❄️ Yukigo (WIP)

A universal, multi-language, multi-paradigm code analyzer highly inspired in mulang

Components

Abstract Semantic Tree:

This is the intermediate representation of any language. Allows us to analyse the semantics of the code independently of the paradigm or the language.

Analyzer:

The Analyzer is the component that traverses the AST and runs the specified inspections.

Interpreter:

The Interpreter is the component that evaluates provided Expression nodes and returns the resultant PrimitiveValue

Usage

Installation

We will be using Haskell as the target language in this example.

npm install yukigo yukigo-haskell-parser

or

yarn add yukigo yukigo-haskell-parser

Example

import { Analyzer } from "yukigo";
import { YukigoHaskellParser } from "yukigo-haskell-parser";

const code = "doble num = num * 2";
const expectations = [
  {
    inspection: "HasBinding",
    args: { name: "minimoEntre" },
    expected: false,
  },
  {
    inspection: "HasBinding",
    args: { name: "doble" },
    expected: true,
  },
];

const parser = new YukigoHaskellParser();
const ast = parser.parse(code);

const analyser = new ASTAnalyzer(ast);
const result = analyser.analyse(expectations);

console.log(results);
// [
//   {
//     rule: {
//       inspection: "HasBinding",
//       args: { name: "minimoEntre" },
//       expected: false,
//     },
//     passed: true,
//     actual: false,
//   },
//   {
//     rule: {
//       inspection: "HasBinding",
//       args: { name: "doble" },
//       expected: true,
//     },
//     passed: true,
//     actual: true,
//   },
// ];

Example with Mulang's Inspections (in a YAML file)

import { Analyzer, translateMulangToInspectionRules } from "yukigo";
import { YukigoHaskellParser } from "yukigo-haskell-parser";

const code = `
squareList :: [Int] -> [Int]
squareList xs = map (\n -> n * n) xs

square :: Int -> Int
square n = n * n

squareList2 :: [Int] -> [Int]
squareList2 = map square
`;

// Assuming the expectations are in a yaml file. Implement a way to load the actual file.
const mulangInspections = `
expectations:
- !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
  binding: squareList
  inspection: HasBinding
- !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
  binding: squareList
  inspection: HasLambdaExpression
- !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
  binding: square
  inspection: HasArithmetic
- !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
  binding: doble
  inspection: Not:HasBinding
- !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
  binding: square
  inspection: Uses:n
- !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
  binding: squareList2
  inspection: Uses:map
`;

const expectations = translateMulangToInspectionRules(mulangInspections);

const parser = new YukigoHaskellParser();
const ast = parser.parse(code);

const analyser = new ASTAnalyzer(ast);
const result = analyser.analyse(expectations);

console.log(results);
// [
//   {
//     rule: { inspection: "HasBinding", args: [Object], expected: true },
//     passed: true,
//     actual: true,
//   },
//   {
//     rule: {
//       inspection: "HasLambdaExpression",
//       args: [Object],
//       expected: true,
//     },
//     passed: true,
//     actual: true,
//   },
//   {
//     rule: { inspection: "HasArithmetic", args: [Object], expected: true },
//     passed: true,
//     actual: true,
//   },
//   {
//     rule: { inspection: "HasBinding", args: [Object], expected: false },
//     passed: true,
//     actual: false,
//   },
//   {
//     rule: { inspection: "Uses", args: [Object], expected: true },
//     passed: true,
//     actual: true,
//   },
//   {
//     rule: { inspection: "Uses", args: [Object], expected: true },
//     passed: true,
//     actual: true,
//   },
// ];

How to make a parser

A yukigo's parser is a class that implements the interface YukigoParser which exposes a public method called parse and an errors array like this:

errors: string[];
parse: (code: string) => AST;

The package yukigo-core has all the current supported AST nodes. For the grammar, you can use a tool like Jison or Nearley.

Here's a tutorial for implementing a small custom language.
