An HTML lexer & parser that provides both visitor and listener patterns to traverse the parse tree.
## Overview
This is a continuous-delivery focused synthesis of the [ANTLR4 HTML grammar](https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4/tree/master/html) and the Optimized ANLTR TypeScript target provided by [antlr4ts](https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/antlr4ts).
- **Releases:** See the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/brucificus/html-antlr4-typescript/releases) page for release notes and
links to the distribution.
- **Feedback:**
Got a feature request to make, or a bug to complain about? Depending on the nature of your feedback, it probably needs to go to one of three places:
- 📐 For the _grammar_ (which includes the API "shape" of the generated lexer/parser), provide feedback at [the ANTLR4 grammar's GitHub Issues](https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4/issues).
- 🔢 For the _code generated_ based on the grammar (or the runtime it depends on), provide feedback at [antlr4ts's GitHub Issues](https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/antlr4ts/issues).
- 🚀 For the _deployment process_ (versioning, update cadence, documentation), provide feedback at our own [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/brucificus/html-antlr4-typescript).
If in doubt, talk to us first so we can try to point you in the right direction.
## Getting started
1. Install `html-antlr4` and `antlr4ts` as dependencies using your preferred package manager.
```bash
npm install html-antlr4 antlr4ts --save
```
```bash
yarn add html-antlr4 antlr4ts
```
2. Use your grammar in TypeScript (or JavaScript)
```typescript
import { HTMLLexer, HTMLParser } from "html-antlr4";
import { ANTLRInputStream, CommonTokenStream } from "antlr4ts";
let inputStream = new ANTLRInputStream("Hello there, world!");
let lexer = new HTMLLexer(inputStream);
let tokenStream = new CommonTokenStream(lexer);
let parser = new HTMLParser(tokenStream);
let tree = parser.htmlDocument();
```
The two main ways to inspect the tree are by using a listener or a visitor, you can read about the differences between the two [here](https://github.com/antlr/antlr4/blob/master/doc/listeners.md).
###### Listener Approach
```typescript
// ...
import { HTMLParserListener, HtmlElementContext } from "html-antlr4";
import { ParseTreeWalker } from "antlr4ts/tree";
class EnterHtmlElementListener implements HTMLParserListener {
enterHtmlElement(context: HtmlElementContext) {
console.log(`Element start line number ${context._start.line}`);
// ...
}
// other enterX functions...
}
// Create the listener
const listener: HTMLParserListener = new EnterHtmlElementListener();
// Use the entry point for listeners
ParseTreeWalker.DEFAULT.walk(listener, tree);
```
###### Visitor Approach
```typescript
// ...
import { HTMLParserVisitor, HtmlElementContext } from "html-antlr4";
import { AbstractParseTreeVisitor } from "antlr4ts/tree";
// Extend the AbstractParseTreeVisitor to get default visitor behaviour
class CountElementsVisitor
extends AbstractParseTreeVisitor
implements HTMLParserVisitor {
defaultResult() {
return 0;
}
aggregateResult(aggregate: number, nextResult: number) {
return aggregate + nextResult;
}
visitHtmlElement(context: HtmlElementContext): number {
return 1 + super.visitChildren(context);
}
}
// Create the visitor
const countElementsVisitor = new CountElementsVisitor();
// Use the visitor entry point
const count = countElementsVisitor.visit(tree);
console.log(`There are ${count} elements`);
```
