Readme

@putout/engine-parser

🐊Putout engine that parses input.

Install

npm i @putout/engine-parser

Supported parsers

Any parser should be installed before use, but you can be sure that @babel/parse always installed.

API

You can avoid using recast and speed up parsing and printing a bit using only Babel using:

const ast = parse(source, {
    printer: 'babel',
});

const code = print(ast, {
    printer: 'babel',
});

You can use brand new @putout/printer which formats code according to eslint-plugin-putout rules but without using ESLint.

const ast = parse(source, {
    printer: 'putout',
});

const code = print(ast, {
    printer: 'putout',
});

When you need to pass options, use:

const code = print(ast, {
    printer: ['putout', {
        format: {
            indent: '    ',
        },
    }],
});

print(ast [, options])

Print code from ast

parse(code, [, options])

You can add default options for custom parser you use.

parse.fresh(code)

parse without memoization.

parse.ast(template)

create node using memoization.

parse.ast.fresh(template)

create node without memoization.

Sourcemaps

You have two ways to benefit from source map generation:

using Recast print;
using Babel generator;

Generate sourcemaps using Recast

const source = `const hello = 'world';`;

const ast = parse(source, {
    sourceFileName: 'hello.js',
});

print(ast, {
    sourceMapName: 'hello.map',
});

// returns
`const hello = 'world';
{"version":3,"sources":["hello.js"],"names":[],"mappings":"AAAA...","file":"hello.map","sourcesContent":["const hello = 'world';"]}`;

Generate sourcemaps using Babel

To generate sourcemap using babel generator, you should use babel parser before. This is low level transformation, because Babel doesn't preserve any formatting.

const {generate} = require('@putout/engine-parser');
const babel = require('@putout/engine-parser/babel');

const ast = babel.parse(source, {
    sourceFilename: 'hello.js',
});

generate(ast, {
    sourceMaps: true,
}, {
    'hello.js': source,
});

// returns
({
    code,
    map,
});

Example

const {parse} = require('@putout/engine-parser');
const parser = 'acorn';

const code = parse('var t = "hello"', {
    parser,
});
