# powerquery-parser
[](https://dev.azure.com/ms/powerquery-parser/_build/latest?definitionId=134&branchName=master)
A parser for the [Power Query/M](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/) language, written in TypeScript. Designed to be consumed by other projects.
## How to use
The most common way to consume the project is to interact with the helper functions found in [taskUtils.ts](src/powerquery-parser/task/taskUtils.ts). There are all-in-one functions, such as `tryLexParse`, which does a full pass on a given document. There are also incremental functions, such as `tryLex` and `tryParse`, which perform one step at a time. Minimal code samples can be found in [example.ts](src/example.ts).

- [powerquery-language-services](https://github.com/microsoft/powerquery-language-services): A high level library that wraps the parser for external projects, such as the VSCode extension. Includes features such as Intellisense.

## Things to note
### Parser
The parser started off as a naive recursive descent parser with limited backtracking. It mostly followed the [official specification](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/power-query-m-language-specification) released in October 2016. Deviations from the specification should be marked down in [specification.md](specification.md). A combinatorial parser has since been added which uses the naive parser as its base.
### Style
This project uses [prettier](https://github.com/prettier/prettier) as the primary source of style enforcement. Additional style requirements are located in [style.md](style.md).
