toml-eslint-parser

A TOML parser that produces output compatible with ESLint.


Features

- Converts TOML text to AST.
- Support for TOML 1.0.0.
- Experimental support for TOML 1.1.0. (Specifications for November 2023)

Installation

``bash
npm install --save-dev toml-eslint-parser
`

Usage

> [!TIP]
> If you want to lint TOML files, we recommend using [eslint-plugin-toml] together with this parser. The plugin provides useful rules for TOML files and includes this parser as a dependency.

$3

The following additional configuration options are available by specifying them in parserOptions in your ESLint configuration file.

Example eslint.config.js:

`js
export default [
{
files: ["*/.toml"],
languageOptions: {
// Additional configuration options
parserOptions: {
tomlVersion: "1.0.0",
},
},
},
];
`

#### parserOptions.tomlVersion

Select the TOML version by setting "1.0.0", "1.1.0", "1.0", "1.1", "latest", or "next". By default "1.1.0" is used.

- "1.0.0" ... Parsed using TOML v1.0.0 specifications.
- "1.0" ... Alias for "1.0.0".
- "1.1.0" ... Parsed using the TOML v1.1.0 specification, which is currently under development. TOML 1.1.0 has not been released yet, so "1.1.0" is still an experimental feature. Please note that this may be subject to breaking changes in minor version releases of this parser.
- "1.1" ... Alias for "1.1.0".
- "latest" ... Currently an alias for "1.1.0". When a new version of TOML is released, we plan to change to that version in a minor version release of this parser.
- "next" ... Currently an alias for "1.1.0".

> [!TIP]
> If you want to lint TOML files, we recommend using [eslint-plugin-toml] together with this parser. Using [eslint-plugin-toml] as a language plugin will include this parser as a dependency.
> The following example shows how to use the parser directly without the language plugin. This is not the recommended approach, but it works. Note that ESLint will perform additional internal processing (such as JavaScript scope analysis).

Use eslint.config.js (or eslint.config.mjs) file to configure parser. See also: https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/.

Example eslint.config.js:

`js
import * as tomlParser from "toml-eslint-parser";

export default [
{
files: ["*/.toml"],
languageOptions: {
parser: tomlParser,
},
},
];
`

Usage for Custom Rules / Plugins

- AST.md is AST specification.
- keys-order.ts is an example.
- You can see the AST on the Online DEMO.

Usage for Directly

Example:

`ts
import type { AST } from "toml-eslint-parser";
import { parseTOML, getStaticTOMLValue } from "toml-eslint-parser";

const code =

This is a TOML document

title = "TOML Example"

[owner]
name = "Tom Preston-Werner"
dob = 1979-05-27T07:32:00-08:00

[database]
enabled = true
ports = [ 8001, 8001, 8002 ]
data = [ ["delta", "phi"], [3.14] ]
temp_targets = { cpu = 79.5, case = 72.0 }

[servers]

[servers.alpha]
ip = "10.0.0.1"
role = "frontend"

[servers.beta]
ip = "10.0.0.2"
role = "backend"
;

const ast: AST.TOMLProgram = parseTOML(code);
console.log(ast);
// {
// type: 'Program',
// body: [
// {
// type: 'TOMLTopLevelTable',
// body: [
// {
// type: 'TOMLKeyValue',
// key: { / ... / },
// value: { / ... / },
// / ... /
// },
// {
// type: 'TOMLTable',
// kind: 'standard',
// key: { / ... / },
// body: [ / ... / ],
// / ... /
// },
// / ... /
// ]
// / ... /
// }
// ],
// tokens: [ / ... / ],
// comments: [
// {
// type: 'Block',
// value: ' This is a TOML document',
// // ...
// }
// ],
// }

const value = getStaticTOMLValue(ast);
console.log(value);
// {
// title: 'TOML Example',
// owner: { name: 'Tom Preston-Werner', dob: 1979-05-27T15:32:00.000Z },
// database: {
// enabled: true,
// ports: [ 8001, 8001, 8002 ],
// data: [ [ / ... / ], [ / ... / ] ],
// temp_targets: { cpu: 79.5, case: 72 }
// },
// servers: {
// alpha: { ip: '10.0.0.1', role: 'frontend' },
// beta: { ip: '10.0.0.2', role: 'backend' }
// }
// }
