ichar

ichar(c: string, m?: string): Parser

Parses the character c or its opposite case equivalent. In other words, this is a case-insensitive version of char.

Example

const parser = ichar('a')

const s = parse(parser, 'ABC')
console.log(status(s))  // "ok"
console.log(success(s)) // "A"

const f = parse(parser, 'BCD')
console.log(status(f))  // "fail"
console.log(failure(f)) // Parse error at (line 1, column 1):
                        //
                        // BCD
                        // ^
                        // Expected 'a'

Parameters

• c: The character that the next input character must be (of any case) in order to succeed.
• m: The optional expected error message that will take the place of the default error message.

Success

• Succeeds if the next input character is either c or its opposite case counterpart. Consumes and returns that character.

Failure

• Fails if the next input character is any other character.

Throws

• Throws an error if c is not a string or if it isn't exactly one character in length.
• Throws an error if m exists and is not a string.
