Description

This PR introduces comprehensive ES6 Phase 1 parser and interpreter runtime support. It expands the scripting capabilities of Ensemble by enabling block-scoped variables (let/const), template literals, destructuring declarations/assignments, default and rest parameters, spread operators, optional chaining, nullish coalescing, symbols, and non-blocking async/await execution.

Additionally, it adds detailed architecture and design documentation for both packages and resolves pre-existing analyzer and testing configuration issues.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)

What Has Changed

1. Parser Upgrades (packages/parsejs_null_safety)

  • ES6 AST Nodes: Introduced AST structures for ForOfStatement, DefaultParameter, RestParameter, ObjectPattern, ArrayPattern, SpreadExpression, TemplateLiteral, TaggedTemplateExpression, and AwaitExpression.
  • Lexer & Scanner: Added templates, optional chains (?.), and nullish coalescing (??) token scanning.
  • Scope Annotation: Updated EnvironmentBuilder and Resolver to resolve scopes for destructuring binding targets, rest parameters, and default values.
  • Test Utility Cleanup: Renamed helper scripts lexer_test.dart/parser_test.dart to lexer_tool.dart/parser_tool.dart to prevent the unit test runner (flutter test) from failing on parameter signatures.
  • Analyzer Fixes: Updated ast_json.dart to replace unnecessary NaN checks with .isNaN and return null in empty visitor signatures.

2. Runtime Support (packages/ensemble_ts_interpreter)

  • Lexical Scoping & TDZ: Built block-level scoping context stacks. Variables declared with let/const now enforce Temporal Dead Zone checks and const reassignment prevention.
  • Loop Closures: Enabled loop iteration-specific contexts to ensure nested callback closures capture correct iteration snapshots.
  • Optional Chaining & Coalescing: Integrated runtime optional chaining short-circuit evaluation and strict logical nullish check defaults.
  • Type Semantics: Introduced jsUndefined (mapping out-of-bounds list accesses to JavaScript undefined rather than Dart null). Exposed Dart methods as closures to support callback references.
  • Promises & Async/Await: Implemented async function execution wrapping using native Dart Future conversions.
  • Global Polyfills: Added Promise.all/allSettled/race/any/finally, Array.from/of, and Object.fromEntries/hasOwn/getOwnPropertyNames.

3. Package Documentation

  • Added packages/parsejs_null_safety/doc/parser_design.md (covers lexing, grammar hierarchy, visitor traversal, and scope resolution design).
  • Added packages/ensemble_ts_interpreter/doc/architecture.md (covers block-scoped context engines, type marshaling, invokable schemas, async loops, and polyfills).

How to Test

  1. Bootstrapped the monorepo packages:
    melos bootstrap
  2. Ran unit tests for the parser:
    cd packages/parsejs_null_safety
    flutter test
    (41 tests pass successfully)
  3. Ran unit tests for the runtime interpreter:
    cd packages/ensemble_ts_interpreter
    flutter test
    (319 tests pass successfully)

…arser

- Introduced support for various ES6 features including `let`, `const`, template literals, destructuring, and arrow functions.
- Added new methods for Promises such as `all`, `allSettled`, `race`, and `any`.
- Improved error handling and added detailed error messages for parsing issues.
- Updated documentation to reflect new features and compatibility improvements.
- Added comprehensive tests for ES6 features to ensure functionality and reliability.
