# PATM: PATtern Matcher for Ruby

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/todesking/patm.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/todesking/patm)
[![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/todesking/patm.png)](https://codeclimate.com/github/todesking/patm)

PATM is extremely faster pattern match library.

Features: Match value/classes, Capture, Array/Hash decomposition.

## Usage

```ruby
require 'patm'
```

```ruby
# With DSL
class A
extend ::Patm::DSL

define_matcher :match1 do|r|
p = Patm
r.on [:x, p._1, p._2] do|m|
[m._1, m._2]
end
end

define_matcher :match2 do|r|
r.on [:a, Patm._xs & Patm._1] do|m, _self|
_self.match1(m._1)
end
# ...
r.else do
nil
end
end
end

A.new.match1([:x, 1, 2])
# => [1, 2]
```

```ruby
# With case(simple but slow)
def match(obj)
p = Patm
_xs = Patm._xs
case obj
when m = Patm.match([:x, p._1, p._2])
[m._2, m._1]
when m = Patm.match([1, _xs&p._1])
m._1
end
end

match([1, 2, 3])
# => [2, 3]

match([:x, :y, :z])
# => [:z, :y]

match([])
# => nil
```

```ruby
# With pre-built Rule
rule = Patm::Rule.new do|r|
p = Patm
_xs = Patm._xs
r.on [:x, p._1, p._2] do|m|
[m._2, m._1]
end
r.on [1, _xs&p._1] do|m|
m._1
end
end

rule.apply([1,2,3])
# => [2, 3]

rule.apply([:x, :y, :z])
# => [:z, :y]

rule.apply([])
# => nil
```

## DSL

```ruby
class PatternMatcher
extend Patm::DSL

define_matcher(:match) do|r| # r is instance of Patm::Rule
# r.on( PATTERN ) {|match, _self|
# First argument is instance of Patm::Match. Use it to access captured value.
# ex. m._1, m._2, ..., m[capture_name]
#
# Second argument is instance of the class. Use it to access other methods.
# ex. _self.other_method
# }
#
# r.else {|value, _self|
# First argument is the value. Second is instance of the class.
# }
end
end

matcher = PatternMatcher.new

matcher.match(1)
```

## Patterns

### Value

Value patterns such as `1, :x, String, ...` matches if `pattern === target_value` is true.

### Struct

```ruby
A = Struct.new(:x, :y)

# ...
define_matcher :match_struct do|r|
# use Patm[struct_class].( ... ) for match struct
# argument is a Hash(member_name => pattern) or patterns that correspond struct members.
r.on Patm[A].(x: 1, y: Patm._1) {|m| m._1 }
r.on Patm[A].(2, Patm._1) {|m| m._1 }
end
```

### Array

`[1, 2, _any]` matches `[1, 2, 3]`, `[1, 2, :x]`, etc.

`[1, 2, _xs]` matches `[1, 2]`, `[1, 2, 3]`, `[1, 2, 3, 4]`, etc.

`[1, _xs, 2]` matches `[1, 2]`, `[1, 10, 2]`, etc.

Note: More than one `_xs` in same array is invalid.

### Hash

`{a: 1}` matches `{a: 1}`, `{a: 1, b: 2}`, etc.

`{a: 1, Patm.exact => true}` matches only `{a: 1}`.

`{a: 1, b: Patm.opt(2)}` matches `{a: 1}`, `{a: 1, b: 2}`.

### Capture

`_1`, `_2`, etc matches any value, and capture the value as correspond match group.

`Pattern#[capture_name]` also used for capture.`Patm._any[:foo]` capture any value as `foo`.

Captured values are accessible through `Match#_1, _2, ...` and `Match#[capture_name]`

### Compose

`_1&[_any, _any]` matches any two element array, and capture the array as _1.
`Patm.or(1, 2)` matches 1 or 2.
