defmodule Expression do @moduledoc """ Documentation for `Expression`, a library to parse and evaluate [Floip](https://floip.gitbook.io/flow-specification/expressions) compatible expressions Expression is an expression language which consists of the functions provided by Excel with a few additions. Function and variable names are not case-sensitive so UPPER is equivalent to upper: ``` contact.name -> Marshawn Lynch FIRST_WORD(contact.name) -> Marshawn first_word(CONTACT.NAME) -> Marshawn ``` For templating, RapidPro uses the @ character to denote either a single variable substitution or the beginning of an Expression block. `@` was chosen as it is known how to type by a broad number of users regardless of keyboard. It does have the disadvantage of being used in email addresses and Twitter handles, but these are rarely ambiguous and escaping can be done easily via doubling of the character (`@@`). Functions are called by using the block syntax: ``` 10 plus 4 is @(SUM(10, 4)) ``` Within a block, `@` is not required to refer to variable in the context: ``` Hello @(contact.name) ``` A template can contain more than one substitution or block: ``` Hello @contact.name, you were born in @(YEAR(contact.birthday)) ``` """ alias Expression.{Ast, Eval} def parse_literal(binary) do case Ast.literal(binary) do {:ok, [{:literal, literal}], "", _, _, _} -> {:literal, literal} {:ok, _ast, _remainder, _, _, _} -> {:error, binary} {:error, _reason, _remainder, _, _, _} -> {:error, binary} end end def parse_expression(expression) do case Ast.aexpr(expression) do {:ok, ast, "", _, _, _} -> {:ok, ast} {:ok, _ast, remainder, _, _, _} -> {:error, "Unable to parse: #{inspect(remainder)}"} end end def evaluate_block(expression, context \\ %{}, mod \\ Expression.Callbacks) def evaluate_block(expression, context, mod) do with {:ok, ast} <- parse_expression(expression), {:ok, result} <- Eval.evaluate([substitution: ast], context, mod) do {:ok, result} end end def evaluate_block!(expression, context \\ %{}, mod \\ Expression.Callbacks) def evaluate_block!(expression, context, mod) do with {:ok, ast} <- parse_expression(expression), result <- Eval.evaluate!([substitution: ast], context, mod) do result else {:error, ast_error} -> raise ast_error end end def parse(text) do case Ast.parse(text) do {:ok, ast, "", _, _, _} -> {:ok, ast} {:ok, _ast, remainder, _, _, _} -> {:error, "Unable to parse: #{inspect(remainder)}"} end end def evaluate(text, context \\ %{}, mod \\ Expression.Callbacks) def evaluate(text, context, mod) do with {:ok, ast} <- parse(text), {:ok, result} <- Eval.evaluate(ast, context, mod) do {:ok, result} end end end
