json-pn

Simple JSON template language in Polish notation

Motivation

Sometimes you would like to encode JSON template by JSON object.

Features

• Template encoded by JSON object in Polish notation
• Support of mathematical and logical operations
• Support of custom operations
• Conditional operator
• Map operator

Usage

Include

import {createCompiler} from 'json-pn'

Create compiler

const compiler = createCompiler()

Create template function

const hello = compiler({'@add': ["Hello", {'@':'value'}]})

Use template function

console.log(hello({value:' word'})) //Hello word

Custom operators

You can manually set list of supported operators.

import {createCompiler, defaultOperationsMap} from 'json-pn'
const compiler = createCompiler(defaultOperationsMap)

You can register your own operator during compiler creation

import {createCompiler, defaultOperationsMap} from 'json-pn'

const double = compiler => value => {
    const subtemplate = compiler(value)
    return  props =>  subtemplate(props) * 2
} 

const compiler = createCompiler({
    ...defaultOperationsMap,
    '@double': double
})

const four = compiler({'@double': 2)

console.log(four())//4

Operators

Operators types

Unar operators

Unar operator use value as single parameter

// ! true
{'@not': true}

N-ar operatprs

N-ar operators always expects array fixed length. According to operands count can be defined binar, triar, and other operators

// 2 + 4
{'@add': [ 2, 4 ]}
//if (true) {return 'foo'} else {return 'baz'}
{'@if': [true, 'foo', 'baz']}

Operators grpups

Template parameters

@ operator

Unar operator expects string or string[] in operand.

Special

@escape operator

Unar operator. Just copy operand value without any transformations.

Mathematical

@add

Binar operator.

@rem

Binar operator.

@mul

Binar operator.

@div

Binar operator.

Logical

@not

Unar operator.

@and

Binar operator.

@or

Binar operator.

Comparation

@lt

Binar operator.

@le

Binar operator.

@eq

Binar operator.

@ge

Binar operator.

@gt

Binar operator.

Array operators

@map operator

Tetrar operator. Allows to use template for each array item.

Operand number	Operand value
0	Target array
1	Template
2	Array item name it template parameters
3	Array item index name in template parameters

//[1,2,3].map((x,i) => 2 * x  + i)
{
    "@map" : [
        [1, 2, 3], {
            "@add": [
                "@mul" : [ 2, {"@":"x"}],
                {"@":"i"}
            ]
        },
        "x","i"
    ]
}
