| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| This package exports the following utilities: |
| |
| - [`ConfigCommentParser`](#configcommentparser) - used to parse ESLint configuration comments (i.e., `/* eslint-disable rule */`) |
| - [`VisitNodeStep` and `CallMethodStep`](#visitnodestep-and-callmethodstep) - used to help implement `SourceCode#traverse()` |
| - [`Directive`](#directive) - used to help implement `SourceCode#getDisableDirectives()` |
| - [`TextSourceCodeBase`](#textsourcecodebase) - base class to help implement the `SourceCode` interface |
| |
| ### `ConfigCommentParser` |
| |
| To use the `ConfigCommentParser` class, import it from the package and create a new instance, such as: |
| |
| ```js |
| import { ConfigCommentParser } from "@eslint/plugin-kit"; |
| |
| // create a new instance |
| const commentParser = new ConfigCommentParser(); |
| |
| // pass in a comment string without the comment delimiters |
| const directive = commentParser.parseDirective( |
| "eslint-disable prefer-const, semi -- I don't want to use these.", |
| ); |
| |
| // will be undefined when a directive can't be parsed |
| if (directive) { |
| console.log(directive.label); // "eslint-disable" |
| console.log(directive.value); // "prefer-const, semi" |
| console.log(directive.justification); // "I don't want to use these." |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| There are different styles of directive values that you'll need to parse separately to get the correct format: |
| |
| ```js |
| import { ConfigCommentParser } from "@eslint/plugin-kit"; |
| |
| // create a new instance |
| const commentParser = new ConfigCommentParser(); |
| |
| // list format |
| const list = commentParser.parseListConfig("prefer-const, semi"); |
| console.log(Object.entries(list)); // [["prefer-const", true], ["semi", true]] |
| |
| // string format |
| const strings = commentParser.parseStringConfig("foo:off, bar"); |
| console.log(Object.entries(strings)); // [["foo", "off"], ["bar", null]] |
| |
| // JSON-like config format |
| const jsonLike = commentParser.parseJSONLikeConfig( |
| "semi:[error, never], prefer-const: warn", |
| ); |
| console.log(Object.entries(jsonLike.config)); // [["semi", ["error", "never"]], ["prefer-const", "warn"]] |
| ``` |
| |
| ### `VisitNodeStep` and `CallMethodStep` |
| |
| The `VisitNodeStep` and `CallMethodStep` classes represent steps in the traversal of source code. They implement the correct interfaces to return from the `SourceCode#traverse()` method. |
| |
| The `VisitNodeStep` class is the more common of the two, where you are describing a visit to a particular node during the traversal. The constructor accepts three arguments: |
| |
| - `target` - the node being visited. This is used to determine the method to call inside of a rule. For instance, if the node's type is `Literal` then ESLint will call a method named `Literal()` on the rule (if present). |
| - `phase` - either 1 for enter or 2 for exit. |
| - `args` - an array of arguments to pass into the visitor method of a rule. |
| |
| For example: |
| |
| ```js |
| import { VisitNodeStep } from "@eslint/plugin-kit"; |
| |
| class MySourceCode { |
| traverse() { |
| const steps = []; |
| |
| for (const { node, parent, phase } of iterator(this.ast)) { |
| steps.push( |
| new VisitNodeStep({ |
| target: node, |
| phase: phase === "enter" ? 1 : 2, |
| args: [node, parent], |
| }), |
| ); |
| } |
| |
| return steps; |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| The `CallMethodStep` class is less common and is used to tell ESLint to call a specific method on the rule. The constructor accepts two arguments: |
| |
| - `target` - the name of the method to call, frequently beginning with `"on"` such as `"onCodePathStart"`. |
| - `args` - an array of arguments to pass to the method. |
| |
| For example: |
| |
| ```js |
| import { VisitNodeStep, CallMethodStep } from "@eslint/plugin-kit"; |
| |
| class MySourceCode { |
| traverse() { |
| const steps = []; |
| |
| for (const { node, parent, phase } of iterator(this.ast)) { |
| steps.push( |
| new VisitNodeStep({ |
| target: node, |
| phase: phase === "enter" ? 1 : 2, |
| args: [node, parent], |
| }), |
| ); |
| |
| // call a method indicating how many times we've been through the loop |
| steps.push( |
| new CallMethodStep({ |
| target: "onIteration", |
| args: [steps.length] |
| }); |
| ) |
| } |
| |
| return steps; |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| ### `Directive` |
| |
| The `Directive` class represents a disable directive in the source code and implements the `Directive` interface from `@eslint/core`. You can tell ESLint about disable directives using the `SourceCode#getDisableDirectives()` method, where part of the return value is an array of `Directive` objects. Here's an example: |
| |
| ```js |
| import { Directive, ConfigCommentParser } from "@eslint/plugin-kit"; |
| |
| class MySourceCode { |
| getDisableDirectives() { |
| const directives = []; |
| const problems = []; |
| const commentParser = new ConfigCommentParser(); |
| |
| // read in the inline config nodes to check each one |
| this.getInlineConfigNodes().forEach(comment => { |
| // Step 1: Parse the directive |
| const { label, value, justification } = |
| commentParser.parseDirective(comment.value); |
| |
| // Step 2: Extract the directive value and create the `Directive` object |
| switch (label) { |
| case "eslint-disable": |
| case "eslint-enable": |
| case "eslint-disable-next-line": |
| case "eslint-disable-line": { |
| const directiveType = label.slice("eslint-".length); |
| |
| directives.push( |
| new Directive({ |
| type: directiveType, |
| node: comment, |
| value, |
| justification, |
| }), |
| ); |
| } |
| |
| // ignore any comments that don't begin with known labels |
| } |
| }); |
| |
| return { |
| directives, |
| problems, |
| }; |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| ### `TextSourceCodeBase` |
| |
| The `TextSourceCodeBase` class is intended to be a base class that has several of the common members found in `SourceCode` objects already implemented. Those members are: |
| |
| - `lines` - an array of text lines that is created automatically when the constructor is called. |
| - `getLoc(nodeOrToken)` - gets the location of a node or token. Works for nodes that have the ESLint-style `loc` property and nodes that have the Unist-style [`position` property](https://github.com/syntax-tree/unist?tab=readme-ov-file#position). If you're using an AST with a different location format, you'll still need to implement this method yourself. |
| - `getLocFromIndex(index)` - Converts a source text index into a `{ line: number, column: number }` pair. (For this method to work, the root node should always cover the entire source code text, and the `getLoc()` method needs to be implemented correctly.) |
| - `getIndexFromLoc(loc)` - Converts a `{ line: number, column: number }` pair into a source text index. (For this method to work, the root node should always cover the entire source code text, and the `getLoc()` method needs to be implemented correctly.) |
| - `getRange(nodeOrToken)` - gets the range of a node or token within the source text. Works for nodes that have the ESLint-style `range` property and nodes that have the Unist-style [`position` property](https://github.com/syntax-tree/unist?tab=readme-ov-file#position). If you're using an AST with a different range format, you'll still need to implement this method yourself. |
| - `getText(node, beforeCount, afterCount)` - gets the source text for the given node that has range information attached. Optionally, can return additional characters before and after the given node. As long as `getRange()` is properly implemented, this method will just work. |
| - `getAncestors(node)` - returns the ancestry of the node. In order for this to work, you must implement the `getParent()` method yourself. |
| |
| Here's an example: |
| |
| ```js |
| import { TextSourceCodeBase } from "@eslint/plugin-kit"; |
| |
| export class MySourceCode extends TextSourceCodeBase { |
| #parents = new Map(); |
| |
| constructor({ ast, text }) { |
| super({ ast, text }); |
| } |
| |
| getParent(node) { |
| return this.#parents.get(node); |
| } |
| |
| traverse() { |
| const steps = []; |
| |
| for (const { node, parent, phase } of iterator(this.ast)) { |
| //save the parent information |
| this.#parent.set(node, parent); |
| |
| steps.push( |
| new VisitNodeStep({ |
| target: node, |
| phase: phase === "enter" ? 1 : 2, |
| args: [node, parent], |
| }), |
| ); |
| } |
| |
| return steps; |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| In general, it's safe to collect the parent information during the `traverse()` method as `getParent()` and `getAncestor()` will only be called from rules once the AST has been traversed at least once. |
