Module reference

Variable reference parsing for the AIMX language.

This module provides the core functionality for parsing variable references in AIMX expressions. References are used to access values from the evaluation context and can represent simple identifiers or chained property accessors.

Reference Types

• Simple Identifiers: Single variable names like variable or $inference
• Chained Accessors: Dot-separated references like object.property or object.property.method
• Inference Calls: References prefixed with $ that are used for AI inference

Examples

use aimx::expressions::reference::{Reference, parse_reference};

// Parse simple identifier
let (_, reference) = parse_reference("variable").unwrap();
assert_eq!(reference.to_string(), "variable");

// Parse chained property access
let (_, reference) = parse_reference("object.property").unwrap();
assert_eq!(reference.to_string(), "object.property");

// Parse inference call (note the $ is stripped during parsing)
let (_, reference) = parse_reference("$workflow.inference").unwrap();
assert_eq!(reference.to_string(), "workflow.inference");
