urbit-hob
Utilities for phonetic base wrangling.
What
Here you can primarily find functions for dealing with the "patp" and "patq"
phonetic bases used by Urbit. The @p encoding is used for naming ships,
whereas the @q encoding is used for arbitrary data; they both uniquely
represent nonnegative integers (i.e. atoms) in a memorable and pronounceable
fashion.
The @p encoding is an obfuscated representation of an underlying atom, in
particular, hence the 'ob' in the library's name.
Usage
The library exposes two families of functions, patp and fromPatp, and then
patq and fromPatq, for converting between representations appropriately.
You can render {patp, patq} values via the render{Patp, Patq} functions,
and parse them from Text via parse{Patp, Patq} respectively.
The useful clan and sein functions, for determining a ship's class and
(default) parent, are also exposed.
Here are some quick examples:
> :set -XOverloadedStrings
> import qualified Urbit.Ob as Ob
> let nidsut = Ob.patp 15663360
> let marzod = Ob.patq (Ob.fromPatp nidsut)
> Ob.renderPatp nidsut
"~nidsut-tomdun"
> Ob.renderPatq marzod
"~mun-marzod"
> Ob.fromPatp nidsut
15663360
> Ob.parsePatp "~nidsut-tomdun"
Right ~nidsut-tomdun
> Ob.clan nidsut
Planet
> Ob.sein nidsut
~marzod
