Major mode for Puppet using Tree-sitter
This package uses a Tree-sitter parser to provide syntax highlighting, indentation, alignment, completion, xref navigation and code checking for the Puppet domain-specific language. Syntax highlighting: Fontification is supported using custom faces for Puppet syntax elements like comments, strings, variables, constants, keywords, resource types and their metaparameters. Syntax errors can be shown using a warning face by setting `treesit-font-lock-level' to 4. Indentation: Automatic indentation according to the Puppet coding standards is provided. Alignment: Alignment rules for common Puppet expressions are included. The function `puppet-ts-align-block' (bound to "C-c C-a") aligns the current block with respect to "=>" for attributes and hashes or "=" for parameter lists. The fat arrow and equal sign are electric and they perform automatic alignment. Electricity is controlled by `puppet-ts-greater-is-electric' and `puppet-ts-equal-is-electric'. Completion: The mode updates the `completion-at-point' component to complete variable names and resource types. Tree-sitter is used to extract the local variable names from the current buffer. Imenu: Navigation to the resource types and variable assignments used in a file is implemented using the imenu facility. Cross-reference navigation: When point is on an identifier for a class, defined type, data type or custom function, the definition of that element can easily be opened with `xref-find-definitions' (bound to "M-."). The list of directories that will be searched to locate the definition is customized in `puppet-ts-module-path'. Code checking: Validate the syntax of the current buffer with `puppet-ts-validate' (bound to "C-c C-v"). Lint the current buffer for semantic errors with `puppet-ts-lint' (bound to "C-c C-l"). Apply the current buffer in noop-mode with `puppet-ts-apply' (bound to "C-c C-c"). The package uses a Tree-sitter library to parse Puppet code and you need to install the appropriate parser. This can be done by using this Elisp code: (require 'puppet-ts-mode) (puppet-ts-mode-install-grammar) Note that a C compiler is required for this step. Using the function provided by the package ensures that a version of the parser matching the package will be installed. These commands should also be used to update the parser to the correct version when the package is updated.
