graphtage.yaml

A graphtage.Filetype for parsing, diffing, and rendering YAML files.

yaml classes

YAML

class graphtage.yaml.YAML

Bases: Filetype

The YAML filetype.

__init__()

Initializes the YAML file type.

By default, YAML associates itself with the “yaml”, “application/x-yaml”, “application/yaml”, “text/yaml”, “text/x-yaml”, and “text/vnd.yaml” MIME types.

build_tree(path: str, options: BuildOptions | None = None) TreeNode

Builds an intermediate representation tree from a file of this Filetype.

Parameters:
  • path – Path to the file to parse

  • options – An optional set of options for building the tree

Returns:

The root tree node of the provided file

Return type:

TreeNode

build_tree_handling_errors(path: str, options: BuildOptions | None = None) str | TreeNode

Same as Filetype.build_tree(), but it should return a human-readable error string on failure.

This function should never throw an exception.

Parameters:
  • path – Path to the file to parse

  • options – An optional set of options for building the tree

Returns:

On success, the root tree node, or a string containing the error message on failure.

Return type:

Union[str, TreeNode]

default_instance: Filetype = <graphtage.yaml.YAML object>
get_default_formatter() YAMLFormatter

Returns the default formatter for printing files of this type.

YAMLDictFormatter

class graphtage.yaml.YAMLDictFormatter(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: SequenceFormatter

DEFAULT_INSTANCE: Formatter[T] = <graphtage.yaml.YAMLDictFormatter object>

A default instance of this formatter, automatically instantiated by the FormatterChecker metaclass.

__init__()

Initializes a sequence formatter.

Parameters:
  • start_symbol – The symbol to print at the start of the sequence.

  • end_symbol – The symbol to print at the end of the sequence.

  • delimiter – A delimiter to print between items.

  • delimiter_callback

    A callback for when a delimiter is to be printed. If omitted, this defaults to:

    lambda p: p.write(delimiter)
    

static __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs) Formatter[T]

Instantiates a new formatter.

This automatically instantiates and populates Formatter.sub_formatters and sets their parent to this new formatter.

delimiter_callback: Callable[[Printer], Any]
edit_print(printer: Printer, edit: Edit)

Called when the edit for an item is to be printed.

If the SequenceNode being printed either is not edited or has no edits, then the edit passed to this function will be a Match(child, child, 0).

This implementation simply delegates the print to the Formatting Protocol:

self.print(printer, edit)
get_formatter(item: T) Callable[[Printer, T], Any] | None

Looks up a formatter for the given item using this formatter as a base.

Equivalent to:

get_formatter(item.__class__, base_formatter=self)
is_partial: bool = True

This is a partial formatter; it will not be automatically used in the Formatting Protocol.

item_newline(printer: Printer, is_first: bool = False, is_last: bool = False)

Called before each node is printed.

This is also called one extra time after the last node, if there is at least one node printed.

The default implementation is simply:

printer.newline()
items_indent(printer: Printer)

Returns a Printer context with an indentation.

This is called as:

with self.items_indent(printer) as p:

immediately after the self.start_symbol is printed, but before any of the items have been printed.

This default implementation is equivalent to:

return printer.indent()
parent: Formatter[T] | None = None

The parent formatter for this formatter instance.

This is automatically populated by Formatter.__new__() and should never be manually modified.

print(printer: Printer, node_or_edit: TreeNode | Edit, with_edits: bool = True)

Prints the given node or edit.

Parameters:
  • printer – The printer to which to write.

  • node_or_edit – The node or edit to print.

  • with_edits – If :keyword:True, print any edits associated with the node.

Note

The protocol for determining how a node or edit should be printed is very complex due to its extensibility. See the Printing Protocol for a detailed description.

print_MappingNode(*args, **kwargs)
print_MultiSetNode(*args, **kwargs)
print_SequenceNode(*args, **kwargs)

Formats a sequence node.

The protocol for this function is as follows:

  • Print self.start_symbol

  • With the printer returned by self.items_indent:
    • For each edit in the sequence (or just a sequence of graphtage.Match for each child, if the node is not edited):
      • Call self.item_newline(printer, is_first=index == 0)

      • Call self.edit_print(printer, edit)

  • If at least one edit was printed, then call self.item_newline(printer, is_last=True)

  • Print self.start_symbol

property root: Formatter[T]

Returns the root formatter.

sub_formatters: List[Formatter[T]] = []

The list of instantiated formatters corresponding to Formatter.sub_format_types.

This list is automatically populated by Formatter.__new__() and should never be manually modified.

  • c – The character to write.

  • index – The index of the character in the string.

  • num_edits – The total number of characters that will be printed.
