Walk and transform a Pug AST


Installation

npm install pug-walk

Usage

``js
var walk = require('pug-walk');
`

$3

Traverse and optionally transform a Pug AST.

ast is not cloned, so any changes done to it will be done directly on the AST provided.

before and after are functions with the signature (node, replace). before is called when a node is first seen, while after is called after the children of the node (if any) have already been traversed.

The replace parameter is a function that can be used to replace the node in the AST. It takes either an object or an array as its only parameter. If an object is specified, the current node is replaced by the parameter in the AST. If an array is specified and the ancestor of the current node allows such an operation, the node is replaced by all of the nodes in the specified array. This way, you can remove and add new nodes adjacent to the current node. Whether the parent node allows array operation is indicated by the property replace.arrayAllowed, which is set to true when the parent is a Block and when the parent is a Include and the node is an IncludeFilter.

If before returns false, the children of this node will not be traversed and left unchanged (unless replace has been called). Otherwise, the returned value of before is ignored. The returned value of after is always ignored. If replace() is called in before() with an array, and before() does not return false, the nodes in the array are still descended.

options can contain the following properties:

* includeDependencies (boolean): Walk the AST of a loaded dependent file (i.e., includes and extends). Defaults to false.
* parents (array): Nodes that are ancestors to the current ast. This option is used mainly internally, and users usually do not have to specify it. Defaults to [].

`js
var lex = require('pug-lexer');
var parse = require('pug-parser');

// Changing content of all Text nodes
// ==================================

var source = '.my-class foo';
var dest = '.my-class bar';

var ast = parse(lex(source));

ast = walk(ast, function before(node, replace) {
if (node.type === 'Text') {
node.val = 'bar';

// Alternatively, you can replace the entire node
// rather than just the text.
// replace({ type: 'Text', val: 'bar', line: node.line });
}
}, {
includeDependencies: true
});

assert.deepEqual(parse(lex(dest)), ast);

// Convert all simple elements to text
// ============================================

var source = 'p abc #[strong NO]\nstrong on its own line';
var dest = 'p abc #[| NO]\n| on its own line';

var ast = parse(lex(source));

ast = walk(ast, function before(node, replace) {
// Find all tags
if (node.type === 'Tag' && node.name === 'strong') {
var children = node.block.nodes;

// Make sure that the Tag only has one child -- the text
if (children.length === 1 && children[0].type === 'Text') {
// Replace the Tag with the Text
replace({ type: 'Text', val: children[0].val, line: node.line });
}
}
}, {
includeDependencies: true
});

assert.deepEqual(parse(lex(dest)), ast);

// Flatten blocks
// ==============

var ast = {
type: 'Block',
nodes: [
{ type: 'Text', val: 'a' },
{
type: 'Block',
nodes: [
{ type: 'Text', val: 'b' },
{
type: 'Block',
nodes: [ { type: 'Text', val: 'c' } ]
},
{ type: 'Text', val: 'd' }
]
},
{ type: 'Text', val: 'e' }
]
};

var dest = {
type: 'Block',
nodes: [
{ type: 'Text', val: 'a' },
{ type: 'Text', val: 'b' },
{ type: 'Text', val: 'c' },
{ type: 'Text', val: 'd' },
{ type: 'Text', val: 'e' }
]
};

// We need to use after handler instead of before
// handler because we want to flatten the innermost
// blocks first before proceeding onto outer blocks.

ast = walk(ast, null, function after(node, replace) {
if (node.type === 'Block' && replace.arrayAllowed) {
// Replace the block with its contents
replace(node.nodes);
}
});

assert.deepEqual(dest, ast);
