Members

Root-level constructs in a script file.

Members are root-level constructs in a script file, with no indentation before them.

Almost all members will contain some indented children (known as entries.)

Some members are known as absolute if they have no variable data in their syntax. An example of this would be the on load: event, which has no alterations.

The opposite of this is a variable member, which can have some level of configuration. An example of this would be a function function my_function(parameter): which has a variable label and set of parameters.

Variable members will very rarely accept any kind of non-literal in their syntax, since this may not be available at load-time and so could not be properly defined.

Members with lazy-loading are an exception to this rule.

Compilation

Almost all members will be compiled to a method.

Some of the member's meta-data will be added to this in the form of annotations, or stored within the Script object that holds information about it.

All compiled member structures must inherit the @SourceData annotation, containing their source line and time of compilation.

Examples

function my_function:
    trigger:
        print "hello"

on load:
    trigger:
        print "This script is loaded."
