node-source-walk
Synchronously execute a callback on every node of a file's AST and stop walking whenever you see fit.
npm install --save node-source-walk
Usage
var Walker = require('node-source-walk');
var walker = new Walker();
// Assume src is the string contents of myfile.js
// or the AST of an outside parse of myfile.js
walker.walk(src, function(node) {
if (node.type === whateverImLookingFor) {
// No need to keep traversing since we found what we wanted
walker.stopWalking();
}
});
By default, Walker will use babylon
(supporting ES6, JSX, Flow, and all other available babylon plugins) and the sourceType: module
, but you can change any of the defaults as follows:
var walker = new Walker({
sourceType: 'script',
// If you don't like experimental plugins
plugins: [
'jsx',
'flow'
]
});
- The supplied options are passed through to the parser, so you can configure it according to babylon's documentation: https://github.com/babel/babylon
Swap out the parser
If you want to supply your own parser, you can do:
var walker = new Walker({
parser: mySweetParser
});
- The custom parser must have a
.parse
method that takes in a string and returns an object/AST. - All of the other options supplied to the Walker constructor will be passed along as parser options to your chosen parser.
Public Members
walk(src, cb)
- Recursively walks the given
src
from top to bottom src
: the contents of a file OR its (already parsed) ASTcb
: a function that is called for every visited node.- The argument passed to
cb
will be the currently visited node.
moonwalk(node, cb)
- Recursively walks up an AST starting from the given node. This is a traversal that's in the opposite direction of
walk
andtraverse
. node
: a valid AST nodecb
: a function that is called for every node (specifically via visiting the parent(s) of every node recursively).- The argument passed to
cb
will be the currently visited node.
stopWalking()
- Halts further walking of the AST until another manual call of
walk
ormoonwalk
. - This is super-beneficial when dealing with large source files (or ASTs)
traverse(node, cb)
- Allows you to traverse an AST node and execute a callback on it
- Callback should expect the first argument to be an AST node, similar to
walk
's callback.
parse(src)
- Uses the options supplied to Walker to parse the given source code string and return its AST using the configured parser (or babylon by default).
