tree-sitter-fsharp

tree-sitter grammar for F# (still WIP) Based on the 4.1 F# language specification (Mostly, Appendix A) and the F# compiler parser

Getting started

First, run npm install to install the tree-sitter cli. Next, the grammar can be build using npm run build, or used to parse a file with npm run parse $file

Project strcture

The parser consists of two parts:

src/scanner.cc is responsible for parsing newlines and comments and keeps track of indentation to open and close scopes.
grammar.js the main tree-sitter grammar. The indent tokens from the external scanner is access though the $.virtual_open_section and virtual_end_section tokens.

The grammar starts with the file node at the begging of the rules.

Adding to neovim

From the local copy:

local parser_config = require "nvim-treesitter.parsers".get_parser_configs()
parser_config.fsharp = {
  install_info = {
    url = "path/to/tree-sitter-fsharp",
    files = {"src/scanner.cc", "src/parser.c" }
  },
  filetype = "fsharp",
}

From GitHub repository:

local parser_config = require "nvim-treesitter.parsers".get_parser_configs()
parser_config.fsharp = {
  install_info = {
    url = "https://github.com/Nsidorenco/tree-sitter-fsharp",
    branch = "develop"
    files = {"src/scanner.cc", "src/parser.c" }
  },
  filetype = "fsharp",
}

Status

The grammar currently has support for most language features, but might have rough edges. Some parts, like the type annotations are still very bare-bones.

The grammar supports indentation-based scoping but does not fully support offside indentation and opening new indentation levels on record/list construction.

The precedence rules for the different grammar nodes (and particularly expressions) are not set properly yet, which means that the parser size is much larger than needed.

Testing

Testing corpus

To run all tests stores in corpus/ run

$ npm test

Test parsing a specific file

$ npm run debug $file

How to contribute

Clone the repo and start playing around with it. If you find a code example which fails to parse, please reduce it to a minimal example, such that it can be added to the corpus as a test case.

PRs fleshing out the grammar or fixing bugs are very welcome!
