Overview
Exemplify-Eval creates Exemplify-ERT–like examples.
Here's what happens after running either:
M-x
exemplify-eval-arrowify-sexp — with point in each of these lines, one by one, orM-x
exemplify-eval-arrowify-region — with point in each of these two paragraphs.
From:
(* 6 7) (cons :a 1) (string= 4 2) (concat "a" foo "b") (h<-alist '((:a . 1) (:b . 2))) #s(hash-table data (:a 1)) (h<-alist '((:a . 1) (:b . 2) (:c . 3) (:d . 4) (:e . 5)))
To:
(* 6 7) => 42 (cons :a 1) => '(:a . 1) (string= 4 2) !!> wrong-type-argument (concat "a" foo "b") !!> void-variable (h<-alist '((:a . 1) (:b . 2))) H=> (h* :a 1 :b 2) #s(hash-table data (:a 1)) H=> (h-st* 65 'eql :a 1) (h<-alist '((:a . 1) (:b . 2) (:c . 3) (:d . 4) (:e . 5))) H=> (h* :a 1 :b 2 :c 3 :d 4 :e 5)
Note that:
- If the result doesn't fit in a single line, it starts in the next one, pretty-printed.
- If the result is an error, you get
!!>
followed by the error type. - If the result is a hash table, it creates an
H=>
arrow followed by an xht's (h*…) form. - If you rerun
M-x exemplify-eval-sexp
, it reevaluates and replaces the previous result.
Want to align them?
If you also have the package Exemplify-Align, you can then quickly align all arrowheads in a paragraph or region.
And you can do it all with a single command.
The previous example
With point in that paragraph:
M-x
exemplify-eval-arrowify-region-and-align creates Exemplify-ERT–like examples for every line — and then align them:
;; Regular results (* 6 7) => 42 (cons :a 1) => '(:a . 1) ;; Some errors (string= 4 2) !!> wrong-type-argument (concat "a" foo "b") !!> void-variable ;; Some hash tables (h<-alist '((:a . 1) (:b . 2))) H=> (h* :a 1 :b 2) #s(hash-table data (:a 1)) H=> (h-st* 65 'eql :a 1)
Note that when running it on a paragraph or selected region, all comments are skipped (not eval'd).
A larger example
All the results below were also created by the same single command.
;;; Quoted ;;;; Lists (butlast '(a b c)) => '(a b) (make-list 14 :a) => '(:a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a) ;;;; Symbols (type-of "foo") => 'string (read "'foo") => 'foo (car '(a b c)) => 'a ;; ;;; Unquoted ;;;; Keywords (read ":a") => :a (car '(:a . 1)) => :a ;;;; Booleans (integerp 42) => t (integerp "foo") => nil ;;;; Lambdas (lambda (x) (+ 42 x)) => (lambda (x) (+ 42 x)) (-cut + 42 <>) => (lambda (D1) (+ 42 D1)) ;;;; Vectors (vector 'a 'b) => [a b] (make-vector 14 :a) => [:a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a :a] ;;;; Strings (concat "a" "b" "c") => "abc" (rx bol (+ (| "#" ";"))) => "^[#;]+" ;;;; Numbers (- (read "42")) => -42 (-> 42 (* 42) (- 42)) => 1722 float-pi => 3.141592653589793 (expt 8 42) => 85070591730234615865843651857942052864 ;; ;;; Hash tables (h<-it '(:a . 1)) H=> (h* :a 1) (h-t* 'eq :a 1) H=> (h-st* 1 'eq :a 1) #s(hash-table data (:a 1)) H=> (h-st* 65 'eql :a 1) ;; ;;; Errors (/ 42 0) !!> arith-error (elt [:foo :bar] 42) !!> args-out-of-range (error "foo") !!> error (require 'foobar) !!> file-missing (read "#foo#") !!> invalid-read-syntax (re-search-forward "[^}") !!> invalid-regexp (throw :foo :bar) !!> no-catch (expt 42 (expt 42 42)) !!> overflow-error (search-forward "unfoo") !!> search-failed (setq :foo :bar) !!> setting-constant (user-error "foo") !!> user-error (foobar "quux") !!> void-function (concat foobar quux) !!> void-variable (cons) !!> wrong-number-of-arguments (vconcat (h*)) !!> wrong-type-argument
And likewise, if you reevaluate it, the results remain where they are.
Installation
See my page Software for the most up-to-date instructions on how to download and install any of my Emacs packages.
Having downloaded and installed the package and its dependencies, adapt the configurations below to your init.el
file.
You can access all commands through exemplify-eval-do if you prefer to bind a single key.
(use-package exemplify-eval :bind ("C-x e" . exemplify-eval-do)) ; or any key you prefer
Alternatively, if you don’t have use-package
:
(require exemplify-eval)
and bind accordingly.
Summary of callables
Here's an overview of this package's callables (all of which are interactive):
Function | Summary |
---|---|
exemplify-eval-do | Run an exemplify-eval command. |
exemplify-eval-arrowify-sexp | Insert evaluation of sexp, preceded by an appropriate arrow. |
exemplify-eval-arrowify-region | Run ‘exemplify-eval-arrowify-sexp’ on this region. |
exemplify-eval-arrowify-region-and-align | Run ‘exemplify-eval-arrowify-region’, then align arrowheads. |
exemplify-eval-dearrowify-sexp | Remove arrowified results and the whitespace before arrow. |
exemplify-eval-dearrowify-region | Run ‘exemplify-eval-dearrowify-sexp’ on this region. |
exemplify-eval-see-readme | Open exemplify-eval's README.org file. |
exemplify-eval-see-news | See the News in exemplify-eval's README.org file. |
They're described in more detail below.
Functions
Arrowify or dearrowify
Commands to create or remove arrowified evaluations.
Dispatcher | All creation and removal actions under a single command |
Arrowify | Create Exemplify-ERT–like evaluations |
Dearrowify | Remove Exemplify-ERT–like evaluations |
Core
Dispatcher
All actions can be accessed from here using numeric prefix keys.
(&optional arg)
Run an exemplify-eval command.
Numeric prefix ARG selects the command.
ARG defaults to 1, and can be:
- 1: Run exemplify-eval-arrowify-sexp.
- 2: Run exemplify-eval-arrowify-region.
- 3: Run exemplify-eval-arrowify-region-and-align.
- 5: Run exemplify-eval-dearrowify-sexp.
- 6: Run exemplify-eval-dearrowify-region.
- Otherwise: choose from menu.
Arrowify
Commands to create arrowified evaluations.
()
Insert evaluation of sexp, preceded by an appropriate arrow.
If there were previous results, replace them.
If the sexp evals to:
- error, print
!!>
followed by the error type; - a hash table, use the symbol
H=>
instead, followed by a (h*…)
representation — or (h-st*…) when the test used isn't 'equal; - anything else, use
=>
followed by the regular evaluation, which
gets quoted if it's either a symbol or a non-lambda cons.
If the sexp spans:
- a single line, then put the arrow at the end of that line, and
present compact results in a single line. - multiple lines, then put the arrow at the start of the next line,
and pretty-print results (which can thereby span several lines);
This command can be run from anywhere inside the sexp to be eval'd,
or from the end of the line where the sexp ends (even if that is
inside previous evaluation results).
()
Run exemplify-eval-arrowify-sexp on this region.
If no region is selected, act on the current paragraph.
Do it on every valid line. Some invalid lines that are skipped are
those that are commented, or empty, or representing exemplify-ert
sexps, or starting with an arrow.
()
Run exemplify-eval-arrowify-region, then align arrowheads.
To align arrowheads you need the package exemplify-align
.
Dearrowify
Commands to remove arrowified evaluations.
()
Remove arrowified results and the whitespace before arrow.
Act on the sexp that ends on current line.
If arrowify results don't exist, do nothing.
()
Run exemplify-eval-dearrowify-sexp on this region.
If no region is selected, act on the current paragraph.
Do it on every valid line. Some invalid lines that are skipped are
those that are commented, or empty, or representing exemplify-ert
sexps, or starting with an arrow.
See README
Commands to open exemplify-eval's README.org.
Optionally, find things in it.
exemplify-eval-see-readme (&optional heading narrow)
Open exemplify-eval's README.org file.
Search for the file in exemplify-eval.el's directory.
If found, open it read-only.
If optional argument HEADING is passed, try to navigate to the
heading after opening it. HEADING should be a string.
If optional argument NARROW is non-nil, narrow to that heading.
This argument has no effect if HEADING is nil or not found.
