This module is not public, the functions from -- it are re-exported in "Text.Megaparsec.Byte" and "Text.Megaparsec.Char". -- -- @since 7.0.0 {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-} module Text.Megaparsec.Lexer ( -- * White space space , lexeme , symbol , symbol' ) where import Text.Megaparsec import Text.Megaparsec.Common import qualified Data.CaseInsensitive as CI ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- White space -- | @'space' sc lineComment blockComment@ produces parser that can parse -- white space in general. It's expected that you create such a parser once -- and pass it to other functions in this module as needed (when you see -- @spaceConsumer@ in documentation, usually it means that something like -- 'space' is expected there). -- -- @sc@ is used to parse blocks of space characters. You can use 'C.space1' -- from "Text.Megaparsec.Char" for this purpose as well as your own parser -- (if you don't want to automatically consume newlines, for example). Make -- sure the parser does not succeed on empty input though. In earlier -- version 'C.spaceChar' was recommended, but now parsers based on -- 'takeWhile1P' are preferred because of their speed. -- -- @lineComment@ is used to parse line comments. You can use -- 'skipLineComment' if you don't need anything special. -- -- @blockComment@ is used to parse block (multi-line) comments. You can use -- 'skipBlockComment' or 'skipBlockCommentNested' if you don't need anything -- special. -- -- If you don't want to allow a kind of comment, simply pass 'empty' which -- will fail instantly when parsing of that sort of comment is attempted and -- 'space' will just move on or finish depending on whether there is more -- white space for it to consume. space :: MonadParsec e s m => m () -- ^ A parser for space characters which does not accept empty -- input (e.g. 'C.space1') -> m () -- ^ A parser for a line comment (e.g. 'skipLineComment') -> m () -- ^ A parser for a block comment (e.g. 'skipBlockComment') -> m () space sp line block = skipMany $ choice [hidden sp, hidden line, hidden block] {-# INLINEABLE space #-} -- | This is a wrapper for lexemes.
