class SyntaxSuggest::CleanDocument

Parses and sanitizes source into a lexically aware document

Internally the document is represented by an array with each index containing a CodeLine correlating to a line from the source code.

There are three main phases in the algorithm:

Sanitize/format input source
Search for invalid blocks
Format invalid blocks into something meaningful

This class handles the first part.

The reason this class exists is to format input source for better/easier/cleaner exploration.

The CodeSearch class operates at the line level so we must be careful to not introduce lines that look valid by themselves, but when removed will trigger syntax errors or strange behavior.

## Join Trailing slashes

Code with a trailing slash is logically treated as a single line:

1 it "code can be split" \
2    "across multiple lines" do

In this case removing line 2 would add a syntax error. We get around this by internally joining the two lines into a single “line” object

## Logically Consecutive lines

Code that can be broken over multiple lines such as method calls are on different lines:

1 User.
2   where(name: "schneems").
3   first

Removing line 2 can introduce a syntax error. To fix this, all lines are joined into one.

## Heredocs

A heredoc is an way of defining a multi-line string. They can cause many problems. If left as a single line, the parser would try to parse the contents as ruby code rather than as a string. Even without this problem, we still hit an issue with indentation:

1 foo = <<~HEREDOC
2  "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.""
3    ― Oscar Wilde
4      puts "I look like ruby code" # but i'm still a heredoc
5 HEREDOC

If we didn’t join these lines then our algorithm would think that line 4 is separate from the rest, has a higher indentation, then look at it first and remove it.

If the code evaluates line 5 by itself it will think line 5 is a constant, remove it, and introduce a syntax errror.

All of these problems are fixed by joining the whole heredoc into a single line.

Public Instance Methods

call ()

Source

# File lib/syntax_suggest/clean_document.rb, line 76
def call
  join_trailing_slash!
  join_consecutive!
  join_heredoc!

  self
end

Call all of the document “cleaners” and return self

join_consecutive! ()

Source

# File lib/syntax_suggest/clean_document.rb, line 141
def join_consecutive!
  consecutive_groups = @document.select(&:consecutive?).map do |code_line|
    take_while_including(code_line.index..) do |line|
      line.consecutive?
    end
  end

  join_groups(consecutive_groups)
  self
end

Smushes logically “consecutive” lines

source = <<~'EOM'
  User.
    where(name: 'schneems').
    first
EOM

lines = CleanDocument.new(source: source).join_consecutive!.lines
expect(lines[0].to_s).to eq(source)
expect(lines[1].to_s).to eq("")

join_groups (groups)

Source

# File lib/syntax_suggest/clean_document.rb, line 182
def join_groups(groups)
  groups.each do |lines|
    line = lines.first

    # Handle the case of multiple groups in a row
    # if one is already replaced, move on
    next if @document[line.index].empty?

    # Join group into the first line
    @document[line.index] = CodeLine.new(
      tokens: lines.map(&:tokens).flatten,
      line: lines.join,
      index: line.index,
      consecutive: false
    )

    # Hide the rest of the lines
    lines[1..].each do |line|
      # The above lines already have newlines in them, if add more
      # then there will be double newline, use an empty line instead
      @document[line.index] = CodeLine.new(line: "", index: line.index, tokens: [], consecutive: false)
    end
  end
  self
end

Helper method for joining “groups” of lines

Input is expected to be type Array<Array<CodeLine>>

The outer array holds the various “groups” while the inner array holds code lines.

All code lines are “joined” into the first line in their group.

To preserve document size, empty lines are placed in the place of the lines that were “joined”

join_heredoc! ()

Source

# File lib/syntax_suggest/clean_document.rb, line 107
def join_heredoc!
  start_index_stack = []
  heredoc_beg_end_index = []
  lines.each do |line|
    line.tokens.each do |token|
      case token.type
      when :HEREDOC_START
        start_index_stack << line.index
      when :HEREDOC_END
        start_index = start_index_stack.pop
        end_index = line.index
        heredoc_beg_end_index << [start_index, end_index]
      end
    end
  end

  heredoc_groups = heredoc_beg_end_index.map { |start_index, end_index| @document[start_index..end_index] }

  join_groups(heredoc_groups)
  self
end

Smushes all heredoc lines into one line

source = <<~'EOM'
  foo = <<~HEREDOC
     lol
     hehehe
  HEREDOC
EOM

lines = CleanDocument.new(source: source).join_heredoc!.lines
expect(lines[0].to_s).to eq(source)
expect(lines[1].to_s).to eq("")

join_trailing_slash! ()

Source

# File lib/syntax_suggest/clean_document.rb, line 162
def join_trailing_slash!
  trailing_groups = @document.select(&:trailing_slash?).map do |code_line|
    take_while_including(code_line.index..) { |x| x.trailing_slash? }
  end
  join_groups(trailing_groups)
  self
end

Join lines with a trailing slash

source = <<~'EOM'
  it "code can be split" \
     "across multiple lines" do
EOM

lines = CleanDocument.new(source: source).join_consecutive!.lines
expect(lines[0].to_s).to eq(source)
expect(lines[1].to_s).to eq("")

lines ()

Source

# File lib/syntax_suggest/clean_document.rb, line 86
def lines
  @document
end

Return an array of CodeLines in the document

take_while_including (range = 0..) { |line| ... }

Source

# File lib/syntax_suggest/clean_document.rb, line 213
def take_while_including(range = 0..)
  take_next_and_stop = false
  @document[range].take_while do |line|
    next if take_next_and_stop

    take_next_and_stop = !(yield line)
    true
  end
end

Helper method for grabbing elements from document

Like take_while except when it stops iterating, it also returns the line that caused it to stop

to_s ()

Source

# File lib/syntax_suggest/clean_document.rb, line 91
def to_s
  @document.join
end

Renders the document back to a string
