Readme
Babylon is a JavaScript parser used in Babel.
Heavily based on acorn and acorn-jsx, thanks to the awesome work of @RReverser and @marijnh.
Significant diversions are expected to occur in the future such as streaming, EBNF definitions, sweet.js integration, interspacial parsing and more.
babylon.parse(code, [options])
allowImportExportEverywhere: By default, import
and export
declarations can only appear at a program's top level. Setting this
option to true
allows them anywhere where a statement is allowed.
allowReturnOutsideFunction: By default, a return statement at
the top level raises an error. Set this to true
to accept such
code.
allowSuperOutsideMethod TODO
sourceType: Indicate the mode the code should be parsed in. Can be
either "script"
or "module"
.
sourceFilename: Correlate output AST nodes with their source filename. Useful when generating code and source maps from the ASTs of multiple input files.
plugins: Array containing the plugins that you want to enable.
