javascript-idents

javascript-idents walks a JavaScript AST and collects all Identifier AST nodes. It relies on Marijn Haverbeke's acorn.js for AST walking, and it should be compatible with any SpiderMonkey Parser API-compliant JavaScript AST.

It is intended for use in node.js but can be adapted to work in other JavaScript environments.

Documentation: javascript-idents on Sourcegraph

Example

The following example prints the name of each Identifier AST node to the console.

var acorn = require('acorn'), idents = require('javascript-idents');

var src = 'var c = a.b[d]; function f(w, x, y) { return z; }';
var astNode = acorn.parse(src);
idents.inspect(astNode, function(ident) {
  console.log('Ident:', ident.name);
});

// output:
// Ident: c
// Ident: a
// Ident: b
// Ident: d
// Ident: f
// Ident: w
// Ident: x
// Ident: y
// Ident: z
