# janet-ref (jref)



Multi-purpose [Janet](https://janet-lang.org) info tool for:



* doc and source lookups

* usages and quizzes

* data pretty-printing, code indenting and formatting

* quick evaluation and macro-expansion

* creating readable repl session / usage content



## Status



Adding:



* Usages and quizzes for more functions, macros, etc.



Preliminary Support:



* Functions, Macros, etc.

  * Doc lookup (--doc, -d)

  * Source lookup (--src, -s)

  * Usage (--usage, -u)

  * Quizzes (--quiz, -q)



* Data

  * Pretty-printing (--pprint, -p)



* Code

  * Formatting (--format, -f)

  * Indenting (--indent, -i)

  * Expression evaluation (--eval, -e)

  * Macro-expansion (--macex1, -m)



* Demo / Usage Creation

  * Tweaked Repl (--repl, -r)



## Invocation Examples



Take a quiz.



```

$ jref -q label

(label here

  (for i 0 2

    (when (pos? i)

      (______ here i))))

# =>

1



What value could work in the blank?

```



Show some usages.



```

$ jref -u mapcat

(mapcat string [1 2 3])

# =>

@["1" "2" "3"]



(mapcat scan-number ["2r111" "0x08" "8r11" "10"])

# =>

@[7 8 9 10]



(mapcat identity [["alice" 1] ["bob" 2] ["carol" 3]])

# =>

@["alice" 1 "bob" 2 "carol" 3]



(->> [[:a 1] [:b 2] [:c 3]]

     (mapcat identity)

     splice

     table)

# =>

@{:a 1 :b 2 :c 3}

```



Look up some docs.



```

$ jref -d var

special form



`(var name meta... value)`



`var` binds a value to a symbol.



The symbol can be substituted for the value in subsequent

expressions for the same result.



A binding made by `var` can be updated using `set`.



For further info, see:



  https://janet-lang.org/docs/specials.html

```



Pretty-print some data.



```

$ jref -p "{:a 1 :b {:x 8 :y 9}}"

{:a 1

 :b {:x 8

     :y 9}}

```



Format some code.



```

$ jref -f "(defn a [x] (+ x 1)) (print (a 2))"

(defn a

  [x]

  (+ x 1))



(print (a 2))

```



Expand a macro call.



```

$ jref -m "(each i [0 1 2] (when (pos? i) (break)))"

(do

  (def _0000c3

    [0 1 2])

  (var _0000c2

    ( _0000c3 nil))

  (while ( nil _0000c2)

    (def i

      ( _0000c3 _0000c2))

    (when (pos? i)

      (break))

    (set _0000c2

         ( _0000c3 _0000c2))))

```



Evaluate some code.



```

$ jref -e "(> (length (all-bindings)) 500)"

true

```



Get basic help.



```
