What is babel-types?

The babel-types package is a part of the Babel compiler ecosystem. It provides builders, validators, and conversion utilities for the various types of nodes in the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) used by Babel. This package is essential for manipulating the AST generated or consumed by Babel, allowing for custom transformations and analysis of JavaScript code.

What are babel-types's main functionalities?

AST Node Builders

Builders are functions that help in creating AST nodes. This example demonstrates creating a binary expression node that represents the multiplication of two identifiers, 'a' and 'b'.

const t = require('babel-types');
const binaryExpression = t.binaryExpression('*', t.identifier('a'), t.identifier('b'));

AST Node Validators

Validators are functions that check if a node is of a certain type or meets certain criteria. In this example, the validator checks if the node is an identifier with the name 'a'.

const t = require('babel-types');
const isValid = t.isIdentifier(t.identifier('a'), { name: 'a' });

Type Conversion Utilities

Conversion utilities allow for the transformation of one type of node into another. This example shows converting a numeric literal into a string literal.

const t = require('babel-types');
const numericLiteral = t.numericLiteral(5);
const asStringLiteral = t.stringLiteral(`${numericLiteral.value}`);
