Utilities for AST (ESTree compliant)

Getting Started

This package is available in the Node Package Repository and can be easily installed with npm or yarn.

$ npm i @nodesecure/estree-ast-utils
# or
$ yarn add @nodesecure/estree-ast-utils

Usage example

import { VariableTracer } from "@nodesecure/estree-ast-utils";

const tracer = new VariableTracer().enableDefaultTracing();

const data = tracer.getDataFromIdentifier("identifier...here");
console.log(data);

API

Translate an ESTree ArrayExpression into an iterable of Literal value.

["foo", "bar"];

will return "foo" then "bar".

Return all Literal part of a given Binary Expression.

"foo" + "bar";

will return "foo" then "bar".

One of the options of the method is stopOnUnsupportedNode, if true it will throw an Error if the left or right side of the Expr is not a supported type.

Return the identifier name of the CallExpression (or null if there is none).

foobar();

will return "foobar".

One of the options of the method is resolveCallExpression (which is true by default).

Sometimes you don't want to resolve/jump early CallExpression like in the following example:

require('./file.js')();
//     ^ Second     ^ First

With resolveCallExpression equal to false the function return null.

Return the identifier name of the CallExpression (or null if there is none).

foo.bar();

will return "foo" then "bar".

Get all variables identifier name.

const [foo, bar] = [1, 2];

will return "foo" then "bar".

Return true if the given Node is a Literal Regex Node.

/^hello/g;

Extract all LogicalExpression recursively and return an IterableIterator of

{ operator: "||" | "&&" | "??", node: any }

For the following code example

freeGlobal || freeSelf || Function('return this')();

The extract will return three parts

• freeGlobal
• freeSelf
• and finally Function('return this')();
