What is @babel/parser?

The @babel/parser package is a JavaScript parser that allows you to convert ECMAScript 2015+ code into a parse tree. This package is part of the Babel toolchain and is primarily used for transforming JavaScript code. It provides a flexible and extensible framework for parsing modern JavaScript syntax, enabling developers to analyze, understand, and manipulate the code structure.

What are @babel/parser's main functionalities?

Parsing JavaScript

This feature allows you to parse JavaScript code into an abstract syntax tree (AST). The code sample demonstrates how to parse a simple piece of JavaScript code, specifying the source type and enabling plugins for JSX and TypeScript support.

const babelParser = require('@babel/parser');
const code = 'let x = 1;';
const ast = babelParser.parse(code, {
  sourceType: 'module',
  plugins: [
    'jsx',
    'typescript'
  ]
});

Using Plugins for Syntax Support

The @babel/parser package supports various plugins to extend its parsing capabilities to include newer JavaScript syntax and experimental features. This example shows how to enable the 'asyncGenerators' and 'classProperties' plugins to parse code using these features.

const astWithPlugins = babelParser.parse(code, {
  plugins: [
    'asyncGenerators',
    'classProperties'
  ]
});
