tree-sitter-csproj

This is a grammar for csharp project files leveraging tree-sitter. Why? Simply for fun and getting to see tree-sitter in action.

Installing Tree Sitter

• Ensure you have node installed.
• Ensure you have a c compiler installed.
• Install tree-sitter-cli using
  • using cargo

    cargo install tree-sitter-cli --locked

  • using npm

    npm install tree-sitter-cli -g

  • download binaries from github

Generating the parser

The grammar for the language is defined in grammar.json. Running tree-sitter generate will generate c code for the parser. You will essentially run this after updating the grammar.

Testing

You can test the parser by running tree-sitter parse example/console.txt. This should print out an AST in the form of an S-Expression. i.e

(project [0, 0] - [16, 0]
  (project_open [0, 0] - [0, 33]
    ...more))

Running tree-sitter test will run the tests set up under test/corpus folder.

Publishing

The node binding for the parser is currently published to npm.
