š Quick Start
Parse a Spectral File
import { Parser } from "@aexol/ouro/spectral";
const source = await Deno.readTextFile("system.spectral");
const ast = new Parser(source).parse();
Validate
import { Validator } from "@aexol/ouro/spectral";
const validator = new Validator(ast);
const result = validator.validate();
if (!result.isValid) {
console.error("Errors:", result.errors);
}
Generate Code
import { CodeGenerator } from "@aexol/ouro/spectral";
const generator = new CodeGenerator(ast, { language: "typescript" });
const code = generator.generate();
console.log(code);
CLI Usage
# Parse
deno run -A src/commands/spectral.ts parse --input system.spectral
# Validate
deno run -A src/commands/spectral.ts validate --input system.spectral
# Generate TypeScript
deno run -A src/commands/spectral.ts generate \
--input system.spectral \
--language typescript \
--output generated.ts
# Generate documentation
deno run -A src/commands/spectral.ts docs \
--input system.spectral \
--output system.md
š Language Example
Input: system.spectral
# Define types
type Document {
id: string
title: string
status: DocumentStatus
}
enum DocumentStatus {
draft
review
published
}
# Define roles
role Editor {
permission documents {
create,
read,
update,
delete
}
}
# Define workflows
workflow Publishing {
state draft -> review
state review -> published
state published -> archived
}
# Define agents
agent ContentProcessor: Editor {
can fetch document
can validate content
can publish document if approved
}
# Define visitor patterns
visitor {
can manage documents {
can create document
can view documents
can edit document if owner
can delete document if owner
}
}
Output: Generated TypeScript
// Auto-generated from Spectral language
export type Document = {
id: string;
title: string;
status: DocumentStatus;
};
export enum DocumentStatus {
draft = "draft",
review = "review",
published = "published",
}
export class EditorRole {
static readonly permissions = {
documents: ['create', 'read', 'update', 'delete'],
};
}
export class ContentProcessorAgent {
role: string = 'Editor';
canFetchDocument(): boolean {
// TODO: Implement fetch document
return true;
}
canValidateContent(): boolean {
// TODO: Implement validate content
return true;
}
canPublishDocument(): boolean {
// TODO: Implement publish document
return true;
}
}
