The Risks of Misguided Research in Supply Chain Security
Snyk's use of malicious npm packages for research raises ethical concerns, highlighting risks in public deployment, data exfiltration, and unauthorized testing.
maps JavaScript Identifier AST nodes to/from their corresponding definition nodes
defnode is a node.js package that maps JavaScript Identifier AST nodes to/from their corresponding definition nodes. It is useful in tools that perform JavaScript source introspection.
For example, suppose we have the following code.
function a(b) {
var c = 1, d;
}
defnode maps the following Identifier/definition pairs:
a
to/from the enclosing FunctionDeclaration nodeb
to/from itself (since its Identifier node is its own declaration)c
to/from its VariableDeclarator noded
to/from its VariableDeclarator nodedefnode uses marijnh/tern, but it should work with any SpiderMonkey API-compliant JavaScript AST.
