Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.
@babel/generator
Advanced tools
Package description
The @babel/generator package is a part of the Babel toolchain that is responsible for generating code from an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). It takes an AST as input and turns it into code with source maps, if desired. This is particularly useful when you want to transform code using Babel and then generate the transformed code.
Code Generation from AST
This feature allows you to generate code from an AST. The code sample demonstrates parsing a piece of code into an AST and then generating the code back from the AST.
const { parse } = require('@babel/parser');
const generate = require('@babel/generator').default;
const code = 'let a = 1;';
const ast = parse(code);
const output = generate(ast, {}, code);
console.log(output.code);
Source Map Support
This feature enables the generation of source maps along with the generated code. The code sample shows how to generate a source map for the code that is being generated from an AST.
const { parse } = require('@babel/parser');
const generate = require('@babel/generator').default;
const code = 'let a = 1;';
const ast = parse(code);
const output = generate(ast, { sourceMaps: true }, code);
console.log(output.map);
Escodegen is an ECMAScript code generator that takes an AST and converts it back into code. It is similar to @babel/generator but does not provide the same level of integration with the Babel ecosystem.
Recast is a JavaScript AST tool that allows you to parse, visit, and transform the nodes of your AST, and then regenerate JavaScript code. It preserves the original formatting as much as possible and can be used in conjunction with Babel.
Astring is a tiny and fast JavaScript code generator from an ESTree-compliant AST. It is smaller and may be faster than @babel/generator but lacks the extensive plugin system and integrations that Babel offers.
