Typescript AST Parser

A parser that converts .ts files into human readable objects.

Example usage of parse function from ./parser.ts:

1. Example file to parse
2. Calling the parse function
3. Example output from parse

1.

Example file to parse.

Given the following file path/to/my-component.ts

import {Component, EventEmitter, Input, Output} from "@angular/core";
import {NgFor, NgIf} from "@angular/common";
import {Observable} from "rxjs";


@Component({
  selector: 'my-component',
  templateUrl: 'my-component.html',
  styleUrls: ['my-component.css'],
  standalone: true,
  imports: [
    NgIf,
    NgFor
  ]
})
class MyComponent {

  @Input({required: true}) myRequiredInput?: string;
  @Input('alias') myAliasedInput?: string;

  @Output() myOutput = new EventEmitter<string>();

  public someValue?: Observable<boolean>;

  public myMethod() {
    return 'myMethod';
  }
}

2.

Calling the parse function

import {
  CommonPathHandler,
  NgPathHandler,
  NodeModulesPathHandler,
  RxjsPathHandler,
  Parser,
  defaultDeclarationDefinitionMap,
  parse
} from "@jamesbenrobb/ts-ast-parser";


const pathHandlers = [
  new CommonPathHandler(),
  new NodeModulesPathHandler(),
  new NgPathHandler(),
  new RxjsPathHandler()
]

const sourcePath = 'path/to/my-component.ts';

const parser = new Parser(defaultDeclarationDefinitionMap);

const source = parse(
  sourcePath,
  parser,
  pathHandlers, {
    walk: false,
    debug: false
  }
);

console.log(source);
