ast-monkey-traverse
Utility library to traverse AST
## Install
This package is [pure ESM](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c). If you're not ready yet, install an older version of this program, 2.1.0 (`npm i ast-monkey-traverse@2.1.0`).
```bash
npm i ast-monkey-traverse
```
## Quick Take
```js
import { strict as assert } from "assert";
import { traverse } from "ast-monkey-traverse";
const paths = [];
const source = {
a: {
foo: {
bar: [
{
foo: "c",
},
],
d: {
e: {
foo: "f",
},
},
},
},
};
traverse(source, (key, val, innerObj) => {
// if currently an object is traversed, you get both "key" and "val"
// if it's array, only "key" is present, "val" is undefined
let current = val !== undefined ? val : key;
if (
// it's object (not array)
val !== undefined &&
// and has the key we need
key === "foo"
) {
// push the path to array in the outer scope
paths.push(innerObj.path);
}
return current;
});
// notice object-path notation "a.foo.bar.0.foo" - array segments use dots too:
assert.deepEqual(paths, ["a.foo", "a.foo.bar.0.foo", "a.foo.d.e.foo"]);
```
