Solidity Code to ANSI for Discord

Discord doesn't recognize the solidity syntax language. But it does allow ansi: https://gist.github.com/kkrypt0nn/a02506f3712ff2d1c8ca7c9e0aed7c06

Solution is to parse the code to AST, colorize, and output.

Install and Usage

Node > v18.16.0.

1. yarn install

Depending on your os it's gonna use pbcopy or xsel to get it directly into the clipboard. through https://github.com/sindresorhus/clipboardy

2. Copy the snippet you want to the clipboard
3. ./toDiscordAnsi.mjs
4. Paste into discord

Also supports passing a file input as 2nd param

node toDiscordAnsi.mjs snippet.sol

Bonus

Add it as an alias and forget

alias toDiscordAnsi="node {FULL_PATH_TO}/toDiscordAnsi.mjs"

Palette Configuration

Colors are defined in highlighter.mjs

const colorsMap = {
    keyword: colors.fg.blue,
    type: colors.fg.cyan,
    string: colors.fg.yellow,
    identifier: colors.fg.white,
    number: colors.fg.blue,
    operator: colors.fg.white,
    // ...
};

TODO

• Global yarn package
• Finish definitions from node_modules/@solidity-parser/parser/dist/src/ast-types.d.ts

Other ways to solve it

Maybe using something like Vscode TextMate language from https://github.com/tintinweb/vscode-solidity-language/blob/master/src/syntaxes/solidity.tmLanguage.json + https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-textmate
