# is-reference
|
||
|
|
||
|
Utility for determining whether an AST node is a reference.
|
||
|
|
||
|
`foo` is a reference in these cases:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
console.log(foo);
|
||
|
var foo;
|
||
|
function foo() {}
|
||
|
function bar(foo) {}
|
||
|
export { foo as x };
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
`foo` is *not* a reference in these cases:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var obj = { foo: 1 };
|
||
|
console.log(obj.foo);
|
||
|
export { x as foo };
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
In all cases, `foo` is an `Identifier` node, but the two kinds must be treated differently for the purposes of scope analysis etc. (The examples are non-exhaustive.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
npm install is-reference
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example using [Acorn](https://github.com/ternjs/acorn) and [estree-walker](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/estree-walker):
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
import { parse } from 'acorn';
|
||
|
import { walk } from 'estree-walker';
|
||
|
import is_reference from 'is-reference';
|
||
|
|
||
|
const identifiers = [];
|
||
|
const references = [];
|
||
|
|
||
|
const ast = parse(`var a = b.c;`);
|
||
|
|
||
|
walk(ast, {
|
||
|
enter(node, parent) {
|
||
|
if (node.type === 'Identifier') identifiers.push(node);
|
||
|
if (is_reference(node, parent)) references.push(node);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
identifiers.forEach(node => console.log(node.name)); // a, b, c
|
||
|
references.forEach(node => console.log(node.name)); // a, b
|
||
|
```
