# HLDS data format
HLDS is the Haldis Language for Describing Servings. It defines the menu you see when ordering in
Haldis.
There is syntax highlighting support for editors in `etc/` in the Haldis repository.
## Indentation
Indentation requires hard **tabs**. Spaces will not work.
## Identifiers
2020-02-29 00:07:19 +01:00
You must choose an identifier for each location, dish, choice, option and tag. Identifiers may
consist of numbers, hyphens, underscores and lowercase letters of the alphabet (a through z).

2020-02-29 00:07:19 +01:00
* Allowed: `0-my_identifier`
* Disallowed: ~~`0 My Identifié`~~

## Locations
2020-02-29 00:07:19 +01:00
A HLDS file consists of one or more locations. Each location starts with a header, which is enclosed
2020-02-24 21:05:15 +01:00
in "fences" of at least three equal signs. The first line of the header contains the ID and name of
the location. Further lines contain the metadata of the location, such as the phone number and
OpenStreetMap element. In the future, the phone number and such will be fetched from OpenStreetMap.

## Dishes
A location consists of dishes. Spaces can be used to align the elements of your dish (but that's
not required).
```hlds
dish cheeseburger: Cheeseburger € 2.9
dish assortment: Twijfelaar € 3
```
## Inline choices
Dishes can contain choices. There are two types:
* `single_choice` is a required choice where the user must choose one option.
* `multi_choice` is an optional choice where the user can choose zero or more options.
```hlds
dish fries: Frietjes
single_choice size: Formaat
extra_small: Extra small € 1.8
small: Small € 2
medium: Medium € 2.5
large: Large € 3.3
multi_choice sauce: Saus
ketchup: Ketchup € 1.4
mayo: Mayonaise € 1.4
bicky: Bickysaus € 1.4
stew: Stoofvleessaus € 1.9
```
## Common choices
Choices that are used more than once, can be declared once and referenced in multiple dishes.
```hlds
bami_nasi: Bami of nasi
bami: Bami
nasi: Nasi
dish wok3: Studentenwok 3 kip bami/nasi zonder saus € 6
single_choice bami_nasi
dish wok5: Studentenwok 5 babi pangang € 6
single_choice bami_nasi
```
## Descriptions
You can add descriptions to dishes, choices and options. Separate name and description with ` -- `.
```hlds
dish dishid: Name -- This is a description € 3
```
## Tags
2020-02-29 00:07:19 +01:00
**Note:** Only the `{no_text}` tag is supported at this moment. You can ignore other tags for now.
2020-02-24 21:05:15 +01:00
You can add tags after ` :: `. Tags are `{identifier}`. You can use tags to attach more information
about a dish or option in a structured way. For example: `{has_meat}` signals to vegetarians that
they should avoid this.
The order is always id, name, description, tags, price (not all have to be present of course).
```hlds
dish dishid: Name -- This is a description :: {has_meat} € 3
```
2020-02-29 00:07:19 +01:00
The `{no_text}` tag signals that an option is not to be shown in a dish's description. This is
useful for choices that have a default that needs not be read when ordering.
```hlds
veggie: Vegetarische opties
meat: Niet vegetarisch :: {has_meat} {no_text}
tofu: Vegetarisch met tofu
falafel: Vegetarisch met falafel
vegan: Veganistisch
```
