what could this be used for ?

• ask on AHK Community!!
  
• I made this to convert {} to Map() AUTOMATICALLY (no cost too great?)
  then, convert v1 -> AHK_H v2 (WinClip, Biga.ahk)
• issues on vscode-autohotkey-plus-plus
  
  • auto format (indentation)
  • how does a debugger work ?
• Make a website so it could be used online (github.io ?) (your code is not sent nor stolen: just disconnect internet and you'll see that it still works)
  • {} -> Map()
  • offer to download .js CLI (.js "inputPath" "outputPath")
• what should I convert next ? (silent voice: ahk_explorer.. I'm scared of Gui, ) any suggestions ?

how this works

I break the parser then I fix it.
if you manage to break the parser, congrats!
just please github issue (no need for context, just paste the v1 code that broke it)

I have learned to use a debugger!!! really cool

how to get started

edit src/convertTov2.ts then run yarn convertTov2
the converted will be in ./reconstructed.ah2

examples of what I converted are in ./tov2/

not AST.. but array of objects will be in everything.txt
typescript definition:

{
  type: string, //'String', 'Integer', everything...
  text?: string,
  i1?: number, //line start (0-based so first line is 0)
  c1?: number, //column start
  c2?: number, //column end (I omit this if text is 1 char)
  i2?: number, //line end (I omit this if text is on 1 line)
}[]

what is really looks like:

[
{type:'class', text:'class', i1:0, c1:0, c2:5},
{type:'emptyLines', text:' ', i1:0, c1:5, i2:0, c2:6},
{type:'className', text:'biga', i1:0, c1:6, c2:10},
{type:'emptyLines', text:' ', i1:0, c1:10, i2:0, c2:11},
{type:'{ class', text:'{', i1:0, c1:11},
{type:'emptyLines', text:'

	; --- Static Variables ---
	', i1:0, c1:12, i2:3, c2:1},
{type:'global local or static{ws}', text:'static', i1:3, c1:1, c2:7},
{type:'emptyLines', text:' ', i1:3, c1:7, i2:3, c2:8},
{type:'v1String findIdkVar', text:'throwExceptions', i1:3, c1:8, c2:23},
{type:'emptyLines', text:' ', i1:3, c1:23, i2:3, c2:24},
{type:'2operator', text:':=', i1:3, c1:24, c2:26},
