var esprima = require('esprima');
var estraverse = require('estraverse');
var ast = esprima.parse(code);
var scopeManager = escope.analyze(ast);
var currentScope = scopeManager.acquire(ast); // global scope
estraverse.traverse(ast, {
enter: function(node, parent) {
// do stuff
if (/Function/.test(node.type)) {
currentScope = scopeManager.acquire(node); // get current function scope
}
},
leave: function(node, parent) {
if (/Function/.test(node.type)) {
currentScope = currentScope.upper; // set to parent scope
}
// do stuff
}
});
