class TaskJuggler::SyntaxReference

This class can traverse the syntax rules of the ProjectFileParser and extract all documented keywords including their arguments and relations. All this work in done in the contructor. The documentation can then be generated for all found keyword or just a single one. Currently plain text output as well as HTML files are supported.

Public Class Methods

new(manual = nil, ignoreOld = false) click to toggle source

The constructor is the most important function of this class. It creates a parser object and then traverses all rules and extracts the documented patterns. In a second pass the extracted KeywordDocumentation objects are then cross referenced to capture their relationships. manual is an optional reference to the UserManual object that uses this SyntaxReference.

# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 36
def initialize(manual = nil, ignoreOld = false)
  @manual = manual
  @parser = ProjectFileParser.new
  @parser.updateParserTables

  # This hash stores all documented keywords using the keyword as
  # index.
  @keywords = {}
  @parser.rules.each_value do |rule|
    rule.patterns.each do |pattern|
      #  Only patterns that are documented are of interest.
      next if pattern.doc.nil?
      # Ignore deprecated and removed keywords if requested
      next if ignoreOld &&
              [ :deprecated, :removed ].include?(pattern.supportLevel)

      # Make sure each keyword is unique.
      if @keywords.include?(pattern.keyword)
        raise "Multiple patterns have the same keyword #{pattern.keyword}"
      end

      argDocs = []
      # Create a new KeywordDocumentation object and fill-in all extracted
      # values.
      kwd = KeywordDocumentation.new(rule, pattern,
              pattern.to_syntax(argDocs, @parser.rules), argDocs,
              optionalAttributes(pattern, {}), @manual)
      @keywords[pattern.keyword] = kwd
    end
  end

  # Make sure all references to other keywords are present.
  @keywords.each_value do |kwd|
    kwd.crossReference(@keywords, @parser.rules)
  end

  # Figure out whether the keyword describes an inheritable attribute or
  # not.
  @keywords.each_value do |kwd|
    kwd.computeInheritance
  end
end

Public Instance Methods

all() click to toggle source

Return a sorted Array with all keywords (as String objects).

# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 80
def all
  sorted = @keywords.keys.sort
  # Register the neighbours with each keyword so we can use this info in
  # navigation bars.
  pred = nil
  sorted.each do |kwd|
    keyword = @keywords[kwd]
    pred.successor = keyword if pred
    keyword.predecessor = pred
    pred = keyword
  end
end
generateHTMLnavbar(directory, keywords) click to toggle source

Generate 2 files named navbar.html and alphabet.html. They are used to support navigating through the syntax reference.

# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 144
def generateHTMLnavbar(directory, keywords)
  html = HTMLDocument.new
  head = html.generateHead('TaskJuggler Syntax Reference Navigator')
  head << XMLElement.new('base', 'target' => 'display')
  html.html << (body = XMLElement.new('body'))

  body << XMLNamedText.new('Table Of Contents', 'a', 'href' => 'toc.html')

  normalizedKeywords = {}
  keywords.each do |keyword|
    normalizedKeywords[@keywords[keyword].title] = keyword
  end
  letter = nil
  letters = []
  normalizedKeywords.keys.sort!.each do |normalized|
    if normalized[0, 1] != letter
      letter = normalized[0, 1]
      letters << letter
      body << (h = XMLElement.new('h3'))
      h << XMLNamedText.new(letter.upcase, 'a', 'name' => letter)
    end
    keyword = normalizedKeywords[normalized]
    body << XMLNamedText.new("#{normalized}", 'a',
                             'href' => "#{keyword}.html")

  end

  html.write(directory + 'navbar.html')

  divf << (form = XMLElement.new(
    'form', 'action' => 'http://www.google.com/search',
    'method' => "get", 'target' => '_blank', 'style' => 'margin:0'))
  form << XMLElement.new('input', 'type' => 'text',
                         'value' => '',
                         'maxlength' => '255',

  body << (h3 = XMLElement.new('h3'))

  letters.each do |l|
    h3 << XMLNamedText.new(l.upcase, 'a',
                           'href' => "navbar.html##{l}")
  end
  html.write(directory + 'alphabet.html')
end
generateHTMLreference(directory, keyword) click to toggle source

Generate a documentation for the keyword or an error message. The result is a XML String for known keywords. In case of an error the result is empty but an error message will be send to $stderr.

# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 134
def generateHTMLreference(directory, keyword)
  if checkKeyword(keyword)
    @keywords[keyword].generateHTML(directory)
  else
    ''
  end
end
internalReferences() click to toggle source
# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 111
def internalReferences
  references = {}
  @keywords.each_value do |keyword|
    (refs = keyword.references.uniq).empty? ||
      references[keyword.keyword] = refs
  end
  references
end
tableOfContents(toc, sectionPrefix) click to toggle source

Generate entries for a TableOfContents for each of the keywords. The entries are appended to the TableOfContents toc. sectionPrefix is the prefix that is used for the chapter numbers. In case we have 20 keywords and sectionPrefix is ‘A’, the keywords will be enumerated ‘A.1’ to ‘A.20’.

# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 98
def tableOfContents(toc, sectionPrefix)
  keywords = all
  # Set the chapter name to 'Syntax Reference' with a link to the first
  # keyword.
  toc.addEntry(TOCEntry.new(sectionPrefix, 'Syntax Reference', keywords[0]))
  i = 1
  keywords.each do |keyword|
    title = @keywords[keyword].title
    toc.addEntry(TOCEntry.new("#{sectionPrefix}.#{i}", title, keyword))
    i += 1
  end
end
to_s(keyword) click to toggle source

Generate a documentation for the keyword or an error message. The result is a multi-line plain text String for known keywords. In case of an error the result is empty but an error message will be send to $stderr.

# File lib/taskjuggler/SyntaxReference.rb, line 123
def to_s(keyword)
  if checkKeyword(keyword)
    @keywords[keyword].to_s
  else
    ''
  end
