The |plugins| option allows users to use plugins that change how PEG.js
operates.
A plugin is any JavaScript object with a |use| method. After the user
calls |PEG.buildParser|, this method is called for each plugin with the
following two parameters:
* PEG.js config that describes used grammar parser and compiler
passes used to generate the parser
* options passed by user to |PEG.buildParser|
The plugin is expected to change the config as needed, possibly based on
the options passed by user. It can e.g. change the used grammar parser,
change the compiler passes (including adding its own), etc. This way it
can extend PEG.js in a flexible way.
Implements part of GH-106.
The |passes| parameter will allow to pass the list of passes from
|PEG.buildParser|. This will be used by plugins. The old way via setting
the |appliedPassNames| property is removed.
Implements part of GH-106.
Includes:
* Moving the source code from /src to /lib.
* Adding an explicit file list to package.json
* Updating the Makefile.
* Updating the spec and benchmark suites and their READMEs.
Part of a fix for GH-32.
