Package Exports

esast-util-from-estree
esast-util-from-estree/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (esast-util-from-estree) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

What is this?

This package applies some transforms to a given estree to make it compatible with unist. It:

makes sure nodes are plain JSON
adds unist positions
normalizes .bigint
remove attributes, selfClosing from JSXOpeningFragment
removes certain discouraged fields

When should I use this?

The transform applied by this utility is often optional: estrees can be used in most places where esast can be used, and vice versa. But, if you come from a unist background and want to deal with JavaScript, or want to use unist utilities with JavaScript, this helps a lot.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install esast-util-from-estree

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {fromEstree} from 'https://esm.sh/esast-util-from-estree@1'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {fromEstree} from 'https://esm.sh/esast-util-from-estree@1?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {parse} from 'acorn'
import {fromEstree} from 'esast-util-from-estree'

// Make acorn support comments and positional info.
const comments = []
const esast = parse(
  'export function x() { /* Something senseless */ console.log(/(?:)/ + 1n) }',
  {sourceType: 'module', locations: true, onComment: comments}
)
esast.comments = comments

console.log(fromEstree(esast))

Yields:

{
  type: 'Program',
  body: [
    {
      type: 'ExportNamedDeclaration',
      declaration: [Object],
      specifiers: [],
      source: null,
      position: [Object]
    }
  ],
  sourceType: 'module',
  comments: [
    {
      type: 'Block',
      value: ' Something senseless ',
      position: [Object]
    }
  ],
  position: {
    start: {line: 1, column: 1, offset: 0},
    end: {line: 1, column: 75, offset: 74}
  }
}
