module std.tf

The std module contains libraries for general computing tasks.

library core

The core library contains utility functions to process values at a basic level.

id

(any x) -> any

Identity function. Returns x.

> core.id("foo")
"foo"

> core.id({:a "b"})
{
  :a "b"
}

> core.id(nil)
nil

inspect

(x) -> string

Returns a string representation of x. If x is a function the string 'function' is returned. Otherwise literal notation is used. If x is not a function, and contains no functions as children x == core.eval(core.inspect(x)) generally holds true.

> core.inspect(1)
"1"

> core.inspect([1, 2, 3])
"[1, 2, 3]"

> core.inspect(nil)
"nil"

> core.inspect({:a 1, :b 2})
"{
  :a 1,
  :b 2
}"

> core.inspect("foo")
"\"foo\""

present?

(x) -> boolean

Returns false if x is nil, returns true otherwise.

> core.present?("foo")
true

> core.present?(nil)
false

nil?

(x) -> boolean

Returns true if x is nil, returns false otherwise.

> core.nil?("foo")
false

> core.nil?(nil)
true

hash

(x) -> long

Returns a hashcode of x. Values that compare as equal are guaranteed to have the same hashcode.

> core.hash("foo")
101574

> core.hash(nil)
0

> core.hash([1,2,3])
66614367

> core.hash([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
66614367

eval

(string x) -> any

Evaluates tweakflow source code x in empty scope. If x represents a valid value, the value it is returned. If x cannot be evaluated, an error is thrown. x is evaluated in empty scope, so any references within x must be self-contained. Functions can be declared and called within x.

Returns nil if x is nil.

> core.eval("1")
1

> core.eval("'str'")
"str"

> core.eval(nil)
nil

> core.eval("(x) -> x+1")(1)
2

> core.eval("let {f: (x) -> x*x;} f(5)")
25

> core.eval("hello")
ERROR:
  code: UNRESOLVED_REFERENCE
  message: hello is undefined
  at: <eval>:1:1
  source: hello

library strings

The strings library contains basic functions for text processing.

concat

(list xs) -> string

Returns a string consisting of all xs concatenated into a single string. Each x in xs is cast to a string before concatenation. If any x cannot be cast to a string, an error is thrown. If any x is nil, it is concatenated into the output string as "nil".

Returns nil if xs is nil.

> strings.concat(["foo", "bar"])
"foobar"

> strings.concat([1, 2, 3])
"123"

> strings.concat(["a", nil, "b"])
"anilb"

> strings.concat([])
""

> strings.concat(nil)
nil

length

(string x) -> long

Returns the number of unicode codepoints in given string x.

Returns nil if x is nil.

> strings.length("")
0

> strings.length("foo")
3

> strings.length("你好")
2

substring

(string x, long start=0, long end=nil) -> string

Returns a substring of x beginning at index start (inclusive) up to index end (exclusive). If end is nil, the substring extends to the end of x.

Returns an empty string if end <= start.

Returns nil if x is nil.

Throws an error if start is nil or start < 0.

> strings.substring("hello world")
"hello world"

> strings.substring("hello world", 6)
"world"

> strings.substring("hello world", 6, 6)
""

> strings.substring("hello world", 6, 7)
"w"

""

> strings.substring(nil, 6)
nil

> strings.substring("你好", 0, 1)
"你"

"好"

> strings.substring("hello world", nil)
ERROR:
  code: NIL_ERROR
  message: start must not be nil

> strings.substring("hello world", -4)
ERROR:
  code: INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS
  message: start must not be negative: -4

replace

(string x, string search, string replace) -> string

Returns a string where each occurrence of search in x is replaced with replace. The replacement happens from left to right, so strings.replace('ooo', 'oo', 'g') results in 'go' rather than 'og'.

Returns nil if any argument is nil.

> strings.replace('ooo', 'oo', 'g')
"go"

> strings.replace('foo', 'oo', 'ast')
"fast"

> strings.replace('hello', 'e', 'u')
"hullo"

> strings.replace('grab', 'gr', '')
"ab"

> strings.replace('hello world', 'not found', 'something')
"hello world"

join

(list xs, string s="") -> string

Concatenates a list of xs into a single string using s as the separator. Each x in xs is cast to a string before concatenation. If any x cannot be cast to a string, an error is thrown. If any x is nil, it is concatenated into the output string as "nil".

Returns nil if xs is nil or s is nil.

> strings.join(["foo", "bar"])
"foobar"

> strings.join(["foo", "bar"], ", ")
"foo, bar"

> strings.join([1, 2, 3], "-")
"1-2-3"

> strings.join([1, nil, 3], "-")

comparator

(
  string lang='en-US',
  boolean case_sensitive=true
) -> function

Returns a function f (string a, string b) -> long that compares two strings a and b according to conventions appropriate for the given language tag.

library regex

The regex library provides functions to work with regular expressions. Pattern syntax is that of the Java regular expression language.

matching

(string pattern) -> function

Returns a predicate function f accepting one string argument x that checks if the argument matches the given pattern completely. Calling f with a nil argument returns nil.

Throws an error if pattern is nil or not a valid regular expression.

> digits?: regex.matching('\d+')
function

> digits?("12345")
true

> digits?("hello")
false

> digits?(nil)
nil

capturing

(string pattern) -> function

Returns a function f accepting one string argument x and returning a list of captured groups in the pattern.

In case pattern matches the argument entirely, index 0 contains the input string, and subsequent indexes contain the matched groups. Group indexes correspond to the sequence of opening group parentheses of capturing groups in the pattern.

If a group is optional, and is not matched by the input string, its value in the list is nil.

If a capturing group is inside a quantifier, only the last matched string is captured.

In case pattern does not match the argument entirely, f returns an empty list.

Calling f with a nil argument returns nil.

Throws an error if pattern is nil or not a valid regular expression.

# match ISO date and optional hh:mm time, capturing year, month, day, time
> date_parts: regex.capturing('(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})(?:T(\d{2}:\d{2}))?')
function

> date_parts("2017-05-24")
["2017-05-24", "2017", "05", "24", nil]

> date_parts("2017-05-24T08:45")
["2017-05-24T08:45", "2017", "05", "24", "08:45"]

> date_parts("hello")
[]

> date_parts(nil)
nil

scanning

(string pattern) -> function

Returns a function f accepting one string argument x and returning a list of captured groups for each successive match of the pattern in x.

Each match generates a list with the following properties: Index 0 contains the matched input string, and subsequent indexes contain the matched groups. Group indexes correspond to the sequence of opening group parentheses of capturing groups in the pattern. If a group is optional, and is not matched by the input string, its value in the list is nil.

In case pattern does not match x, f returns an empty list.

Calling f with a nil argument returns nil.

Throws an error if pattern is nil or not a valid regular expression.

# scan for hh:mm pattern, capturing hours and minutes separately for each match.
# AM/PM indicator is optional.
> clock_times: regex.scanning('(\d{1,2}):(\d{2})( AM| PM)?')
function

# 1 match
> clock_times("It was 9:30 AM.")
[["9:30 AM", "9", "30", " AM"]]

# 2 matches, optional AM/PM indicator is missing on second match
> clock_times("The hen jumped over the fence at 10:32 PM, the fox followed at 10:42.")
[["10:32 PM", "10", "32", " PM"], ["10:42", "10", "42", nil]]

# no matches
> clock_times("Hello world!")
[]

> clock_times(nil)
nil

splitting

(string pattern, long limit=nil) -> function

Returns a function f accepting one string argument x and returning a list substrings of x split on boundaries given by pattern.

If limit is positive, the pattern is applied limit-1 times, so at most limit items are in the resulting list.
If limit is negative, the pattern is applied as often as possible and there is no limit on the size of the resulting list.
If limit is 0 or nil, the pattern is applied as often as possible, and there is no limit on the size of the resulting list. Trailing empty strings are removed from the list.

In case pattern is not found in x, f returns a list containing only x.

Calling f with a nil argument returns nil.

Throws an error if pattern is nil or not a valid regular expression.\

# split on space
> f: regex.splitting(' ')
function

> f("Hello World!")
["Hello", "World!"]

# split on word boundary
> f: regex.splitting('\b')
function

> f("Hello World!")
["Hello", " ", "World", "!"]

# split on comma potentially followed by space
> f: regex.splitting(',( )?')
function

> f("some, CSV,data, here")
["some", "CSV", "data", "here"]

# split out 2 initial sections between dashes
> f: regex.splitting('-', 3)
function

> f("abc-def-xyhaiod-28734-as2")
["abc", "def", "xyhaiod-28734-as2"]

> f(nil)
nil

replacing

(string pattern, string replace) -> function

Returns a function f accepting one string argument and returning a string replacing all occurrences of pattern with replace. References to capturing groups in replace are possible through $n syntax, where n is the number of the capturing group, as counted by the occurrence of opening group parentheses. To replace a literal $n, escape the $ sign as \$.

Calling f with a nil argument returns nil.

Throws an error if any argument is nil or pattern is not a valid regular expression.

# match date in yyyy/dd/mm format and convert to ISO date
> to_iso_date: regex.replacing('(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d{2})', '$1-$3-$2')
function

> to_iso_date("2017/24/05")
"2017-05-24"

> to_iso_date("hello")
"hello"

> to_iso_date(nil)
nil

> nr_dollar: regex.replacing('\b(a dollar)|(one dollar)\b', '\$1')
function

> nr_dollar("I need a dollar, just one dollar more.")
"I need $1, just $1 more."

quote

(string x) -> string

Returns a string in which each character of x with special meaning in a pattern has been escaped. The resulting string matches x literally as a pattern.

Returns nil if x is nil.

# splits by word boundary
> f: regex.splitting('\b')
function

> f('foo\bbar\bbaz')
["foo", "\\", "bbar", "\\", "bbaz"]

# splits by literal sequence of characters '\b'
> f: regex.splitting(regex.quote('\b'))
function

> f('foo\bbar\bbaz')
["foo", "bar", "baz"]

After each call the return value of f becomes the new accumulator value.

Returns final accumulator value after iteration over xs is completed.

Returns nil if xs is nil.

Throws an error if xs is neither a list nor a dict.

Throws an error if p is nil or f is nil.

scale

(decimal x) -> long

Returns the scale of given decimal x.

A decimal number is internally represented as a mathematical integer x 10^(-scale).

A positive scale therefore indicates the number of fractional digits.

A negative scale represents a decimal that is stored in terms of 10, 100, 1000, etc. times some integer value, effectively dropping precision of trailing digits.

Returns nil if x is nil.

# no fractional digits
> decimals.scale(0d)
0

# two fractional digits
> decimals.scale(0.00d)
2

# two fractional digits
> decimals.scale(0.75d)
2

# value 100 with -2 scale
> decimals.scale(1e+2d)
-2

with_scale

(
  decimal x,
  long scale,
  string rounding_mode='half_up'
) -> decimal

Returns a decimal of the same value as x with given scale.

The given rounding mode is used when digits must be dropped to adapt the given scale.

Returns nil if x is nil.

Throws an error if scale or rounding_mode are nil.

1.2E+3d

round

(
  decimal x,
  long digits,
  string rounding_mode='half_up'
) -> decimal

Returns a decimal of x rounded to the given number of non-zero digits using the given rounding mode.

This function is useful to get a number with a relevant number of significant digits when dealing with numbers which contain many digits.

If you wish to round to a fixed number of decimal places or digits, use with_scale.

Returns nil if x is nil.
If digits is 0, x is returned.
Throws an error if digits or rounding_mode are nil.
Throws an error if digits is negative.

(binary x, long start=0, long end=nil) -> list

Returns a range of bytes from x starting at byte offset start inclusively, and extending to byte offset end exclusively. If end is nil, the range extends to the end of x.

Returns a zero length binary if start is greater than the size of x. Returns a zero length binary if start >= end.

Returns nil if x is nil.

Throws an error if start is nil or start < 0.

> bin.slice(nil)
nil

to_hex

(binary x) -> string

Returns a hexadecimal string representing the binary value x.

Returns nil if x is nil.

> bin.to_hex(0b010A0B04)
"010a0b04"

> bin.to_hex(0b)
""

> bin.to_hex(nil)
nil

from_hex

(string x) -> binary

Returns the binary value represented by given hexadecimal string x.

Returns nil if x is nil.

Throws an error if x contains non-hexadecimal characters.

> bin.from_hex("010a0b04")
0b010A0B04

> bin.from_hex("")
0b

> bin.from_hex(nil)
nil

base64_encode

(binary x, string variant='basic') -> string

Returns the base64 string representation of given binary data x.

If variant is equal to 'basic', the standard base64 alphabet of RFC 2045 and RFC 4648 is used.
If variant is equal to 'url', the “URL and Filename safe” base64 alphabet of RFC 4648 is used.
If variant is equal to 'mime', the standard base64 alphabet of RFC 2045 is used. In addition the encoded output is represented in lines of no more than 76 characters each and uses a carriage return \r followed immediately by a linefeed \n as the line separator.

Returns nil if x is nil or variant is nil.

Throws an error if variant is not nil and not equal to any supported variant.


> bin.base64_encode(0b00010203)
"AAECAw=="

> bin.base64_encode(strings.to_bytes("Hello World"))
"SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ="

> bin.base64_encode(nil)
nil

base64_decode

(string x, string variant='basic') -> binary

Returns the bytes encoded by given base64 string x.

If variant is equal to 'basic', the standard base64 alphabet of RFC 2045 and RFC 4648 is used.
If variant is equal to 'url', the “URL and Filename safe” base64 alphabet of RFC 4648 is used.
If variant is equal to 'mime', the standard base64 alphabet of RFC 2045 is used. Any characters not found in the standard alphabet table are ignored.

Returns nil if x is nil or variant is nil.

Throws an error if variant is not nil and not equal to any supported variant.
Throws an error if variant is basic or url and any non-alphabet characters are encountered.
