Example: SimpleSyntax Configuration

See trunk/config for the files shown below.

The lexer configuration referenced above. You would normaly copy this, changing only the loaded .flux configuration file name and changing the name of the created lexer.

    package SimpleSyntax;

    def syntax = new File( configFolder, 'SimpleSyntax/Syntax.flux' ).text
    def code = new flux.FluxBuilder( configFolder ).using( syntax ).create( "SimpleSyntaxSyntaxFlexer" )
    def clazz = evaluate( code )
    def instance = clazz.newInstance( configuration )
    return new com.intellij.lexer.FlexAdapter( instance )

This is the real lexer configuration loaded by the Groovy code above:

    WS = [ \t]*
    EOL = [\n\r]+

    HEADER = "[SimpleSyntax:".+"]"?
    LINE_COMMENT = "#"[^\r\n]*

    IDENTIFIER = [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z_]*

    EQUAL = "="
    COLON = ":"

    DIRECTIVE = [A-Z][a-zA-Z]*("."{IDENTIFIER})*
    ATTRIBUTE = "["{WS}{IDENTIFIER}{WS}"]"

    VALUE = [^\n\r]*
    UNKNOWN = [^ \t\n\r\[\]=:]+

    %state ASSIGNMENT

    %%

    [\n\r]+ { return sym( "LINE_BREAK" ); }
    [\ ] { return sym( "SPACE" ); }
    [\t] { return sym( "TAB" ); }
    [\f] { return sym( "FORMFEED" ); }

    <ASSIGNMENT> {
    {VALUE} { yybegin(YYINITIAL); return sym( "VALUE" ); }
    }

    {HEADER} { return sym( "HEADER" ); }
    {LINE_COMMENT} { return sym( "LINE_COMMENT" ); }
    {DIRECTIVE} { return sym( "DIRECTIVE" ); }
    {ATTRIBUTE} { return sym( "ATTRIBUTE" ); }

    "descriptions" { return sym( "CONTAINER" ); }
    "attributes" { return sym( "CONTAINER" ); }

    {EQUAL} { yybegin(ASSIGNMENT); return sym( "OP_EQUAL" ); }
    {COLON} { yybegin(ASSIGNMENT); return sym( "OP_COLON" ); }

    {UNKNOWN} { return sym( "UNKNOWN" ); }

    . { return sym( "BAD_CHARACTER" ); }
