Tasks

•   source

  The source string being tokenized by this lexer. Note that setting this value resets the lexer state

  property
•   delegate

  A delegate to call when various events occur within the lexer

  property
• – initWithString:

  Initializer a new instance with the specified source value

• – nextLexeme

  Return the next lexeme in the source string from where the last lex ended. This will return nil once the source string has been completed consumed.

• – pushLexeme:

  Push the specified lexeme onto internal stack. Lexemes will first be removed from this stack when calling nextLexeme. Once the stack has been depleted, lexing continues from the last successful scan not involving the lexeme stack.

• – increaseNesting

  This lexer returns different lexemes for the same source depending on if the lexer is inside or outside of a delcaration body. This method allows code to indicate that lexing should proceed as if the lexer is inside a block. This is typically used when processing styles that are associated directly with a styleable object as opposed to coming from a stylesheet.

• – decreaseNesting

  This is the complementary method to increaseNesting. This is used to indicate that a block has been completely lexed.

• – pushSource:

  Save the current context of the lexer, re-initialize the lexer, and begin lexing the specified source. This is useful for handling “import” statements, where another file needs to be processed inline with the current file being processed
