## Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
npm install is-expression
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
### `isExpression(src[, options])`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Validates a string as a JavaScript expression.
|
||
|
|
||
|
`src` contains the source.
|
||
|
|
||
|
`options` can contain any Acorn options (since we use Acorn under-the-hood),
|
||
|
or any of the following:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `throw`: Throw an error if the string is not an expression. The error can
|
||
|
be an Acorn error, with location information in `err.loc` and `err.pos`.
|
||
|
Defaults to `false`.
|
||
|
- `strict`: Use strict mode when trying to parse the string. Defaults to
|
||
|
`false`. Even if this option is `false`, if you have provided
|
||
|
`options.sourceType === 'module'` which imples strict mode under ES2015,
|
||
|
strict mode will be used.
|
||
|
- `lineComment`: When `true`, allows line comments in the expression.
|
||
|
Defaults to `false` for safety.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See the examples below for usage.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var isExpression = require('is-expression')
|
||
|
|
||
|
isExpression('myVar')
|
||
|
//=> true
|
||
|
isExpression('var')
|
||
|
//=> false
|
||
|
isExpression('["an", "array", "\'s"].indexOf("index")')
|
||
|
//=> true
|
||
|
|
||
|
isExpression('var', {throw: true})
|
||
|
// SyntaxError: Unexpected token (1:0)
|
||
|
// at Parser.pp.raise (acorn/dist/acorn.js:940:13)
|
||
|
// at ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
isExpression('public')
|
||
|
//=> true
|
||
|
isExpression('public', {strict: true})
|
||
|
//=> false
|
||
|
|
||
|
isExpression('abc // my comment')
|
||
|
//=> false
|
||
|
isExpression('abc // my comment', {lineComment: true})
|
||
|
//=> true
|
||
|
```
