syntax.connection

Defines classes for parsing and compiling connection declarations, which consist of exactly two node declarations separated by an arrow (->):

<node> -> <node>

class ConnectionSyntax(srcNode, dstNode)

Represents the abstract syntax of a connection declaration, which consists of two node syntax objects. The source node conveys data (output) to the destination node (input).

__init__(srcNode, dstNode)

Initializes a new connection syntax object with the given source and destination nodes.

__str__()

Converts the connection syntax back into raw text.

compile(boxes)

Compiles this object into a ConnectionDeclaration by compiling the source and destination nodes in turn.

Parameters:boxes – The list of compiled box declarations. Returns:the newly created connection declaration. Raises :a CompilationError if any static checks fail.

classmethod parse(text)

Parses the given input text to produce a new ConnectionSyntax object.

Returns:the newly created syntax object. Raises :a ParsingError if the syntax is invalid.
