snapdragon-util

Utilities for the snapdragon parser/compiler.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your ❤️ and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save snapdragon-util

Usage

var util = require('snapdragon-util');

API

.isNode

Returns true if the given value is a node.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• returns {Boolean}

Example

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

.noop

Emit an empty string for the given node.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• returns {undefined}

Example

// do nothing for beginning-of-string
snapdragon.compiler.set('bos', utils.noop);

.value

Returns node.value or node.val.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• returns {String}: returns

Example

const star = new Node({type: 'star', value: '*'});
const slash = new Node({type: 'slash', val: '/'});
console.log(utils.value(star)) //=> '*'
console.log(utils.value(slash)) //=> '/'

.identity

Append node.value to compiler.output.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• returns {undefined}

Example

snapdragon.compiler.set('text', utils.identity);

.append

Previously named .emit, this method appends the given value to compiler.output for the given node. Useful when you know what value should be appended advance, regardless of the actual value of node.value.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• returns {Function}: Returns a compiler middleware function.

Example

snapdragon.compiler
  .set('i', function(node) {
    this.mapVisit(node);
  })
  .set('i.open', utils.append('<i>'))
  .set('i.close', utils.append('</i>'))

.toNoop

Used in compiler middleware, this onverts an AST node into an empty text node and deletes node.nodes if it exists. The advantage of this method is that, as opposed to completely removing the node, indices will not need to be re-calculated in sibling nodes, and nothing is appended to the output.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• nodes {Array}: Optionally pass a new nodes value, to replace the existing node.nodes array.

Example

utils.toNoop(node);
// convert `node.nodes` to the given value instead of deleting it
utils.toNoop(node, []);

.visit

Visit node with the given fn. The built-in .visit method in snapdragon automatically calls registered compilers, this allows you to pass a visitor function.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• fn {Function}
• returns {Object}: returns the node after recursively visiting all child nodes.

Example

snapdragon.compiler.set('i', function(node) {
  utils.visit(node, function(childNode) {
    // do stuff with "childNode"
    return childNode;
  });
});

.mapVisit

Map visit the given fn over node.nodes. This is called by visit, use this method if you do not want fn to be called on the first node.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• options {Object}
• fn {Function}
• returns {Object}: returns the node

Example

snapdragon.compiler.set('i', function(node) {
  utils.mapVisit(node, function(childNode) {
    // do stuff with "childNode"
    return childNode;
  });
});

.addOpen

Unshift an *.open node onto node.nodes.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• Node {Function}: (required) Node constructor function from snapdragon-node.
• filter {Function}: Optionaly specify a filter function to exclude the node.
• returns {Object}: Returns the created opening node.

Example

var Node = require('snapdragon-node');
snapdragon.parser.set('brace', function(node) {
  var match = this.match(/^{/);
  if (match) {
    var parent = new Node({type: 'brace'});
    utils.addOpen(parent, Node);
    console.log(parent.nodes[0]):
    // { type: 'brace.open', value: '' };
 
    // push the parent "brace" node onto the stack
    this.push(parent);
 
    // return the parent node, so it's also added to the AST
    return brace;
  }
});

.addClose

Push a *.close node onto node.nodes.

Params

• node {Object}: Instance of snapdragon-node
• Node {Function}: (required) Node constructor function from snapdragon-node.
• filter {Function}: Optionaly specify a filter function to exclude the node.
• returns {Object}: Returns the created closing node.

Example

var Node = require('snapdragon-node');
snapdragon.parser.set('brace', function(node) {
  var match = this.match(/^}/);
  if (match) {
    var parent = this.parent();
    if (parent.type !== 'brace') {
      throw new Error('missing opening: ' + '}');
    }
 
    utils.addClose(parent, Node);
    console.log(parent.nodes[parent.nodes.length - 1]):
    // { type: 'brace.close', value: '' };
 
    // no need to return a node, since the parent
    // was already added to the AST
    return;
  }
});
