esast (and estree) utility to parse trees from JavaScript.
This package is a utility that turns a string of JavaScript into an esast (estree with some extra cleanliness) syntax tree.
You can use this utility when you want to deal with ASTs of JavaScript combined with other unist and vfile things. You can use acorn itself if you don’t care about unified.
The utility estree-util-to-js does the inverse of this utility. It turns the tree into a string of JavaScript.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install esast-util-from-js
In Deno with esm.sh:
import {fromJs} from 'https://esm.sh/esast-util-from-js@2'
In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import {fromJs} from 'https://esm.sh/esast-util-from-js@2?bundle'
</script>
import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
import {fromJs} from 'esast-util-from-js'
const tree = fromJs(await fs.readFile('example.js'), {module: true})
console.log(tree)
Yields:
{
type: 'Program',
body: [
{
type: 'ImportDeclaration',
specifiers: [Array],
source: [Object],
position: [Object]
},
{
type: 'ImportDeclaration',
specifiers: [Array],
source: [Object],
position: [Object]
},
{
type: 'VariableDeclaration',
declarations: [Array],
kind: 'const',
position: [Object]
},
{
type: 'ExpressionStatement',
expression: [Object],
position: [Object]
}
],
sourceType: 'module',
comments: [],
position: {
start: {line: 1, column: 1, offset: 0},
end: {line: 7, column: 1, offset: 157}
}
}
This package exports the identifier fromJs. There is no default export.
Parse JavaScript to an esast.
Tree (Node).
When the JavaScript cannot be parsed with acorn, a VFileMessage is thrown.
This can for example happen when passing modern syntax (you could maybe use a newer version, or it might be that the syntax is not yet supported), or just otherwise invalid JavaScript (you might need a plugin).
Configuration (TypeScript type).
JavaScript version (Version, default: 'latest').
When a number, must be a year in the range 2015 and 2023 (both including). 'latest' is the same as passing the latest supported year.
☢️ Danger:
'latest'is a sliding thing, you could consider it as breaking semver. Pass an actual year to lock that down.
Whether this is a module (ESM) or a script (boolean, default: false).
allowReturnOutsideFunction
Whether a return statement is allowed in the top scope (boolean, default: false).
allowImportExportEverywhere
Whether import/export statements are allowed in the every scope (boolean, default: false).
allowAwaitOutsideFunction
Whether await is allowed in the top scope (boolean, default: depends). Defaults to version >= 2022.
Whether super is allowed outside methods (boolean, default: false).
Whether a shell hasbang is allowed (boolean, default: false).
List of acorn plugins (Array<Plugin>, default: []). Examples are acorn-jsx and acorn-stage3.
Acorn plugin (TypeScript type).
type Plugin = (Parser: ParserClass) => ParserClass
Input value (TypeScript type).
When a typed array, must be UTF-8.
type Value = Uint8Array | string
JavaScript version (TypeScript type).
'latest' is equivalent to the latest supported year.
type Version = 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 'latest'
This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional types Options, Plugin, Value, and Version.
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, esast-util-from-js@^2, compatible with Node.js 16.
