# grunt-peg [](https://travis-ci.org/dvberkel/grunt-peg) [](https://badge.fury.io/js/grunt-peg)
> A grunt multi task that generates parsers from PEG grammars.
## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `>=0.4.0`
If you haven't used [Grunt][] before, be sure to check out the
[Getting Started][] guide, as it explains how to create a
[Gruntfile][] as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're
familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this
command:
```shell
npm install grunt-peg --save-dev
```
One the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your
Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-peg');
```
## The "peg" task
_Run this task with the `grunt peg` command._
Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt [Configuring tasks](http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks) guide.
### Options
Any specified option will be passed through directly to [PEG.js][], thus you can specify any option that PEG.js supports. See the [PEG.js documentation][] for a list of supported options.
[PEG.js]: http://pegjs.majda.cz/
[PEG.js documentation]: http://pegjs.majda.cz/documentation
An additional option is supported:
#### exportVar
Type: `String` | `function`
Default value: 'module.exports'
The variable to which the generated parser will be assigned in the output file.
If the `exportVar` is of type `function`, the function needs to return
the variable as a `String`. The function gets passed the `src`
variable to base the variable off.
### Usage Examples
#### Default Options
In this example a [PEG][] grammar as described in the file
`grammar/example.peg` is used to generate parser
`grammar/example.js`. The default export variable is used,
i.e. `module.exports`.
```js
grunt.initConfig({
peg: {
example: {
src: "grammar/example.peg",
dest: "grammar/example.js"
}
}
})
```
#### Custom Options
In this example a [PEG][] grammar as described in the file
`grammar/example.peg` is used to generate parser
`grammar/example.js`, the export variable being `Example.parser`.
```js
grunt.initConfig({
peg: {
example : {
src: "grammar/example.peg",
dest: "grammar/example.js",
options: { exportVar: "Example.parser" }
}
}
})
```
#### Dynamic `exportVar`
In this example a [PEG][] grammar as described in the file
`grammar/example.peg` is used to generate parser
`grammar/example.js`, the export variable being defined via a function
and will result in `example`.
```js
grunt.initConfig({
peg: {
example : {
src: "grammar/example.peg",
dest: "grammar/example.js",
options: { exportVar: function(src){ return path.basename(src[0], '.peg'); } }
}
}
})
```
#### Passing Options to PEG
In this example a [PEG][] grammar as described in the file
`grammar/example.peg` is used to generate parser
`grammar/example.js`, the export variable being `Example.parser`.
Both the task-specific `trackLineAndColumn` and target-specific
`cache` options will be passed through to PEG.js.
```js
grunt.initConfig({
peg: {
options: { trackLineAndColumn: true },
example : {
src: "grammar/example.peg",
dest: "grammar/example.js",
options: {
exportVar: "Example.parser",
cache: true
}
}
}
})
```
#### Wrap in an Angular Factory
It is also possible to wrap the generated parser in an Angular
factory.
```js
grunt.initConfig({
peg: {
options: { trackLineAndColumn: true },
example : {
src: "grammar/example.peg",
dest: "grammar/example.js",
options: {
angular: {
module: "pegjs",
factory: "exampleParser"
}
}
}
}
})
```
#### Custom Wrapper
It is also possible to wrap the generated parser in any code you
want.
```js
grunt.initConfig({
peg: {
options: { trackLineAndColumn: true },
example : {
src: "grammar/example.peg",
dest: "grammar/example.js",
options: {
wrapper: function (src, parser) {
return 'define("example", [], function () { return ' + parser + '; });';
}
}
}
}
})
```
##### Note on plugins
If you want to pass plugins to PEG.js make sure that the plugin is
installed and referenced by the module name. For example, for the
[pegjs-coffee-plugin][] one should first install the plugin
```js
npm install --save-dev pegjs-coffee-plugin
```
and then configure the tasks with the module name.
```js
grunt.initConfig({
peg: {
options: { trackLineAndColumn: true },
example : {
src: "grammar/example.peg",
dest: "grammar/example.js",
options: {
plugins: [ "pegjs-coffee-plugin" ]
}
}
}
})
```
## PEG.js dependency
As described in [issue #6][#6] sometimes the wrong PEG.js version
is downloaded by npm. The solution for now seems to be to call
`npm cache clear`.
## Contributing
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing
coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed
functionality. Lint and test your code using
[Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/).
