README

janet

Package janet contains a Janet virtual machine for interoperation between Go and Janet code. Users of its API can register callbacks, define symbols in the Janet environment, execute Janet code, and convert between Go and Janet values.

This code is, admittedly, a little terrifying. Suffice it to say that Janet was not designed to be used from Go, and as a result there are a lot of silly tricks this library uses to ensure we only access memory used by the Janet VM in the goroutine where it was initialized.

Updating Janet

To update the janet version, clone the janet-lang/janet repository and run make, then copy build/c/janet.c, src/include/janet.h, and src/conf/janetconf.h to this directory.

Functions

func IsValidType

func IsValidType(value interface{}) bool

IsValidType returns true if the given value can be translated to a Janet value.

Types

type Call

type Call struct {
	Code       []byte
	SourcePath string
	Options    CallOptions
}

func CallBytes

func CallBytes(data []byte) Call

func CallString

func CallString(code string) Call

type CallOptions

type CallOptions struct {
	// Whether to allow the code to mutate the current environment.
	UpdateEnv bool
}

type Callback

type Callback struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Callback) Source

func (c *Callback) Source() (file string, line int)

type Docstrings

type Docstrings interface {
	Docstrings() map[string]string
}

Docstrings provides docstrings for module methods. This is a mapping from the method's Go name to its Janet docstring.

type Documented

type Documented interface {
	Documentation() string
}

Documented provides documentation in the form of a Markdown-formatted string. All of the lines following a top-level Markdown header with a title that matches a Go method name will be included as the Janet documentation for that method.

For example, providing a string that looks like this: ``` # doc: SomeMethod This is some documentation # doc: SomeMethodB This is some other documentation ``` Will result in SomeMethod and SomeMethodB having those docstrings.

type Fiber

type Fiber struct {
	*Value
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

type Function

type Function struct {
	*Value
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Function) Call

func (f *Function) Call(ctx context.Context, params ...interface{}) error

func (*Function) CallContext

func (f *Function) CallContext(
	ctx context.Context,
	user interface{},
	params ...interface{},
) error

type Keyword

type Keyword string

type Marshalable

type Marshalable interface {
	MarshalJanet() interface{}
}

Marshalable lets you define a custom (pure) transformation to perform on this type prior to translating it into a Janet value.

type Named

type Named[T any] struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Named[T]) Values

func (n *Named[T]) Values() T

func (*Named[T]) WithDefault

func (n *Named[T]) WithDefault(defaults T) T

type Params

type Params struct {
	Context context.Context
	User    interface{}
	Result  chan Result

	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*PartialCallback) Call

func (p *PartialCallback) Call() []reflect.Value

type Renamable

type Renamable interface {
	Renames() map[string]string

Renamable provides a mapping from Go method names to Janet function names. This is useful for declaring Janet functions that are not valid Go, such as "boolean?".
