API

ast

ast.isExpression(node)

Returns true if node is an Expression as defined in ECMA262 edition 5.1 section 11.

ast.isStatement(node)

Returns true if node is a Statement as defined in ECMA262 edition 5.1 section 12.

ast.isIterationStatement(node)

Returns true if node is an IterationStatement as defined in ECMA262 edition 5.1 section 12.6.

ast.isSourceElement(node)

Returns true if node is a SourceElement as defined in ECMA262 edition 5.1 section 14.

ast.trailingStatement(node)

Returns Statement? if node has trailing Statement.

if (cond)
    consequent;

When taking this IfStatement, returns consequent; statement.

ast.isProblematicIfStatement(node)

Returns true if node is a problematic IfStatement. If node is a problematic IfStatement, node cannot be represented as an one on one JavaScript code.

{
    type: 'IfStatement',
    consequent: {
        type: 'WithStatement',
        body: {
            type: 'IfStatement',
            consequent: {type: 'EmptyStatement'}
        }
    },
    alternate: {type: 'EmptyStatement'}
}

The above node cannot be represented as a JavaScript code, since the top level else alternate belongs to an inner IfStatement.
