Grape

Grape is a syntax-aware grep-like utility for Clojure code. It allows one to search for code patterns using Clojure structures.

Command-Line

This is experimental for now.

java -jar grape.jar [-r|--recursive] <pattern> <file> [<file> ...]

If you have Homebrew, you can install it like so:

brew install bfontaine/utils/grape

Library

;; Lein/Boot
[bfontaine/grape "0.2.0"]

;; Deps
bfontaine/grape {:mvn/version "0.2.0"}
(require '[grape.core :as g])

(def my-code (slurp "myfile.clj"))

;; Find all occurrences of map called with three arguments
(g/find-codes my-code (g/pattern "(map $ $ $)"))

;; Find all occurrences of (condp = ...)
(g/find-codes my-code (g/pattern "(condp = $&)"))

;; Find all occurrences of `if` with no `else` clause
(g/find-codes my-code (g/pattern "(if $ $)"))
; => ({:match "(if …)", :meta {…}}, …)

Matches are map with a :match key that contains a string with the matching code and a :meta key with line/column metadata which you can use to locate the code in your file.

Patterns

A pattern is any valid Clojure expression. It can contain some special symbols that are interpreted as wildcards.

Comments, whitespaces, and discard reader macros (#_) are ignored when matching.

Wildcards

  • $: any expression.
  • $&: any number of expressions, including zero. (f $&) matches (f), (f 1), (f 1 2), etc.
  • $string, $list, etc: any expression of the given type. These mirror Parcera’s grammar.

See the full patterns documentation.

Wildcards can be combined: #{$ $&} matches a set with at least one element.
