find-token-in-code

find a token in a code.

(including exclude of string, comment template etc) based on find-macthing-bracket npm package

And works for simple structure recognition in both JS Ts and Cs

    const code = `
    // test
    const foo = "test";
    let test1 = 42
    let test = true
    `;
    const position = matchToken(code, 'test');
    // position = 64 (the 'test' in 'let test = true')
    const reg_position = matchToken(code, /test\d*/);
    // reg_position = 45 (the 'test' in 'let test1 = 42')

complex example:

    const code = "var foo = `some ${test()}`; function test(){return 0}"
    const position = matchToken(code, 'test');
    // position = 37 (the 'test' in `some ${test()}` are not alloew by default on curly;)
    // default allowed parens are  [undefined,brackets.curly]

    const position = matchToken(code, 'test',[undefined,brackets.curly,brackets.escapeJsTemaple]);
    // position = 18 (the 'test' in `some ${test()}`;)

Allowed parent (Matching bracket):

name	start	end	node
undefeined			This is global scope
lineComment	//	\n
multilineComment	/*	*/
multilineComment	/*	*/
angle	<	>
peparentheses	(	)
square	[	]
curly	{	}
double	"	"
single	'	'
jsTemplate	`	`
cSharpTemplate	$"	"
escapeJsTemaple	${	}	only in jsTemplate
inCSharpTemaple	{	}	only in cSharpTemplate
