bigcode-astgen v0.2.1

bigcode-astgen-js

Generate JavaScript files AST in a format compatible with 150k JavaScript Dataset.

Installation

This package can be with npm by running

npm i -g bigcode-astgen

or by fetching this repository and running

cd bigcode-astgen/javascript
npm i -g .

CLI usage

bigcode-astgen-js -o <output> <input>

<input> should be a file, or a glob expression to files.

Normal mode

In normal mode, <input> is interpreted as a filename and the resulting AST is outputed in <output> if provided, else printed to stdout.

Batch mode

In batch mode, <input> is interpreted as a glob, and all matching files are parsed. <output> is a prefix and <output>.json, <output>.txt and <output>_failed.txt files will be created.

• <output>.json - contains a JSON formatted AST per line
• <output>.txt - contains a filename per line, in the same order as <output>.json
• <output>_failed.txt - contains a filename per line, with the reason why it could not be parsed

Quote your glob pattern so that it is not expanded by your shell.

Example

Normal mode

bigcode-astgen-js index.js

parse index.js and output the result to stdout.

Batch mode

bigcode-astgen-js --batch -o result/asts "src/**/*.js"

parse all .js files in src directory and output results in the result directory with the prefix asts as asts.json, asts.txt and asts_failed.txt.
