What is @babel/types?

The @babel/types package is a part of the Babel compiler ecosystem. It contains methods for building and validating AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) nodes for JavaScript-like languages. It is commonly used for creating and transforming code within Babel plugins.

What are @babel/types's main functionalities?

AST Node Creation

This feature allows the creation of AST nodes. The code sample demonstrates how to create an identifier and a numeric literal using the package.

const t = require('@babel/types');
const identifier = t.identifier('myVariable');
const numericLiteral = t.numericLiteral(123);

AST Node Validation

This feature is used to validate if a node is of a specific type. The code sample checks if a node is an identifier.

const t = require('@babel/types');
const isValid = t.isIdentifier(t.identifier('myVariable'));

AST Node Transformation

This feature allows the transformation of AST nodes. The code sample creates a binary expression node that represents 'a + b'.

const t = require('@babel/types');
const binaryExpression = t.binaryExpression('+', t.identifier('a'), t.identifier('b'));

AST Node Traversal

This feature is not directly provided by @babel/types but is often used in conjunction with it. It involves traversing the AST and updating nodes. The code sample renames an identifier within the AST.

const t = require('@babel/types');
const traverse = require('@babel/traverse').default;
const ast = t.file(t.program([t.expressionStatement(t.identifier('myVariable'))]));
traverse(ast, {
  enter(path) {
    if (t.isIdentifier(path.node)) {
      path.node.name = 'newVariable';
    }
  }
});
