✔ New shortcut syntax
✔ New target transpilation
✔ Integrate with others CLI
Changes:
New Supported Format
New Syntax
This new syntax symbols will desugar into several expressions. For best experience, use fmonospaced font with programming ligatures like FiraCode
🗹 Toggle Transition
A <-> B @ Toggle
👆 will desugar into 👇
A -> B @ Toggle
A <- B @ Toggle
🗹 Loop Transition
A ->> B @ Loop
// or
B <<- A @ Loop
👆 will desugar into 👇
A -> B @ Loop
B -> B @ Loop
🗹 Transient Loop Transition
A >-> B @ Loop
// or
B <-< A @ Loop
👆 will desugar into 👇
A -> B
B -> B @ Loop
🗹 Self Transition
Not exactly desugar into multiple expressions but this new syntax can give a clear distinction between normal transition and self transition.
->> B @ Loop
👆 is same as 👇
B -> B @ Loop
// or
B <- B @ Loop
CLI (see usage)
Breaking changes
🗹 In subcommand code, positional argument [DIST] changes to -o, --output (cause by a bug in [clap][], probably 🤔)
🗹 In subcommand code and repl, flag --format <target> must be specified (to avoid favoritism)
New Features
🗹 Add print command in non-interactive mode (repl with no --interactive flag set)
🗹 Add exit command to close REPL session
🗹 Tweak error prompt color
🗹 In subcommand code, use special error handle when positional argument <FILE> is a directory
🗹 Semantic check depend on the output format. For example. --as png will disable semantic check and instead mark and note the illegal transition.
🗹 Hide empty result when repl -i piped from stdin (it will not print empty line or comment)
🗹 --output <DIST> will give an error messages that it must be specified if outputting --as <format> binary file (e.g --as jpg)
🗹 --as <format> will give an error messages if paired with wrong --format <target> (e.g --format smcat --as boxart)
🗹 possible values in --as <format> will be hidden and disabled if certain others CLI not being installed
🗹 Hook to others CLI
In this update, scrap able to support others formats only if this CLI has been installed:
- smcat
- dot
- graph-easy (as a fallback for some formats if dot not available)
This brings several ability if combined with certain tools, for example:
