Targets
Rules need to specify what types of text they should target. We ship a few by default, but jint is extensible, so you can bring your own grammar and capture your own elements.
| target | resolves to |
|---|---|
files |
the whole unit as source text (no walk) |
functions |
elements captured as functions |
classes |
elements captured as classes (the @class capture: class-like units) |
methods |
elements captured as methods (the @method capture: member functions) |
types |
elements captured as types (interfaces, structs, enums, aliases) |
bindings |
elements captured as bindings (a name bound to a value) |
definitions |
elements captured as functions, classes, methods, types or bindings (a shorthand: prefer the specific targets in new rules) |
comments |
elements captured as comments, plus the definition each one belongs to (the comments above it, inside it, and its docstring) |
loose-comments |
elements captured as standalone comments, with no definition they belong to: runs of comments and inline comments outside any definition |
imports |
elements captured as imports: one merged import group per file |
