L0174

L0174 is a Graffiticode dialect — the first child of @graffiticode/l0000. It inherits L0000's base functional vocabulary (arithmetic, lists, lambdas, map/filter/reduce, pattern matching, tags) and adds a small set of UI primitives for rendering hello greetings, images, and themed output.

Vocabulary

L0174 adds the following on top of the L0000 base lexicon:

Function	Arity	Example	Description
hello	1	hello "world"..	Renders hello, world!
image	1	image "https://example.com/photo.jpg"..	Renders an image at the given URL
theme	2	theme DARK hello "world"..	Wraps a UI expression in a theme (DARK or LIGHT) with a toggle
id	2	id "tag" expr..	Tags an expression with a stable identifier

See packages/core/spec/ for the full language specification, examples, and authoring guide.

Structure

This is an npm workspaces monorepo with three packages:

• packages/core — @graffiticode/l0174: the language itself (lexicon, checker, transformer). Pure TypeScript, depends on @graffiticode/l0000.
• packages/api — @graffiticode/api-l0174: the L0174 language server. Express app exposing /compile, /form, and static assets. Runs on port 50174.
• packages/view — @graffiticode/l0174-view: the React view component (Form) used to render compiled output. Built with Vite + Tailwind, layered on top of @graffiticode/l0000-view.

The top-level build composes all three: core and view are built and bundled into packages/api/static/, which the API serves.

Getting started

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build everything (core → api → view → static bundle)
npm run build

# Start the dev server (API on :50174, Firestore emulator on :8080)
npm run dev

Other useful scripts:

• npm run lint — lint the whole monorepo
• npm run pack — build and pack the view package for distribution
• npm run gcp:build / npm run gcp:deploy — deploy to Cloud Run

Environment

• PORT — API port (default 50174)
• AUTH_URL — auth service URL (default https://auth.graffiticode.org; dev uses http://127.0.0.1:4100)
• FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST — local Firestore emulator (dev: 127.0.0.1:8080)
• NODE_ENV — development or production
