TreeStand

NOTE: TreeStand has been vendored in ruby-tree-sitter see github.com/Faveod/ruby-tree-sitter for latest releases.

TreeStand is a high-level Ruby wrapper for the Tree-sitter bindings. It makes it easier to configure the parsers, and work with the underlying syntax tree.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem "ruby_tree_sitter"

See the documentation for supported features.

Usage

Setting Up a Parser

TreeStand does not help with compiling individual parsers. However, once you compile a parser and generate a shared object (.so) or a dynamic library (.dylib) you can tell TreeStand where to find them and pass the parser filename to TreeStand::Parser::new.

TreeStand.configure do
  config.parser_path = "path/to/parser/folder/"
end

sql_parser = TreeStand::Parser.new("sql")
ruby_parser = TreeStand::Parser.new("ruby")

API Conventions

TreeStand aims to provide APIs similar to TreeSitter when possible. For example, the TreeSitter parser exposes a #parse_string(tree, document) method. TreeStand replicates this behaviour closely with it’s #parse_string(document, tree: nil) method but augments it to return a TreeStand::Tree instead of the underlying TreeSitter::Tree. Similarly, TreeStand::Tree#root_node returns a TreeStand::Node & TreeSitter::Tree#root_node returns a TreeSitter::Node.

The underlying objects are accessible via a ts_ prefixed attribute, e.g. ts_parser, ts_tree, ts_node, etc.
