sails-js-parser

Overview

The sails-js-parser is designed to parse Sails IDL files, producing an output that can be used to generate client libraries or facilitate interaction with Gear blockchain programs.

Installation

To install the sails-js-parser library:

npm install sails-js-parser

Usage

Initialization

import { SailsIdlParser } from 'sails-js-parser';

const parser = await SailsIdlParser.new();

Often used with sails-js:

import { Sails } from 'sails-js';
import { SailsIdlParser } from 'sails-js-parser';

const parser = await SailsIdlParser.new();
const sails = new Sails(parser);

Parsing

const idl = `
  constructor {
    New : ();
  };

  service SailsApp {
    DoSomething : () -> str;
  };
`
const program = parser.parse(idl);

The parse method returns a Program instance representing the parsed IDL.
