Module tree_sitter_graph::reference::functions

This section defines the standard library of functions available to graph DSL files.

Note that the process that is executing the graph DSL file has control over which function it provides. Most of the time, you will have (at least) the functions defined here available. There might be additional functions available, and in rare cases, there might be a completely different set of functions available!

Graph manipulation functions

node

Creates a new graph node.

• Input parameters: none
• Output: a reference to the new graph node

Mathematical functions

plus

Adds integers together.

• Input parameters: zero or more integers
• Output: the sum of all of the input integers

String functions

replace

Applies a regular expression to a string, replacing any text that matches.

• Input parameters:
  • text: a string to look for matches in
  • pattern: a string defining the regular expression to search for
  • replacement: the text to replace any matches with

Note that the regular expression syntax that we support is exactly that used by Rust’s regex crate. In particular, the pattern is passed in to Regex::new, and the replacement text passed in to Regex::replace_all.

Syntax manipulation functions

child-index

Returns the “named child index” of a syntax node within its parent.

• Input parameters:
  • node: A syntax node
• Output parameter:
  • The index of node within its parent’s list of named children (i.e., the index that would cause ts_node_named_child to return node)

named-child-count

Returns the number of “named children” of a syntax node.

• Input parameters:
  • node: A syntax node
• Output parameter:
  • The number of named children in node

source-text

Returns the source text represented by a syntax node.

• Input parameters:
  • node: A syntax node
• Output parameter:
  • A string containing the source text represented by node

node-type

Returns a syntax node’s type as a string. (The type is the name of the node’s grammar rule in the underlying tree-sitter grammar.)

• Input parameters:
  • node: A syntax node
• Output parameter:
  • A string containing the type of node

start-column

Returns the zero-based start column of a syntax node.

• Input parameters:
  • node: A syntax node
• Output parameter:
  • The zero-based start column of node

start-row

Returns the zero-based start row of a syntax node.

• Input parameters:
  • node: A syntax node
• Output parameter:
  • The zero-based start row of node

end-column

Returns the zero-based end column of a syntax node.

• Input parameters:
  • node: A syntax node
• Output parameter:
  • The zero-based end column of node

end-row

Returns the zero-based end row of a syntax node.

• Input parameters:
  • node: A syntax node
• Output parameter:
  • The zero-based end row of node
