Querylet

Querylet is a templating language for SQL and is designed to make writing raw SQL much easier.

SELECT
  questions.id,
  questions.uuid,
  questions.question_html as question,
  questions.target_type as kind,
  {{#object}}
  SELECT
    case_study_questions.menu,
    case_study_questions.questions_pool_size,

    CASE {{str sub_question_type}}
    WHEN 'MultiChoiceQuestion' THEN
      {{> object 'questions.multiple_choice' id='{{sub_question_id}}' }} as question
    WHEN 'MultiSelectQuestion' THEN
      {{> object 'questions.multiple_select' id='{{sub_question_id}}' }} as question
    END,

    {{#array}}
      SELECT
        que.id,
        que.uuid,
        que.target_type as kind,
        choices.comment,
        choices.flagged,
        choices.choice_value as answered,
        multiple_select_questions.answers_count
      FROM ts_admin_que.questions que
      LEFT JOIN public.choices ON choices.question_id = que.id AND choices.attempt_id = {{id}}
      LEFT JOIN ts_admin_que.multiple_select_questions ON multiple_select_questions.id = que.target_id AND que.target_type = 'MultipleSelectQuestion'
      WHERE
        que.id = ANY(case_study_questions.question_ids)
    {{/array}} as questions
  {{/object}} as case_study
FROM ts_admin_que.questions
LEFT JOIN ts_admin_que.case_study_questions ON case_study_questions.question_id = questions.id
WHERE

Parset Slice

str('Boston').parse('Boston') #=> "Boston"@0

The @0 is the offset

Parset Debugging

If the parser.rb runs into errors you can add the following to help debug what is happening

require 'parslet/convenience'
parser.parse_with_debug(input)

How it works:

• parser.rb — Create a grammar: What should be legal syntax?
• transform.rb — Annotate the grammar: What is important data?
• tree.rb - Create a transformation: How do I want to work with that data?

Parser

To see all the define rules check out parser_spec.rb

bundle exec rspec spec/parser_spec.rb

Transform

You capture patterns in your deep nested hash and the pass to a tree

Tree

The tree does something with your captured patterns
