import "cuelang.org/go/cue/ast"
Package ast declares the types used to represent syntax trees for CUE packages.
ast.go comments.go ident.go walk.go
ErrIsExpression reports whether a label is an expression. This error is never returned directly. Use errors.Is or xerrors.Is.
func AddComment(n Node, cg *CommentGroup)
AddComment adds the given comment to the node if it supports it. If a node does not support comments, such as for CommentGroup or Comment, this call has no effect.
LabelName reports the name of a label, whether it is an identifier (it binds a value to a scope), and whether it is valid. Keywords that are allowed in label positions are interpreted accordingly.
Examples:
Label Result foo "foo" true nil `a-b` "a-b" true nil true true true nil "foo" "foo" false nil `a-b "" false invalid identifier "foo "" false invalid string "\(x)" "" false errors.Is(err, ErrIsExpression) <A> "A" false errors.Is(err, ErrIsExpression)
ParseIdent unquotes a possibly quoted identifier and validates if the result is valid.
QuoteIdent quotes an identifier, if needed, and reports an error if the identifier is invalid.
func SetComments(n Node, cgs []*CommentGroup)
SetComments replaces all comments of n with the given set of comments. If a node does not support comments, such as for CommentGroup or Comment, this call has no effect.
SetPos sets a node to the given position, if possible.
SetRelPos sets the relative position of a node without modifying its file position. Setting it to token.NoRelPos allows a node to adopt default formatting.
Walk traverses an AST in depth-first order: It starts by calling f(node); node must not be nil. If before returns true, Walk invokes f recursively for each of the non-nil children of node, followed by a call of after. Both functions may be nil. If before is nil, it is assumed to always return true.
