escope/README.md

Escope ([escope](http://github.com/estools/escope)) is
[ECMAScript](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm)
scope analyzer extracted from [esmangle project](http://github.com/estools/esmangle).

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/estools/escope.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/estools/escope)

### Example

```js
var escope = require('escope');
var esprima = require('esprima');
var estraverse = require('estraverse');

var ast = esprima.parse(code);
var scopeManager = escope.analyze(ast);

var currentScope = scopeManager.acquire(ast);   // global scope

estraverse.traverse(ast, {
    enter: function(node, parent) {
        // do stuff
        
        if (/Function/.test(node.type)) {
            currentScope = scopeManager.acquire(node);  // get current function scope
        }
    },
    leave: function(node, parent) {
        if (/Function/.test(node.type)) {
            currentScope = currentScope.upper;  // set to parent scope
        }
        
        // do stuff
    }
});
```

And there are tools constructed on Escope.

- [Esmangle](https://github.com/estools/esmangle) is a minifier / mangler / optimizer.
- [Eslevels](https://github.com/mazurov/eslevels) is a scope levels analyzer and [SublimeText plugin for scope context coloring](https://github.com/mazurov/sublime-levels) is constructed on it.
- [Esgoggles](https://github.com/keeyipchan/esgoggles) is JavaScript code browser.
