Treeflection Command Manual

Syntax

Must have an action. May optionally be preceded by any number of accessors

Access property

Dot notation is used to access the properties of structs and enum structs:

foo.bar.baz

Access value by index/key

Index notation is used to access the properties of Vec, HashMap, tuples and tuple enums

• property["key_string"] select by key
• property[0] select by index
• property[?] select based on context
• property[*] select all

Actions

Each struct/primitive has its own set of actions available. However there are some actions that you will find on every type:

• :help - Use this to find properties and actions a node has.
• :set <value> - set the property to the specified json input
• :get - display the attribute in json

Context

The ContextVec struct (and other Context* structs) allow you to set indexes as the context. When the context accessor '[?]' is used on that struct it accesses the current context.

Examples

A super simple command to get help for the root node. :help

A command to set an int in a Vec in a struct in another struct in a Hashmap to the value 50 looks like: someHashMap["key"].someChild.anotherChild[0]:set 50
