Dooble is a marble diagram generator from text. It eases the documentation of
ReactiveX standard and custom operators, in a consitent way.

Installation
-------------

.. code:: python

pip install dooble

A sphinx plugin is also available:

.. code:: python

pip install sphinxcontrib-dooble

Usage
------

The text grammar allows to easilly define *observables* and *operators*. The map
operator with an input observable and an output observable is described the
following way:

.. code::

--1--2--3--4-->
[ map(i: i*2) ]
--2--4--6--8-->

save this text in a file named *map.txt* and then render it to an image:

.. code:: console

dooble --input map.txt --output map.png

The generated image looks like this:

.. image:: examples/map.png

*Higher order observables* can also be documented easilly:

.. code::

--a-b-c---d-e-f-->
[ window ]
--+-------+------>
+d-e-f-|
+a-b-c-|

save this text in a file named *window.txt* and then render it to an image:

.. code:: console

dooble --input window.txt --output window.png

The generated image looks like this:

.. image:: examples/window.png

For operators that take several observables as input, it is possible to label
them:

.. code::

--1--2--3--*
a-7-8-|
[ catch(a) ]
--1--2--3--7-8-|

save this text in a file named *catch.txt* and then render it to an image:

.. code:: console

dooble --input catch.txt --output catch.png

The generated image looks like this:

.. image:: examples/catch.png

Full grammar
------------

* Each text line represents either an observable, or an operator
* Observables are defined with dash lines
* If an Observable starts with a letter, this letter is considered as a label
* Each character represent a time span
* Character ``|`` indicates an observable completion
* Character ``*`` indicates an observable error
* Character ``>`` indicates an observable continutation
* The ``+`` character is used to define anchors of higher order observables
* operators start with a ``[`` and end with a ``]``

The full grammar is the following one (in tatsu pseudo ebnf syntax):

.. code::

@@grammar::dooble

start = { layer } $ ;

layer
=
| obs:observable
| op:operator
;

observable = {skipspan}* [prefix] {lifetime}* completion ;
operator = '[' description ']' ;

prefix = '+' | label ;

label = /[a-z]/ ;

lifetime
=
| ts:timespan
| item:item
;

completion = /[>|*]/ ;

skipspan = ' ' ;
timespan = '-' ;
item = /[a-zA-Z0-9+.,]+/ ;

description = /[a-zA-Z0-9,:+*() <>_]+/ ;
