This module defines the syntax of the Lake DSL. The syntax is defined separately from the elaborator and/or macro definitions to allow clients to import it without crashing Lean. In particular, this allows the reference manual to document the DSL syntax.

def Lake.DSL.nameConst : Lean.ParserDescr

A macro that expands to the assigned name of package during the Lakefile's elaboration.

def Lake.DSL.dirConst : Lean.ParserDescr

A macro that expands to the path of package's directory during the Lakefile's elaboration.

def Lake.DSL.getConfig : Lean.ParserDescr

A macro that expands to the specified configuration option (or none, if the option has not been set) during the Lakefile's elaboration.

Configuration arguments are set either via the Lake CLI (by the -K option) or via the with clause in a require statement.

Package Declarations

DSL syntax definitions for packages and hooks.

def Lake.DSL.packageCommand : Lean.ParserDescr

Defines the configuration of a Lake package. Has many forms:

package «pkg-name»
package «pkg-name» { /- config opts -/ }
package «pkg-name» where /- config opts -/

There can only be one package declaration per Lake configuration file. The defined package configuration will be available for reference as _package.

abbrev Lake.DSL.PackageCommand : Type

package «pkg-name»
package «pkg-name» { /- config opts -/ }
package «pkg-name» where /- config opts -/

There can only be one package declaration per Lake configuration file. The defined package configuration will be available for reference as _package.

def Lake.DSL.postUpdateDecl : Lean.ParserDescr

Declare a post-lake update hook for the package. Runs the monadic action is after a successful lake update execution in this package or one of its downstream dependents.

Example

This feature enables Mathlib to synchronize the Lean toolchain and run cache get after a lake update:

lean_exe cache
post_update pkg do
  let wsToolchainFile := (← getRootPackage).dir / "lean-toolchain"
  let mathlibToolchain ← IO.FS.readFile <| pkg.dir / "lean-toolchain"
  IO.FS.writeFile wsToolchainFile mathlibToolchain
  let exeFile ← runBuild cache.fetch
  let exitCode ← env exeFile.toString #["get"]
  if exitCode ≠ 0 then
    error s!"{pkg.name}: failed to fetch cache"

The require syntax

This is the require DSL syntax used to specify package dependencies.

def Lake.DSL.fromPath : Lean.ParserDescr

def Lake.DSL.fromGit : Lean.ParserDescr

def Lake.DSL.fromSource : Lean.ParserDescr

def Lake.DSL.fromClause : Lean.ParserDescr

Specifies a specific source from which to draw the package dependency. Dependencies that are downloaded from a remote source will be placed into the workspace's packagesDir.

Path Dependencies

from <path>

Lake loads the package located at a fixed path relative to the requiring package's directory.

Git Dependencies

from git <url> [@ <rev>] [/ <subDir>]

Lake clones the Git repository available at the specified fixed Git url, and checks out the specified revision rev. The revision can be a commit hash, branch, or tag. If none is provided, Lake defaults to master. After checkout, Lake loads the package located in subDir (or the repository root if no subdirectory is specified).

def Lake.DSL.withClause : Lean.ParserDescr

def Lake.DSL.verSpec : Lean.ParserDescr

def Lake.DSL.verClause : Lean.ParserDescr

The version of the package to require. To specify a Git revision, use the syntax @ git <rev>.

def Lake.DSL.depName : Lean.ParserDescr

def Lake.DSL.depSpec : Lean.ParserDescr

def Lake.DSL.requireDecl : Lean.ParserDescr

Adds a new package dependency to the workspace. The general syntax is:

require ["<scope>" /] <pkg-name> [@ <version>]
  [from <source>] [with <options>]

The from clause tells Lake where to locate the dependency. See the fromClause syntax documentation (e.g., hover over it) to see the different forms this clause can take.

Without a from clause, Lake will lookup the package in the default registry (i.e., Reservoir) and use the information there to download the package at the requested version. The scope is used to disambiguate between packages in the registry with the same pkg-name. In Reservoir, this scope is the package owner (e.g., leanprover of @leanprover/doc-gen4).

The with clause specifies a NameMap String of Lake options used to configure the dependency. This is equivalent to passing -K options to the dependency on the command line.

DSL for Targets & Facets

Syntax for declaring Lake targets and facets.

  /- build term of type `FetchM (Job α)` -/

The mod parameter (and its type specifier) is optional.

def Lake.DSL.packageFacetDecl : Lean.ParserDescr

Define a new package facet. Has one form:

package_facet «facet-name» (pkg : Package) : α :=
  /- build term of type `FetchM (Job α)` -/

The pkg parameter (and its type specifier) is optional.

def Lake.DSL.libraryFacetDecl : Lean.ParserDescr

Define a new library facet. Has one form:

library_facet «facet-name» (lib : LeanLib) : α :=
  /- build term of type `FetchM (Job α)` -/

The lib parameter (and its type specifier) is optional.

Custom Target Declaration

def Lake.DSL.targetCommand : Lean.ParserDescr

Define a new custom target for the package. Has one form:

target «target-name» (pkg : NPackage _package.name) : α :=
  /- build term of type `FetchM (Job α)` -/

The pkg parameter (and its type specifier) is optional. It is of type NPackage _package.name to provably demonstrate the package provided is the package in which the target is defined.

Version Literals

DSL for Build Key

Elaboration-Time Control Flow

Syntax for elaboration time control flow.

def Lake.DSL.cmdDo : Lean.ParserDescr

The do command syntax groups multiple similarly indented commands together. The group can then be passed to another command that usually only accepts a single command (e.g., meta if).

def Lake.DSL.metaIf : Lean.ParserDescr

The meta if command has two forms:

meta if <c:term> then <a:command>
meta if <c:term> then <a:command> else <b:command>

It expands to the command a if the term c evaluates to true (at elaboration time). Otherwise, it expands to command b (if an else clause is provided).

One can use this command to specify, for example, external library targets only available on specific platforms:

meta if System.Platform.isWindows then
extern_lib winOnlyLib := ...
else meta if System.Platform.isOSX then
extern_lib macOnlyLib := ...
else
extern_lib linuxOnlyLib := ...

def Lake.DSL.runIO : Lean.ParserDescr

Executes a term of type IO α at elaboration-time and produces an expression corresponding to the result via ToExpr α.
