snapdragon-node

snapdragon-node

Snapdragon utility for creating a new AST node in custom code, such as plugins.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save snapdragon-node

Usage

With snapdragon v0.9.0 and higher you can use this.node() to create a new Node, whenever it makes sense.

var Node = require('snapdragon-node');
var Snapdragon = require('snapdragon');
var snapdragon = new Snapdragon();

// example usage inside a parser visitor function
snapdragon.parser.set('foo', function() {
  // get the current "start" position
  var pos = this.position();

  // returns the match if regex matches the substring 
  // at the current position on `parser.input`
  var match = this.match(/foo/);
  if (match) {
    // call "pos" on the node, to set the start and end 
    // positions, and return the node to push it onto the AST
    // (snapdragon will push the node onto the correct
    // nodes array, based on the stack)
    return pos(new Node({type: 'bar', val: match[0]}));
  }
});

API

Node

Create a new AST Node with the given val and type.

Params

• val {String|Object}: Pass a matched substring, or an object to merge onto the node.
• type {String}: The node type to use when val is a string.
• returns {Object}: node instance

Example

var node = new Node('*', 'Star');
var node = new Node({type: 'star', val: '*'});

.isNode

Returns true if the given value is a node.

Params

• node {Object}
• returns {Boolean}

Example

var Node = require('snapdragon-node');
var node = new Node({type: 'foo'});
console.log(Node.isNode(node)); //=> true
console.log(Node.isNode({})); //=> false

.define

Define a non-enumberable property on the node instance. Useful for adding properties that shouldn't be extended or visible during debugging.

Params

• name {String}
• val {any}
• returns {Object}: returns the node instance

Example

var node = new Node();
node.define('foo', 'something non-enumerable');

.isEmpty

Returns true if node.val is an empty string, or node.nodes does not contain any non-empty text nodes.

Params

• fn {Function}: (optional) Filter function that is called on node and/or child nodes. isEmpty will return false immediately when the filter function returns false on any nodes.
• returns {Boolean}

Example

var node = new Node({type: 'text'});
node.isEmpty(); //=> true
node.val = 'foo';
node.isEmpty(); //=> false

.push

Given node foo and node bar, push node bar onto foo.nodes, and set foo as bar.parent.

Params

• node {Object}
• returns {Number}: Returns the length of node.nodes

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
foo.push(bar);

.unshift

Given node foo and node bar, unshift node bar onto foo.nodes, and set foo as bar.parent.

Params

• node {Object}
• returns {Number}: Returns the length of node.nodes

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
foo.unshift(bar);

.pop

Pop a node from node.nodes.

• returns {Number}: Returns the popped node

Example

var node = new Node({type: 'foo'});
node.push(new Node({type: 'a'}));
node.push(new Node({type: 'b'}));
node.push(new Node({type: 'c'}));
node.push(new Node({type: 'd'}));
console.log(node.nodes.length);
//=> 4
node.pop();
console.log(node.nodes.length);
//=> 3

.shift

Shift a node from node.nodes.

• returns {Object}: Returns the shifted node

Example

var node = new Node({type: 'foo'});
node.push(new Node({type: 'a'}));
node.push(new Node({type: 'b'}));
node.push(new Node({type: 'c'}));
node.push(new Node({type: 'd'}));
console.log(node.nodes.length);
//=> 4
node.shift();
console.log(node.nodes.length);
//=> 3

.remove

Remove node from node.nodes.

Params

• node {Object}
• returns {Object}: Returns the removed node.

Example

node.remove(childNode);

.find

Get the first child node from node.nodes that matches the given type. If type is a number, the child node at that index is returned.

Params

• type {String}
• returns {Object}: Returns a child node or undefined.

Example

var child = node.find(1); //<= index of the node to get
var child = node.find('foo');
var child = node.find(/^(foo|bar)$/);
var child = node.find(['foo', 'bar']);

.isType

Return true if the node is the given type.

Params

• type {String}
• returns {Boolean}

Example

var node = new Node({type: 'bar'});
cosole.log(node.isType('foo'));          // false
cosole.log(node.isType(/^(foo|bar)$/));  // true
cosole.log(node.isType(['foo', 'bar'])); // true

.hasType

Return true if the node.nodes has the given type.

Params

• type {String}
• returns {Boolean}

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
foo.push(bar);

cosole.log(foo.hasType('qux'));          // false
cosole.log(foo.hasType(/^(qux|bar)$/));  // true
cosole.log(foo.hasType(['qux', 'bar'])); // true

• returns {Array}

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
var baz = new Node({type: 'baz'});
foo.push(bar);
foo.push(baz);

console.log(bar.siblings.length) // 2
console.log(baz.siblings.length) // 2

• returns {Number}

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
var baz = new Node({type: 'baz'});
var qux = new Node({type: 'qux'});
foo.push(bar);
foo.push(baz);
foo.unshift(qux);

console.log(bar.index) // 1
console.log(baz.index) // 2
console.log(qux.index) // 0

• returns {Object}

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
var baz = new Node({type: 'baz'});
foo.push(bar);
foo.push(baz);

console.log(baz.prev.type) // 'bar'

• returns {Object}

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
var baz = new Node({type: 'baz'});
foo.push(bar);
foo.push(baz);

console.log(bar.siblings.length) // 2
console.log(baz.siblings.length) // 2

• returns {Object}: The first node, or undefiend

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
var baz = new Node({type: 'baz'});
var qux = new Node({type: 'qux'});
foo.push(bar);
foo.push(baz);
foo.push(qux);

console.log(foo.first.type) // 'bar'

• returns {Object}: The last node, or undefiend

Example

var foo = new Node({type: 'foo'});
var bar = new Node({type: 'bar'});
var baz = new Node({type: 'baz'});
var qux = new Node({type: 'qux'});
foo.push(bar);
