Std.Text.Parse.label

1 declaration

fn

label: Str -> fn(Std.Text.Parse.Input) -> Result[(T, Std.Text.Parse.Input), Std.Text.Parse.Problem] -> fn(Std.Text.Parse.Input) -> Result[(T, Std.Text.Parse.Input), Std.Text.Parse.Problem]

This is a callable function.

What it does

Say what a parser wanted, in the reader's words rather than the grammar's.

Replaced only where the parser failed without consuming. A parser that read

part of what it wanted has already told a more precise story, and covering

it with the outer name would lose where the trouble was.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
