SearchExpressionContext

Description

This context encapsulate all the datas needed to evaluate a SearchExpression and it allows user to interact with the evaluation runtime of an expression. A SearchExpressionContext is created automatically with a SearchExpressionRuntime anytime SearchExpression.Execute is called.

Here is an example showing ow the SearchExpressionContext is used during evaluation:

[SearchExpressionEvaluator(SearchExpressionType.Iterable | SearchExpressionType.Variadic)]
[SearchExpressionEvaluatorSignatureOverload(SearchExpressionType.Number, SearchExpressionType.Iterable | SearchExpressionType.Variadic)]
[Description("Extract and returns the X first results for each expression.")]
public static IEnumerable<SearchItem> TakeXFirst(SearchExpressionContext c)
{
    var argIndex = 0;
    var takeNumber = 1;
    if (c.args[0].types.HasFlag(SearchExpressionType.Number))
    {
        ++argIndex;
        takeNumber = Math.Max((int)(c.args[0].GetNumberValue(takeNumber)), 0);
    }

    for ( ; argIndex < c.args.Length; ++argIndex)
    {
        var iterable = c.args[argIndex].Execute(c);
        var taken = 0;
        foreach (var item in iterable)
        {
            if (item == null)
                yield return null;
            else
            {
                yield return item;
                ++taken;
                if (taken == takeNumber)
                {
                    c.Break();
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
