def self.lex_ripper(source)
  LexRipper.new(source).result # steep:ignore
end

This lexes with the Ripper lex. It drops any space events but otherwise returns the same tokens. Raises SyntaxError if the syntax in source is invalid.

Prism::load(source, serialized) → ParseResult

Source

# File lib/prism.rb, line 65
def self.load(source, serialized)
  Serialize.load(source, serialized)
end

Load the serialized AST using the source as a reference into a tree.

Prism::parse(source, **options) → ParseResult

Source

static VALUE
parse(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
    pm_string_t input;
    pm_options_t options = { 0 };
    string_options(argc, argv, &input, &options);

#ifdef PRISM_BUILD_DEBUG
    size_t length = pm_string_length(&input);
    char* dup = xmalloc(length);
    memcpy(dup, pm_string_source(&input), length);
    pm_string_constant_init(&input, dup, length);
#endif

    VALUE value = parse_input(&input, &options);

#ifdef PRISM_BUILD_DEBUG
    xfree(dup);
#endif

    pm_string_free(&input);
    pm_options_free(&options);
    return value;
}

Parse the given string and return a ParseResult instance. The options that are supported are:

command_line - either nil or a string of the various options that were set on the command line. Valid values are combinations of “a”, “l”, “n”, “p”, and “x”.
encoding - the encoding of the source being parsed. This should be an encoding or nil.
filepath - the filepath of the source being parsed. This should be a string or nil.
frozen_string_literal - whether or not the frozen string literal pragma has been set. This should be a boolean or nil.
line - the line number that the parse starts on. This should be an integer or nil. Note that this is 1-indexed.
main_script - a boolean indicating whether or not the source being parsed is the main script being run by the interpreter. This controls whether or not shebangs are parsed for additional flags and whether or not the parser will attempt to find a matching shebang if the first one does not contain the word “ruby”.
partial_script - when the file being parsed is considered a “partial” script, jumps will not be marked as errors if they are not contained within loops/blocks. This is used in the case that you’re parsing a script that you know will be embedded inside another script later, but you do not have that context yet. For example, when parsing an ERB template that will be evaluated inside another script.
scopes - the locals that are in scope surrounding the code that is being parsed. This should be an array of arrays of symbols or nil. Scopes are ordered from the outermost scope to the innermost one.
version - the version of Ruby syntax that prism should used to parse Ruby code. By default prism assumes you want to parse with the latest version of Ruby syntax (which you can trigger with nil or "latest"). You may also restrict the syntax to a specific version of Ruby, e.g., with "3.3.0". To parse with the same syntax version that the current Ruby is running use version: RUBY_VERSION. Raises ArgumentError if the version is not currently supported by Prism.
