What is @svgr/hast-util-to-babel-ast?
@svgr/hast-util-to-babel-ast is a utility package that converts HAST (Hypertext Abstract Syntax Tree) to Babel AST (Abstract Syntax Tree). This is particularly useful in the context of transforming SVG files into React components, as it allows for the manipulation and transformation of SVG content using Babel's powerful tooling.
What are @svgr/hast-util-to-babel-ast's main functionalities?
Convert HAST to Babel AST
This feature allows you to convert a HAST node into a Babel AST node. The code sample demonstrates how to import the `toBabelAst` function, create a simple HAST node representing an SVG element, and convert it to a Babel AST node.
const { toBabelAst } = require('@svgr/hast-util-to-babel-ast');
const hastNode = { type: 'element', tagName: 'svg', properties: {}, children: [] };
const babelAst = toBabelAst(hastNode);
console.log(babelAst);
