How to update tree-sitter

Tree-sitter is packaged in a way that makes it difficult to load it up with wds, it is packaged as a CommonJS module (modifying a module.exports object) and as such does not play well with es modules.

The simplest solution I have found is to turn the CommonJS module into an ES module by adding the following at the end of the file:

await TreeSitter.init({
  locateFile(scriptName, scriptDirectory) {
    return "/assets/tree-sitter.wasm";
  }
});
export const Parser = TreeSitter;

This also calls init once, with the proper location of the wasm file.

So to update tree-sitter:

• run npm install --no-save web-tree-sitter (check if that’s the correct version)
• cp node_modules/web-tree-sitter/tree-sitter.wasm assets/
• cp node_modules/web-tree-sitter/tree-sitter-web.d.ts ./tree-sitter.d.ts
• edit tree-sitter.d.ts
  • remove the declare module scope
  • remove the export = Parser
  • add export in front of class Parser
  • add export in front of namespace Parser
• cp node_modules/web-tree-sitter/tree-sitter.js ./

• cat << 'EOF' >> tree-sitter.js
  await TreeSitter.init({
    locateFile(scriptName, scriptDirectory) {
      return "/assets/tree-sitter.wasm";
    }
  });
  export const Parser = TreeSitter;
  EOF
