NAME

       sdml view - View formatted module source.

SYNOPSIS

       sdml view [OPTIONS] [MODULE]

DESCRIPTION

       View formatted module source.

       This  command will generate source code from a module file, which at first seems redundant. However, this
       view provides levels of detail that allow for an overview of module definitions. The  `--level`  argument
       can be used to elide content and get an overview of a module.

       -  Definitions  (default) :: Show only the definitions in the module, any definition body will be elided,
       for an overview of the module contents. Elided definitions are followed by `";; ..."`.

       ```text   ???   sdml    view    --level    definitions    -i    examples/example.sdm    module    example
       <https://example.com/api> is

       import [ dc xsd ]

       datatype Uuid <- sdml:string ;; ...

       entity Example ;; ...

       end ```

       -  Members  ::  Show  definitions in the module and show the members of product types and variants of sum
       types but not their bodies if present.

       ```text ??? sdml view --level members -i examples/example.sdm module example <https://example.com/api> is

       import [ dc xsd ]

       datatype Uuid <- sdml:string ;; ...

       entity Example is version -> Uuid name -> sdml:string ;; ... end

       end ```

       - Full :: Show all contents of the module.

       ```text ??? sdml view --level full -i examples/example.sdm module example <https://example.com/api> is

       import [ dc xsd ]

       datatype Uuid <- sdml:string is @xsd:pattern = "[0-9a-f]{8}-([0-9a-f]{4}-){3}[0-9a-f]{12}" end

       entity Example is version -> Uuid name -> sdml:string is @dc:description = "the name  of  this  thing"@en
       end end

       end ```

       Indentation level can also be specified, although the default remains 2 spaces.

   Arguments:
              [MODULE]
