# Rust Tree-sitter [![crates.io badge]][crates.io] [crates.io]: https://crates.io/crates/tree-sitter [crates.io badge]: https://img.shields.io/crates/v/tree-sitter.svg?color=%23B48723 Rust bindings to the [Tree-sitter][] parsing library. ## Basic Usage First, create a parser: ```rust use tree_sitter::{InputEdit, Language, Parser, Point}; let mut parser = Parser::new(); ``` Add the `cc` crate to your `Cargo.toml` under `[build-dependencies]`: ```toml [build-dependencies] cc="*" ``` Then, add a language as a dependency: ```toml [dependencies] tree-sitter = "0.22" tree-sitter-rust = "0.21" ``` To then use a language, you assign them to the parser. ```rust parser.set_language(&tree_sitter_rust::language()).expect("Error loading Rust grammar"); ``` Now you can parse source code: ```rust let source_code = "fn test() {}"; let mut tree = parser.parse(source_code, None).unwrap(); let root_node = tree.root_node(); assert_eq!(root_node.kind(), "source_file"); assert_eq!(root_node.start_position().column, 0); assert_eq!(root_node.end_position().column, 12); ``` ### Editing Once you have a syntax tree, you can update it when your source code changes. Passing in the previous edited tree makes `parse` run much more quickly: ```rust let new_source_code = "fn test(a: u32) {}"; tree.edit(&InputEdit { start_byte: 8, old_end_byte: 8, new_end_byte: 14, start_position: Point::new(0, 8), old_end_position: Point::new(0, 8), new_end_position: Point::new(0, 14), }); let new_tree = parser.parse(new_source_code, Some(&tree)); ``` ### Text Input The source code to parse can be provided either as a string, a slice, a vector, or as a function that returns a slice. The text can be encoded as either UTF8 or UTF16: ```rust // Store some source code in an array of lines. let lines = &[ "pub fn foo() {", " 1", "}", ]; // Parse the source code using a custom callback. The callback is called // with both a byte offset and a row/column offset. let tree = parser.parse_with(&mut |_byte: usize, position: Point| -> &[u8] { let row = position.row as usize; let column = position.column as usize; if row < lines.len() { if column < lines[row].as_bytes().len() { &lines[row].as_bytes()[column..] } else { b"\n" } } else { &[] } }, None).unwrap(); assert_eq!( tree.root_node().to_sexp(), "(source_file (function_item (visibility_modifier) (identifier) (parameters) (block (number_literal))))" ); ``` [tree-sitter]: https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter ## Features - **std** - This feature is enabled by default and allows `tree-sitter` to use the standard library. - Error types implement the `std::error:Error` trait. - `regex` performance optimizations are enabled. - The DOT graph methods are enabled. - **wasm** - This feature is enabled for Wasm targets. `tree-sitter` to be built for Wasm targets using the `wasmtime-c-api` crate.
