ast-pretty-print

A pretty printer for AST-like structures

• Super fast (useful for build tools)
• Concise output (useful for debugging)
• Consistent output (useful for snapshot testing)

import parser from 'parser';
import printAST from 'ast-pretty-print';

let code = `...`;
let ast = parser.parse(code);
let printed = printAST(ast);

console.log(printed);

AST Nodes are expected to have this shape:

type Node = {
  type: string,
  start?: number, // ignored
  end?: number, // ignored
  loc?: {
    start?: {
      line?: number,
      column?: number,
    },
    end?: {
      line?: number,
      column?: number,
    },
  },
  [key: string]: mixed,
};
