I cannot implement variable support

Question

I am trying to implement 'variable declaration future' to my parsed language.

PEG.js source:

start
=begin line (pl)+ end
pl
=varx" " left:identifier" "to" "middle:integer line { left=middle;} 
/ 
print"(" middle:identifier ")" line {alert(middle);}

line
="\n"
begin
="start"
print
="print"
if
="if"
equals
="equals"
gth
="greater than"
identifier
=[a-zA-Z]+ {return text();}
to
="to"
varx
="set"
end
="end"
integer "integer"
= digits:[0-9]+ { return Number(parseInt(digits.join(""), 10)); }

My custom input source:

start
set a to 5
print(a)
end

What output I got:

[
"start",
"
",
[
    undefined,
    undefined
],
"end"
]

And as alert I got only the variable name a no the value...

You only alert the identifier; you're not handling variable storage at all. — Dave Newton, Oct 20 '21 at 16:24

try this

all
  = "start" nl _ ptp:putThenPrint+ _ "end"
  {
    var all = [];
    ptp.forEach(it => {
        all.push(it);
    });
    var r = []
    all.forEach(tp => {
      tp.toPrint.forEach(p => {
        r.push(tp.values[p])
      });
    });
    return "\n" + r.join("\n") + "\n";
  }
  
putThenPrint
  = _ mn:multiPutN _ pn:multiPrintN _ 
  {
    return {values:mn,toPrint:pn};
  }

multiPrintN
  = _ mp:printN+ _ 
  {
    var r = [];
    mp.forEach(it => {
        r.push(it);
    });
    return r;
  }

multiPutN
  = _ mp:putN+ _ 
  {
    var r = {};
    mp.forEach(it => {
        r[it[0]]=it[1];
    });
    return r;
  }
  
putN
  = _ "set " _ vn:varName _ "to " _ vv:n _ nl+ { return [vn, vv]}

printN
  = _ "print(" _ n:varName _ ")" _ nl+ {return n;}
  
varName
  = [a-zA-Z]+ {return text();}
  
n "integer number"
  = _ [0-9]+ { return parseInt(text(), 10); }
  
nl "new line"
  = [\n]

_ "whitespace"
  = [ \t]*

this grammar does not support "if" and some other things you are trying to do in your grammar but it will give you a start up idea. You need to elaborate more of what you want in text with more example and expected output
