sepBy1 ​

sepBy1 combinator parses one or more occurrences of parser, separated by sep. Returns a list of values (without separator) returned by parser. Otherwise returns an error produced by parser. A committed failure from parser or sep propagates instead of ending the loop, and the cursor rewinds to where the combinator started.

A sep that isn't followed by a value is rewound too, so a trailing separator is left unconsumed.

Usage ​

ts
const Parser = sepBy1(whole(), string('+'))

Success

ts
run(Parser).with('1+2+3+4')

{
  isOk: true,
  start: 0,
  end: 7,
  pos: 7,
  value: [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
}

ts
run(Parser).with('1-two')

{
  isOk: true,
  start: 0,
  end: 1,
  pos: 1,
  value: [ 1 ]
}

Failure

ts
run(Parser).with('one+two')

{
  isOk: false,
  start: 0,
  end: 0,
  pos: 0,
  expected: 'whole number'
}
