REFAL Transpiler to JavaScript is a tool that converts REFAL, a functional programming language with pattern matching, into JavaScript. Version 1.0.0 provides a command-line interface and programmatic API. Unlike general transpilers, it is specialized for REFAL and aims to make REFAL accessible in JavaScript environments. The project is minimal and early stage, with no regular release cadence.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

transpile

✓ const { transpile } = require('./src/index.js');

✗ import { transpile } from 'refal';

The package is not published on npm and must be required locally.

transpile

✓ const { transpile } = require('./src/index.js');

✗ const transpile = require('./src/index.js');

Export is named, not default.

transpile (default)

✓ const transpile = require('./src/index.js').transpile;

✗ const transpile = require('./src/index.js'); transpile(refalCode);

If using default import, it fails because no default export.

Transpiles a simple REFAL program that prints Hello World to JavaScript and logs the result.

const { transpile } = require('./src/index.js'); const refalCode = ` $ENTRY Go { = <Hello>; } Hello { = 'Hello, World!'; } `; const jsCode = transpile(refalCode); console.log(jsCode);
