nf_parser 0.0.1

parse and inspect nextflow DSL scripts to pythonic structures and more.

nf-parser

Parse and inspect Nextflow DSL scripts to extract information from Nextflow workflows, processes, channels, and more.

Features

• DSL Parsing: Parse Nextflow DSL scripts to extract structured information.
• Workflow Analysis: Retrieve details about workflows, processes, channels, and other components.
• Channel Operators: Parse and understand Nextflow channel operators for further analysis.
• DAG Generation: Generate a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of the workflow for visualization and analysis.
• Syntax Validation: Validate Nextflow syntax to catch errors early in the development process.

Installation

pip install nf-parser

Dependecies

• python >=3.9
• lark

Usage

from nf_parser import NextflowParser

# Example usage
script = """
workflow example {
    input:
    path data

    script:
    """
    cat ${data} > output.txt
    """
}
"""

# Parse the script
parser = NextflowParser()
parsed_data = parser.parse(script)

# Access parsed information
workflow_name = parsed_data["workflows"][0]["name"]
print(f"Workflow Name: {workflow_name}")

# Generate a DAG
dag = NextflowDAG(parsed_data)
dag.generate_dag()
dag.visualize_dag("workflow_dag.png")

# Validate syntax
is_valid_syntax = parser.validate_syntax(script)
print(f"Is Syntax Valid: {is_valid_syntax}")
