🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Are you lost? 😭 Are you out here struggling to understand this document? No worries, fr fr — in that case please go read the overview that the Introduction to Parser Tools gives you. That document is the entrypoint to the whole system that this current package is a part of. start there, it's the main character 👑

So. This package is an adjunct to pt::peg::to::tclparam. The way that package is so highly configurable can make it a lil overwhelming, so this one exists to make using it easier by handing you a canned configuration. When you apply it, this configuration makes pt::peg::to::tclparam generate snit-based parser packages. slay.

It's a supporting package in the Core Layer of Parser Tools. lowkey important, highkey underrated.

🌈 API 🌈

• ::pt::tclparam::configuration::snit def name pkg version cmdprefix — this command applies the configuration that this package provides to the cmdprefix, and that causes the creation of snit-based parsers whose class is name, in package pkg, with version version. that's the whole thing, periodt.

The reason it's a command prefix as the API instead of, like, a hardcoded call is ✨flexibility✨: it lets you apply the configuration not only to pt::peg::to::tclparam (via pt::peg::to::tclparam configure), but also to export manager instances and PEG containers ($export configuration set and [$container exporter] configuration set respectively). obsessed with the range honestly.

Or, like, literally any other command prefix that accepts two arguments: option and value. no cap.
