Elm GLSL Parser

An Elm package that implements a GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) parser, inspired by the Haskell GLSL parser. This library allows you to parse GLSL shader code into Elm data structures, enabling further manipulation, analysis, or code generation.

Getting Started

Installation

To install the package, run the following:

elm install guida-lang/glsl

Usage

Here’s an example of how to use the GLSL parser in Elm:

import Language.GLSL.Parser as Parser
import Language.GLSL.Syntax as Syntax

shaderSource : String
shaderSource =
    """
    void main() {
        gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    }
    """

parseResult : Result String Syntax.TranslationUnit
parseResult =
    Parser.parse shaderSource

Parsing GLSL

The parse function attempts to parse a GLSL shader string and returns a Result:

• Ok Syntax.TranslationUnit: If the shader was parsed successfully, it returns an abstract syntax tree (AST) representing the GLSL code.
• Err { position : Int, messages : List String }: If parsing failed, it returns an error object describing the position where the error occurs, and a list of error messages.

Example

case parseResult of
    Ok shader ->
        -- Do something with the parsed shader
        Debug.log "Parsed successfully!" shader

    Err error ->
        Debug.log "Failed to parse shader:" error
