Package Exports

shift-codegen
shift-codegen/dist/token_stream

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 (shift-codegen) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Shift Code Generator

About

This module provides a code generator for Shift format ASTs.

Status

Stable.

Installation

npm install shift-codegen

Usage

import codegen from "shift-codegen";
let programSource = codegen(/* Shift format AST */);

Note on IfStatements

When presented with a valid structure that represents an IfStatement nested inside the consequent of an IfStatement that also has an alternate, we choose to generate code that preserves the intent of the AST rather than generate valid code that executes in an unintended manner.

e.g., when generating code for an AST that looks like it represents this:

if (a)
  if (b) foo()
else bar()

We generate the following instead:

if (a) {
  if (b) foo()
} else bar()

The following parse of this code includes a BlockStatement and a Block wrapping the consequent of the outer IfStatement. This is considered optimal because the original AST is impossible to have been generated by a parse of actual JavaScript and could only occur from programmatic generation and that this resulting structure would have been the original intent.
