type-sitter-cli: Command-line utility to generate source files with type-sitter wrappers

See type-sitter for background information, and type-sitter#cli-tool for a guide on how to use that applied to most cases. This is the command-line tool which generates typed-safe wrappers for tree-sitter nodes.

Advanced usage

Remember, if -o isn't specified it defaults to src/type_sitter.

# Generate bindings for the `yak-sitter` feature
type-sitter-cli vendor/tree-sitter-foobar-lang --use-yak-sitter
echo "pub mod foobar_lang;\n" > src/type_sitter.rs
# You can generate bindings for multiple grammars in the same directory
type-sitter-cli vendor/tree-sitter-typescript --use-yak-sitter
echo "pub mod typescript;\n" >> src/type_sitter.rs
# Generate only node types or queries
type-sitter-cli vendor/tree-sitter-rust/src/node-types.json --use-yak-sitter
echo "pub mod rust;\n" >> src/type_sitter.rs  # src/type_sitter/rust.rs contains only node types
type-sitter-cli vendor/tree-sitter-json/queries/json --use-yak-sitter
echo "pub mod json;\n" >> src/type_sitter.rs  # src/type_sitter/json.rs contains only queries
# To see help for the CLI program
type-sitter-cli --help

Issues

• Q: I can't import the generated sources.
• A: type-sitter-cli doesn't generate the root module for generated sources itself, you must do so manually. e.g. if the root module is the default (src/type_sitter), either create src/type_sitter.rs or src/type_sitter/mod.rs and add pub mod <my_language>; to it.

• Q: I get build errors for missing symbols within type_sitter.
• A: Make sure you have the type-sitter dependency in your Cargo.toml. Also, make sure use-default-features is set to false, because the default features includes the proc macros, which the CLI is an alternative to.

• Q: I get build errors for symbols within tree-sitter.
• A: Make sure you are using tree-sitter 0.22.
