Advanced tools
node-syntax-tree is a node package for executing Syntax Tree in a WASM environment. It functions by compiling the Ruby interpreter and Syntax Tree source files into a WASM package that is loaded and executed at runtime.
If you're using the npm:
npm install --save node-syntax-tree
Or if you're using yarn, then add the plugin by:
yarn add node-syntax-tree
node-syntax-tree provides both CJS and ESM modules distributions. To require through CJS, run:
const { default: createSyntaxTree } = require("node-syntax-tree");
To require through ESM, run:
import createSyntaxTree from "node-syntax-tree";
Once you have the import, you can initial the virtual machine and run the associated functions, as in:
createSyntaxTree().then((syntaxTree) => {
console.log(syntaxTree.handlers.ruby.parse("foo"));
// => (program (statements ((vcall (ident "foo")))))
console.log(syntaxTree.handlers.ruby.format("1+1"));
// => 1 + 1
console.log(syntaxTree.handlers.haml.parse("= foo"));
// => (root children=[(script text=" foo")])
console.log(syntaxTree.handlers.haml.format("= foo"));
// => = foo
});
You can access all of the various Syntax Tree plugins except RBS.
TypeScript types are provided along with this package, and effectively boil down to:
type SyntaxTreeHandler = {
format(source: string): string;
parse(source: string): string;
read(filepath: string): string;
};
type SyntaxTree = {
handlers: Record<"bf" | "css" | "haml" | "json" | "ruby" | "xml", SyntaxTreeHandler>
};
function createSyntaxTree(): Promise<SyntaxTree>;
