Function: resolveQuirk()

resolveQuirk(registry, format, name): QuirkDescriptor

Resolve a requested quirk name against a format's registry, or fail closed. A quirk the format's profile system does not support is a fatal SYNTH_UNSUPPORTED_QUIRK - never a silent no-op and never a fabricated quirk with a made-up warning.

The refusal names neither the request nor the registry. registry, format and name are all caller-supplied, and a diagnostic that quotes its input is a diagnostic that can be made to carry anything the caller was holding - which for a fixture generator wired into someone else's pipeline is not a hypothetical. Branch on err.code; the supported set is the registry you passed (HL7_QUIRKS, CCDA_QUIRKS, ASTM_QUIRKS), which you can enumerate directly.

Parameters

registry

Readonly<Record<string, QuirkDescriptor>>

The format's quirk descriptors, keyed by name.

format

SynthFormat

The format being generated.

name

string

The requested quirk name.

Returns

QuirkDescriptor

The matching QuirkDescriptor.

Throws

SynthError with code SYNTH_UNSUPPORTED_QUIRK when name is not a supported quirk.

Example

import { resolveQuirk } from "@cosyte/synth";
import { HL7_QUIRKS } from "@cosyte/synth/hl7";
resolveQuirk(HL7_QUIRKS, "hl7v2", "unknown-zsegment").intendedWarnings; // ["UNKNOWN_SEGMENT"]
