<h1 id="adding-indent-queries"><a class="header" href="#adding-indent-queries">Adding Indent Queries</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Helix uses tree-sitter to correctly indent new lines. This requires
|
|
a tree-sitter grammar and an <code>indent.scm</code> query file placed in
|
|
<code>runtime/queries/{language}/indents.scm</code>. The indentation for a line
|
|
is calculated by traversing the syntax tree from the lowest node at the
|
|
beginning of the new line. Each of these nodes contributes to the total
|
|
indent when it is captured by the query (in what way depends on the name
|
|
of the capture).</p>
|
|
<p>Note that it matters where these added indents begin. For example,
|
|
multiple indent level increases that start on the same line only increase
|
|
the total indent level by 1.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="scopes"><a class="header" href="#scopes">Scopes</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Added indents don't always apply to the whole node. For example, in most
|
|
cases when a node should be indented, we actually only want everything
|
|
except for its first line to be indented. For this, there are several
|
|
scopes (more scopes may be added in the future if required):</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>all</code>:
|
|
This scope applies to the whole captured node. This is only different from
|
|
<code>tail</code> when the captured node is the first node on its line.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>tail</code>:
|
|
This scope applies to everything except for the first line of the
|
|
captured node.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Every capture type has a default scope which should do the right thing
|
|
in most situations. When a different scope is required, this can be
|
|
changed by using a <code>#set!</code> declaration anywhere in the pattern:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-scm">(assignment_expression
|
|
right: (_) @indent
|
|
(#set! "scope" "all"))
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2 id="capture-types"><a class="header" href="#capture-types">Capture Types</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>@indent</code> (default scope <code>tail</code>):
|
|
Increase the indent level by 1. Multiple occurrences in the same line
|
|
don't stack. If there is at least one <code>@indent</code> and one <code>@outdent</code>
|
|
capture on the same line, the indent level isn't changed at all.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>@outdent</code> (default scope <code>all</code>):
|
|
Decrease the indent level by 1. The same rules as for <code>@indent</code> apply.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>@extend</code>:
|
|
Extend the range of this node to the end of the line and to lines that
|
|
are indented more than the line that this node starts on. This is useful
|
|
for languages like Python, where for the purpose of indentation some nodes
|
|
(like functions or classes) should also contain indented lines that follow them.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>@extend.prevent-once</code>:
|
|
Prevents the first extension of an ancestor of this node. For example, in Python
|
|
a return expression always ends the block that it is in. Note that this only stops the
|
|
extension of the next <code>@extend</code> capture. If multiple ancestors are captured,
|
|
only the extension of the innermost one is prevented. All other ancestors are unaffected
|
|
(regardless of whether the innermost ancestor would actually have been extended).</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2 id="predicates"><a class="header" href="#predicates">Predicates</a></h2>
|
|
<p>In some cases, an S-expression cannot express exactly what pattern should be matched.
|
|
For that, tree-sitter allows for predicates to appear anywhere within a pattern,
|
|
similar to how <code>#set!</code> declarations work:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-scm">(some_kind
|
|
(child_kind) @indent
|
|
(#predicate? arg1 arg2 ...)
|
|
)
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The number of arguments depends on the predicate that's used.
|
|
Each argument is either a capture (<code>@name</code>) or a string (<code>"some string"</code>).
|
|
The following predicates are supported by tree-sitter:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>#eq?</code>/<code>#not-eq?</code>:
|
|
The first argument (a capture) must/must not be equal to the second argument
|
|
(a capture or a string).</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>#match?</code>/<code>#not-match?</code>:
|
|
The first argument (a capture) must/must not match the regex given in the
|
|
second argument (a string).</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Additionally, we support some custom predicates for indent queries:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>#not-kind-eq?</code>:
|
|
The kind of the first argument (a capture) must not be equal to the second
|
|
argument (a string).</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>#same-line?</code>/<code>#not-same-line?</code>:
|
|
The captures given by the 2 arguments must/must not start on the same line.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
