Advanced tools
ESLint Scope is the ECMAScript scope analyzer used in ESLint. It is a fork of escope.
npm i lzh-eslint-scope --save
To use in an ESM file:
import * as eslintScope from 'lzh-eslint-scope';
To use in a CommonJS file:
const eslintScope = require('lzh-eslint-scope');
In order to analyze scope, you'll need to have an ESTree compliant AST structure to run it on. The primary method is eslintScope.analyze(), which takes two arguments:
ast - the ESTree-compliant AST structure to analyze.options (optional) - Options to adjust how the scope is analyzed, including:ignoreEval (default: false) - Set to true to ignore all eval() calls (which would normally create scopes).nodejsScope (default: false) - Set to true to create a top-level function scope needed for CommonJS evaluation.impliedStrict (default: false) - Set to true to evaluate the code in strict mode even outside of modules and without "use strict".ecmaVersion (default: 5) - The version of ECMAScript to use to evaluate the code.sourceType (default: "script") - The type of JavaScript file to evaluate. Change to "module" for ECMAScript module code.childVisitorKeys (default: null) - An object with visitor key information (like eslint-visitor-keys). Without this, lzh-eslint-scope finds child nodes to visit algorithmically. Providing this option is a performance enhancement.fallback (default: "iteration") - The strategy to use when childVisitorKeys is not specified. May be a function.Example:
import * as eslintScope from 'lzh-eslint-scope';
import * as espree from 'espree';
import estraverse from 'estraverse';
const options = {
ecmaVersion: 2022,
sourceType: "module"
};
const ast = espree.parse(code, { range: true, ...options });
const scopeManager = eslintScope.analyze(ast, options);
const currentScope = scopeManager.acquire(ast); // global scope
estraverse.traverse(ast, {
enter (node, parent) {
// do stuff
if (/Function/.test(node.type)) {
currentScope = scopeManager.acquire(node); // get current function scope
}
},
leave(node, parent) {
if (/Function/.test(node.type)) {
currentScope = currentScope.upper; // set to parent scope
}
// do stuff
}
});
