Escodegen

Escodegen (escodegen) is an ECMAScript (also popularly known as JavaScript) code generator from Mozilla's Parser API AST. See the online generator for a demo.

Install

Escodegen can be used in a web browser:

<script src="escodegen.browser.js"></script>

escodegen.browser.js can be found in tagged revisions on GitHub.

Or in a Node.js application via npm:

npm install escodegen

Usage

A simple example: the program

escodegen.generate({
    type: 'BinaryExpression',
    operator: '+',
    left: { type: 'Literal', value: 40 },
    right: { type: 'Literal', value: 2 }
});

produces the string '40 + 2'.

See the API page for options. To run the tests, execute npm test in the root directory.

Building browser bundle / minified browser bundle

At first, execute npm install to install the all dev dependencies. After that,

npm run-script build

will generate escodegen.browser.js, which can be used in browser environments.

And,

npm run-script build-min

will generate the minified file escodegen.browser.min.js.
