| Suppose you have some source code. You want to make some light modifications to it - replacing a few characters here and there, wrapping it with a header and footer, etc - and ideally you'd like to generate a source map at the end of it. You've thought about using something like [recast](https://github.com/benjamn/recast) (which allows you to generate an AST from some JavaScript, manipulate it, and reprint it with a sourcemap without losing your comments and formatting), but it seems like overkill for your needs (or maybe the source code isn't JavaScript). |
| |
| Your requirements are, frankly, rather niche. But they're requirements that I also have, and for which I made magic-string. It's a small, fast utility for manipulating strings and generating sourcemaps. |
| |
| ## Installation |
| |
| magic-string works in both node.js and browser environments. For node, install with npm: |
| |
| ```bash |
| npm i magic-string |
| ``` |
| |
| To use in browser, grab the [magic-string.umd.js](https://unpkg.com/magic-string/dist/magic-string.umd.js) file and add it to your page: |
| |
| ```html |
| <script src='magic-string.umd.js'></script> |
| ``` |
| |
| (It also works with various module systems, if you prefer that sort of thing - it has a dependency on [vlq](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/vlq).) |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| These examples assume you're in node.js, or something similar: |
| |
| ```js |
| var MagicString = require( 'magic-string' ); |
| var s = new MagicString( 'problems = 99' ); |
| |
| s.overwrite( 0, 8, 'answer' ); |
| s.toString(); // 'answer = 99' |
| |
| s.overwrite( 11, 13, '42' ); // character indices always refer to the original string |
| s.toString(); // 'answer = 42' |
| |
| s.prepend( 'var ' ).append( ';' ); // most methods are chainable |
| s.toString(); // 'var answer = 42;' |
| |
| var map = s.generateMap({ |
| source: 'source.js', |
| file: 'converted.js.map', |
| includeContent: true |
| }); // generates a v3 sourcemap |
| |
| require( 'fs' ).writeFile( 'converted.js', s.toString() ); |
| require( 'fs' ).writeFile( 'converted.js.map', map.toString() ); |
| ``` |
| |
| You can pass an options argument: |
| |
| ```js |
| var s = new MagicString( someCode, { |
| // both these options will be used if you later |
| // call `bundle.addSource( s )` - see below |
| filename: 'foo.js', |
| indentExclusionRanges: [/*...*/] |
| }); |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Methods |
| |
| ### s.addSourcemapLocation( index ) |
| |
| Adds the specified character index (with respect to the original string) to sourcemap mappings, if `hires` is `false` (see below). |
| |
| ### s.append( content ) |
| |
| Appends the specified content to the end of the string. Returns `this`. |
| |
| ### s.appendLeft( index, content ) |
| |
| Appends the specified `content` at the `index` in the original string. If a range *ending* with `index` is subsequently moved, the insert will be moved with it. Returns `this`. See also `s.prependLeft(...)`. |
| |
| ### s.appendRight( index, content ) |
| |
| Appends the specified `content` at the `index` in the original string. If a range *starting* with `index` is subsequently moved, the insert will be moved with it. Returns `this`. See also `s.prependRight(...)`. |
| |
| ### s.clone() |
| |
| Does what you'd expect. |
| |
| ### s.generateDecodedMap( options ) |
| |
| Generates a sourcemap object with raw mappings in array form, rather than encoded as a string. See `generateMap` documentation below for options details. Useful if you need to manipulate the sourcemap further, but most of the time you will use `generateMap` instead. |
| |
| ### s.generateMap( options ) |
| |
| Generates a [version 3 sourcemap](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U1RGAehQwRypUTovF1KRlpiOFze0b-_2gc6fAH0KY0k/edit). All options are, well, optional: |
| |
| * `file` - the filename where you plan to write the sourcemap |
| * `source` - the filename of the file containing the original source |
| * `includeContent` - whether to include the original content in the map's `sourcesContent` array |
| * `hires` - whether the mapping should be high-resolution. Hi-res mappings map every single character, meaning (for example) your devtools will always be able to pinpoint the exact location of function calls and so on. With lo-res mappings, devtools may only be able to identify the correct line - but they're quicker to generate and less bulky. If sourcemap locations have been specified with `s.addSourceMapLocation()`, they will be used here. |
| |
| The returned sourcemap has two (non-enumerable) methods attached for convenience: |
| |
| * `toString` - returns the equivalent of `JSON.stringify(map)` |
| * `toUrl` - returns a DataURI containing the sourcemap. Useful for doing this sort of thing: |
| |
| ```js |
| code += '\n//# sourceMappingURL=' + map.toUrl(); |
| ``` |
| |
| ### s.indent( prefix[, options] ) |
| |
| Prefixes each line of the string with `prefix`. If `prefix` is not supplied, the indentation will be guessed from the original content, falling back to a single tab character. Returns `this`. |
| |
| The `options` argument can have an `exclude` property, which is an array of `[start, end]` character ranges. These ranges will be excluded from the indentation - useful for (e.g.) multiline strings. |
| |
| ### s.insertLeft( index, content ) |
| |
| **DEPRECATED** since 0.17 – use `s.appendLeft(...)` instead |
| |
| ### s.insertRight( index, content ) |
| |
| **DEPRECATED** since 0.17 – use `s.prependRight(...)` instead |
| |
| ### s.locate( index ) |
| |
| **DEPRECATED** since 0.10 – see [#30](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/magic-string/pull/30) |
| |
| ### s.locateOrigin( index ) |
| |
| **DEPRECATED** since 0.10 – see [#30](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/magic-string/pull/30) |
| |
| ### s.move( start, end, newIndex ) |
| |
| Moves the characters from `start` and `end` to `index`. Returns `this`. |
| |
| ### s.overwrite( start, end, content[, options] ) |
| |
| Replaces the characters from `start` to `end` with `content`. The same restrictions as `s.remove()` apply. Returns `this`. |
| |
| The fourth argument is optional. It can have a `storeName` property — if `true`, the original name will be stored for later inclusion in a sourcemap's `names` array — and a `contentOnly` property which determines whether only the content is overwritten, or anything that was appended/prepended to the range as well. |
| |
| ### s.prepend( content ) |
| |
| Prepends the string with the specified content. Returns `this`. |
| |
| ### s.prependLeft ( index, content ) |
| |
| Same as `s.appendLeft(...)`, except that the inserted content will go *before* any previous appends or prepends at `index` |
| |
| ### s.prependRight ( index, content ) |
| |
| Same as `s.appendRight(...)`, except that the inserted content will go *before* any previous appends or prepends at `index` |
| |
| ### s.remove( start, end ) |
| |
| Removes the characters from `start` to `end` (of the original string, **not** the generated string). Removing the same content twice, or making removals that partially overlap, will cause an error. Returns `this`. |
| |
| ### s.slice( start, end ) |
| |
| Returns the content of the generated string that corresponds to the slice between `start` and `end` of the original string. Throws error if the indices are for characters that were already removed. |
| |
| ### s.snip( start, end ) |
| |
| Returns a clone of `s`, with all content before the `start` and `end` characters of the original string removed. |
| |
| ### s.toString() |
| |
| Returns the generated string. |
| |
| ### s.trim([ charType ]) |
| |
| Trims content matching `charType` (defaults to `\s`, i.e. whitespace) from the start and end. Returns `this`. |
| |
| ### s.trimStart([ charType ]) |
| |
| Trims content matching `charType` (defaults to `\s`, i.e. whitespace) from the start. Returns `this`. |
| |
| ### s.trimEnd([ charType ]) |
| |
| Trims content matching `charType` (defaults to `\s`, i.e. whitespace) from the end. Returns `this`. |
| |
| ### s.trimLines() |
| |
| Removes empty lines from the start and end. Returns `this`. |
| |
| ### s.isEmpty() |
| |
| Returns true if the resulting source is empty (disregarding white space). |
| |
| ## Bundling |
| |
| To concatenate several sources, use `MagicString.Bundle`: |
| |
| ```js |
| var bundle = new MagicString.Bundle(); |
| |
| bundle.addSource({ |
| filename: 'foo.js', |
| content: new MagicString( 'var answer = 42;' ) |
| }); |
| |
| bundle.addSource({ |
| filename: 'bar.js', |
| content: new MagicString( 'console.log( answer )' ) |
| }); |
| |
| // Advanced: a source can include an `indentExclusionRanges` property |
| // alongside `filename` and `content`. This will be passed to `s.indent()` |
| // - see documentation above |
| |
| bundle.indent() // optionally, pass an indent string, otherwise it will be guessed |
| .prepend( '(function () {\n' ) |
| .append( '}());' ); |
| |
| bundle.toString(); |
| // (function () { |
| // var answer = 42; |
| // console.log( answer ); |
| // }()); |
| |
| // options are as per `s.generateMap()` above |
| var map = bundle.generateMap({ |
| file: 'bundle.js', |
| includeContent: true, |
| hires: true |
| }); |
| ``` |
| |
| As an alternative syntax, if you a) don't have `filename` or `indentExclusionRanges` options, or b) passed those in when you used `new MagicString(...)`, you can simply pass the `MagicString` instance itself: |
| |
| ```js |
| var bundle = new MagicString.Bundle(); |
| var source = new MagicString( someCode, { |
| filename: 'foo.js' |
| }); |
| |
| bundle.addSource( source ); |
| ``` |
