jsdoctypeparser
The parser can parse:
- JSDoc type expressions
foo.bar
,String[]
- Closure Compiler type expressions
Array<string>
,function(arg1, arg2): ret
- JSDuck type definitions
Boolean/"top"/"bottom"
- some Typescript types
(x: number) => string
,typeof x
,import("./some-module")
- Complex type expressions
Array<Array<string>>
,function(function(Function))
Live demo
The live demo is available.
Usage (Programmatic)
Parsing
const {parse} = require('jsdoctypeparser');
const ast = parse('Array<MyClass>');
The ast
becomes:
{
"type": "GENERIC",
"subject": {
"type": "NAME",
"name": "Array"
},
"objects": [
{
"type": "NAME",
"name": "MyClass"
}
],
"meta": {
"syntax": "ANGLE_BRACKET"
}
}
See the AST specifications.
Publishing
We can stringify the AST nodes by using publish
.
const {publish} = require('jsdoctypeparser');
const ast = {
type: 'GENERIC',
subject: {
type: 'NAME',
name: 'Array'
},
objects: [
{
type: 'NAME',
name: 'MyClass'
}
]
};
const string = publish(ast);
The string
becomes:
"Array<MyClass>"
Custom publishing
We can change the stringification strategy by using the 2nd parameter of publish(node, publisher)
.
The publisher
MUST have handlers for all node types (see lib/NodeType.js
).
And we can override default behavior by using createDefaultPublisher
.
const {publish, createDefaultPublisher} = require('jsdoctypeparser');
const ast = {
type: 'NAME',
name: 'MyClass',
};
const customPublisher = createDefaultPublisher();
customPublisher.NAME = (node, pub) =>
`<a href="./types/${node.name}.html">${node.name}</a>`;
const string = publish(ast, customPublisher);
The string
becomes:
<a href="./types/MyClass.html">MyClass</a>
Traversing
We can traverse the AST by using traverse
.
This function takes 3 parameters (a node and an onEnter handler, an onLeave handler).
The handlers take a visiting node.
const {parse, traverse} = require('jsdoctypeparser');
const ast = parse('Array<{ key1: function(), key2: A.B.C }>');
function onEnter(node, parentName, parentNode) {
console.log('enter', node.type, parentName, parentNode.type);
}
function onLeave(node, parentName, parentNode) {
console.log('leave', node.type, parentName, parentNode.type);
}
traverse(ast, onEnter, onLeave);
The output will be:
enter GENERIC null null
enter NAME subject GENERIC
leave NAME subject GENERIC
enter RECORD objects GENERIC
enter RECORD_ENTRY entries RECORD
enter FUNCTION value RECORD_ENTRY
leave FUNCTION value RECORD_ENTRY
leave RECORD_ENTRY entries RECORD
enter RECORD_ENTRY entries RECORD
enter MEMBER value RECORD_ENTRY
enter MEMBER owner MEMBER
enter NAME owner MEMBER
leave NAME owner MEMBER
leave MEMBER owner MEMBER
leave MEMBER value RECORD_ENTRY
leave RECORD_ENTRY entries RECORD
leave RECORD objects GENERIC
leave GENERIC null null

Usage (CLI)
To parse a type into a JSON structure, you may pass a string argument containing the structure to parse (with the JSON results equivalent to the parsing example above):
jsdoctypeparser 'Array<MyClass>'
Note: There is no need to prefix the path to the jsdoctypeparser
binary,
e.g., with ./node_modules/.bin/
when you are running within one of the
package.json
scripts
or if you have installed the package globally.
