Oak TypeScript Parser

High-performance incremental TypeScript parser for the oak ecosystem with flexible configuration, optimized for modern JavaScript development.

🎯 Overview

Oak TypeScript is a robust parser for TypeScript, designed to handle complete TypeScript syntax including modern features. Built on the solid foundation of oak-core, it provides both high-level convenience and detailed AST generation for TypeScript analysis and tooling.

✨ Features

Complete TypeScript Syntax: Supports all TypeScript features including modern specifications
Full AST Generation: Generates comprehensive Abstract Syntax Trees
Lexer Support: Built-in tokenization with proper span information
Error Recovery: Graceful handling of syntax errors with detailed diagnostics

🚀 Quick Start

Basic example:

use oak_typescript::{Parser, TypeScriptLanguage, SourceText};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let parser = Parser::new();
    let source = SourceText::new(r#"
interface User {
    id: number;
    name: string;
    email?: string;
}

function greet(user: User): string {
    return `Hello, ${user.name}!`;
}
    "#);
    
    let result = parser.parse(&source);
    println!("Parsed TypeScript code successfully.");
    Ok(())
}

📋 Parsing Examples

Interface Parsing

use oak_typescript::{Parser, TypeScriptLanguage, SourceText};

let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new(r#"
interface User {
    id: number;
    name: string;
    email?: string;
    roles: string[];
}
"#);

let result = parser.parse(&source);
println!("Parsed TypeScript interface successfully.");

Function Parsing

use oak_typescript::{Parser, TypeScriptLanguage, SourceText};

let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new(r#"
function calculateTotal(items: Item[]): number {
    return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
}
"#);

let result = parser.parse(&source);
println!("Parsed TypeScript function successfully.");

Class Parsing

use oak_typescript::{Parser, TypeScriptLanguage, SourceText};

let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new(r#"
class UserService {
    private users: User[] = [];
    
    constructor(private apiClient: ApiClient) {}
    
    async getUser(id: number): Promise<User> {
        return this.apiClient.get(`/users/${id}`);
    }
}
"#);

let result = parser.parse(&source);
println!("Parsed TypeScript class successfully.");

🔧 Advanced Features

Token-Level Parsing

use oak_typescript::{Parser, TypeScriptLanguage, SourceText};

let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new("const x: number = 42;");
let result = parser.parse(&source);
// Token information is available in the parse result

Error Handling

use oak_typescript::{Parser, TypeScriptLanguage, SourceText};

let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new(r#"
interface User {
    name: string
    age: number;
}
"#);

let result = parser.parse(&source);
if let Err(e) = result.result {
    println!("Parse error: {:?}", e);
}

🏗️ AST Structure

The parser generates a comprehensive AST with the following main structures:

SourceFile: Root container for TypeScript source files
InterfaceDeclaration: TypeScript interface definitions
ClassDeclaration: TypeScript class definitions
FunctionDeclaration: Function and method definitions
VariableStatement: Variable declarations
Expression: Various expression types
TypeAnnotation: Type annotations and type references

📊 Performance

Streaming: Parse large TypeScript files without loading entirely into memory
Incremental: Re-parse only changed sections
Memory Efficient: Smart AST node allocation
Fast Recovery: Quick error recovery for better IDE integration

🔗 Integration
