# integer-interval-expressions-go
2+
A Go library for parsing integer interval expressions such as `1,3-5,7-`
3+
4+
These kinds of expressions are commonly seen in application contexts such as page selectors
5+
in print dialogs, or field selector in the CLI `cut` tool, and so on. This library
6+
provides support for parsing and utilizing such expressions in wide variety of
7+
application contexts.
8+
9+
Internally, the library parses an input string into an abstract logical expression,
10+
which can be then evaluated with integer values to determine whether those
11+
values lie in any of the specified intervals. The parsed expressions do not contain
12+
any actual integer sequences, which allows for small memory usage and support for
13+
infinite ranges
14+
15+
# Install
16+
17+
Add the library into your project:
18+
19+
$ go get github.com/MawKKe/integer-interval-expressions-go@latest
20+
21+
then import the library in your application:
22+
23+
import (
24+
...
25+
intervals "github.com/MawKKe/integer-interval-expressions-go"
26+
...
27+
)
28+
29+
# Usage
30+
31+
The library is quite simple to use. The primary function is `ParseExpression`
32+
which takes a string and returns the parsed intervals expression as an abstract
33+
`Expression` object:
34+
35+
```Go
36+
inputString := "1,3-5,7-"
37+
myExpr, err := intervals.ParseExpression(inputString)
38+
if err != nil {
39+
fmt.Println("error:", err)
40+
return
41+
}
42+
fmt.Println("got valid expression:", myExpr)
43+
```
44+
45+
Now you can evaluate the expression with various values:
46+
47+
```Go
48+
myExpr.Matches(1) // == true
49+
myExpr.Matches(2) // == false
50+
myExpr.Matches(3) // == true
51+
myExpr.Matches(4) // == true
52+
myExpr.Matches(6) // == false
53+
myExpr.Matches(7) // == true
54+
myExpr.Matches(8) // == true
55+
myExpr.Matches(9) // == true, is so for all values >=7
56+
```
57+
As you see, the expression evaluates to true only on the specified integer
58+
intervals.
59+
60+
**NOTE**: The `ParseExpression()` is merely a convenience function, while the
61+
actual work is performed by `ParseExpressionWithOptions()`. The difference is
62+
that the latter accepts a `ParseOptions` struct in addition to the input
63+
string; the options can be used for adjusting the operation of the parser to
64+
suit your needs. See the `go doc` documentation for more information. You may
65+
also be interested in the example and test functions in `expr_test.go`
66+
67+
Thats pretty much all there is to it. How you actually use this functionality
68+
is up to you. A typical use case is to iterate your application data entries
69+
and check each one against the expression:
70+
71+
```Go
72+
for _, page := range MyDocument.Pages {
73+
if myExpr.Matches(page.Number){
74+
PrintPage(page)
75+
}
76+
}
77+
```
78+
etc.
79+
80+
## Syntax
81+
82+
An intervals expression consists of sequence of individual subexpressions.
83+
84+
A subexpression describes a continuous range of integral values (i.e an
85+
interval). A single subexpression string contains one of the following:
86+
87+
- an single integer, for example `1`: only the value 1.
88+
89+
- an integer, a dash, and another integer, for example `3-5`: values 3,4 and 5.
90+
91+
- an integer and a dash, for example `7-`: denotes all integers from 7 to
92+
infinity (i.e 7,8,9,...)
93+
94+
The intervals expression is consists of subexpressions joined by a delimiter
95+
character. By default, a comma (`","`) is used as the delimiter (although a
96+
custom delimiter can be specified via the `ParseOptions` structure). For
97+
example, the expression `1,3-5,7-` can be understood to contain three
98+
subexpressions: `1`, `3-5` and `7-`. Note that the interval expression
99+
string does not need to contain any subexpressions, which means that `""` and
100+
`",,,,"` are valid inputs. However, both of these parse into an `Expression`
101+
structure containing 0 subexpressions and are, as such, rather useless.
102+
103+
Semantically, a single subexpression is a predicate, and combining multiple
104+
predicates denotes a logical disjunction. The above expression thus states that
105+
we have three predicates and an overall expression:
106+
107+
func a(x int) { return x == 1 } // "1"
108+
func b(x int) { return x >= 3 && x <= 5 } // "3-5"
109+
func c(x int) { return x >= 7 } // "7-"
110+
func expr(x int) { return a(x) || b(x) || c(x) }
111+
112+
(However note that in the library internals the expressions are not actually
113+
represented this way.)
114+
115+
**NOTE**: For now, the library does not support parsing expressions with spaces
116+
inside subexpressions, or between the subexpressions and delimiters. This may
117+
change in future version.
118+
119+
## Optimization
120+
The expression parser will happily process an input containing duplicate or
121+
overlapping subexpressions. Likewise, the order of subexpressions is irrelevant
122+
to the parser. However, poorly constructed expressions may result in
123+
unsatisfactory `Expression.Match` performance. To overcome such issues, the
124+
`Expression` instance can be simplified via its `Normalize()` method. The
125+
method sorts the subexpression ranges and merges overlapping ones, producing a
126+
minimal set of subexpressions. The resulting new `Expression` should be
127+
semantically equivalent to the original, while being more performant from practical
128+
perspective.
129+
130+
**NOTE**: The parser does not perform the normalization automatically, unless
131+
`ParseOptions::PostProcessNormalize` is set to true.
132+
133+
**NOTE**: Normalization may significantly change how an `Expression` is
134+
represented in text form. See the documentation for `Expression.String()`
135+
136+
## De-serialization
137+
An `Expression` object can be converted back to string form via the `String()`
138+
method. For non-normalized expressions the resulting string should match
139+
closely the original expression string (omitting any superfluous whitespace).
140+
With normalized expressions, the resulting string is unlikely to be anything
141+
like the original input expression unless the original expression was already
142+
in normal form (this is not a bug).
143+
