Description

This umbrella is part of our efforts to implementing a Grit runtime.

The first goal of this issue is to get to a point where biome search can make use of the bindings. Not all subtasks necessarily need to be completed to get to that point, though most probably will. We can always continue working on the remaining tasks in parallel to other plugin-related efforts.

Feature status

Apart from the bindings, we can also identify which features still need implementation:

• ✅ Integrate Biome parsers into Grit bindings (only JS/TS, JSON, and CSS so far)
• ✅ Compile Grit CST to patterns
• ✅ Implement matching engine
• ✅ Implement variables and scopes: feat(grit): implement variable matching #3575
• ⚠️ Comment support
  • Some parts are implemented as part of the bindings, but exact coverage is unclear.
• ✅ Pattern, predicate and function definitions: feat(grit): support for Grit pattern, predicate and function definitions #3983
• ✅ Auto-wrapping patterns
• ✅ Rewrites, using the => operator
• ✅ Leaf node normalization: fix(grit): leaf node normalization #3448
• ⚠️ Implement built-in Grit functions
  • Note that Biome doesn't support JS functions inside GritQL
• 🚫 Suppressions
  • Grit has its own implementation for suppressions: https://docs.grit.io/guides/config#inline-suppression We probably want to do something that works with Biome's suppression system instead.
• 🚫 multifile pattern handling
• 🚫 sequential pattern handling
• 🚫 Snippet alignment and padding
• 🚫 Compatibility with the Grit pattern library

Funding

To support this effort, please consider sponsoring Biome within our Open Collective or GitHub sponsorship.

We decide not to fund this issue with Polar.sh because it is a long term effort. Polar.sh is designed for short and medium term efforts. It sets a deadline of 6 months to complete a task.
