### Estraverse [](http://travis-ci.org/estools/estraverse)
Estraverse ([estraverse](http://github.com/estools/estraverse)) is
[ECMAScript](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm)
traversal functions from [esmangle project](http://github.com/estools/esmangle).
### Documentation
You can find usage docs at [wiki page](https://github.com/estools/estraverse/wiki/Usage).
### Example Usage
The following code will output all variables declared at the root of a file.
```javascript
estraverse.traverse(ast, {
enter: function (node, parent) {
if (node.type == 'FunctionExpression' || node.type == 'FunctionDeclaration')
return estraverse.VisitorOption.Skip;
},
leave: function (node, parent) {
if (node.type == 'VariableDeclarator')
console.log(node.id.name);
}
});
```
We can use `this.skip`, `this.remove` and `this.break` functions instead of using Skip, Remove and Break.
```javascript
estraverse.traverse(ast, {
enter: function (node) {
this.break();
}
});
```
And estraverse provides `estraverse.replace` function. When returning node from `enter`/`leave`, current node is replaced with it.
```javascript
result = estraverse.replace(tree, {
enter: function (node) {
// Replace it with replaced.
if (node.type === 'Literal')
return replaced;
}
});
```
By passing `visitor.keys` mapping, we can extend estraverse traversing functionality.
```javascript
// This tree contains a user-defined `TestExpression` node.
var tree = {
type: 'TestExpression',
// This 'argument' is the property containing the other **node**.
argument: {
type: 'Literal',
value: 20
},
// This 'extended' is the property not containing the other **node**.
extended: true
};
estraverse.traverse(tree, {
enter: function (node) { },
// Extending the existing traversing rules.
keys: {
// TargetNodeName: [ 'keys', 'containing', 'the', 'other', '**node**' ]
TestExpression: ['argument']
}
});
```
By passing `visitor.fallback` option, we can control the behavior when encountering unknown nodes.
```javascript
// This tree contains a user-defined `TestExpression` node.
var tree = {
type: 'TestExpression',
// This 'argument' is the property containing the other **node**.
argument: {
type: 'Literal',
value: 20
},
// This 'extended' is the property not containing the other **node**.
extended: true
};
estraverse.traverse(tree, {
enter: function (node) { },
// Iterating the child **nodes** of unknown nodes.
fallback: 'iteration'
});
```
When `visitor.fallback` is a function, we can determine which keys to visit on each node.
```javascript
// This tree contains a user-defined `TestExpression` node.
var tree = {
type: 'TestExpression',
// This 'argument' is the property containing the other **node**.
argument: {
type: 'Literal',
value: 20
},
// This 'extended' is the property not containing the other **node**.
extended: true
};
estraverse.traverse(tree, {
enter: function (node) { },
// Skip the `argument` property of each node
fallback: function(node) {
return Object.keys(node).filter(function(key) {
return key !== 'argument';
});
}
});
```
