TypeScript ESTree

A parser that converts TypeScript source code into an ESTree-compatible form

CI NPM Version NPM Downloads

Getting Started

You can find our Getting Started docs here

About

This parser is somewhat generic and robust, and could be used to power any use-case which requires taking TypeScript source code and producing an ESTree-compatible AST.

In fact, it is already used within these hyper-popular open-source projects to power their TypeScript support:

  • ESLint, the pluggable linting utility for JavaScript and JSX
  • Prettier, an opinionated code formatter

Installation

yarn add -D @typescript-eslint/typescript-estree

API

Parsing

parse(code, options)

Parses the given string of code with the options provided and returns an ESTree-compatible AST.

interface ParseOptions {
  /**
   * create a top-level comments array containing all comments
   */
  comment?: boolean;

  /**
   * An array of modules to turn explicit debugging on for.
   * - 'typescript-eslint' is the same as setting the env var `DEBUG=typescript-eslint:*`
   * - 'eslint' is the same as setting the env var `DEBUG=eslint:*`
   * - 'typescript' is the same as setting `extendedDiagnostics: true` in your tsconfig compilerOptions
   *
   * For convenience, also supports a boolean:
   * - true === ['typescript-eslint']
   * - false === []
   */
  debugLevel?: boolean | ('typescript-eslint' | 'eslint' | 'typescript')[];

  /**
   * Cause the parser to error if it encounters an unknown AST node type (useful for testing).
   * This case only usually occurs when TypeScript releases new features.

  /**

   *
   * NOTE: this setting does not effect known file types (.js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx, .json) because the
   * TypeScript compiler has its own internal handling for known file extensions.
   *
   * For the exact behavior, see https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/tree/master/packages/parser#parseroptionsecmafeaturesjsx

parseAndGenerateServices(code, options)

Parses the given string of code with the options provided and returns an ESTree-compatible AST. Accepts additional options which can be used to generate type information along with the AST.

  project: './tsconfig.json',
  range: true,
});

parseWithNodeMaps(code, options)

Parses the given string of code with the options provided and returns both the ESTree-compatible AST as well as the node maps. This allows you to work with both ASTs without the overhead of types that may come with parseAndGenerateServices.

interface ParseWithNodeMapsResult<T extends TSESTreeOptions> {
  ast: TSESTree.Program;
  esTreeNodeToTSNodeMap: ParserServices['esTreeNodeToTSNodeMap'];
  tsNodeToESTreeNodeMap: ParserServices['tsNodeToESTreeNodeMap'];
}

declare function parseWithNodeMaps(
  code: string,
  options: ParseOptions = PARSE_DEFAULT_OPTIONS,
): ParseWithNodeMapsResult;

Example usage:

import { parseWithNodeMaps } from '@typescript-eslint/typescript-estree';

const code = `const hello: string = 'world';`;
const { ast, esTreeNodeToTSNodeMap, tsNodeToESTreeNodeMap } = parseWithNodeMaps(
  code,
  {
    loc: true,
    range: true,
  },
);

TSESTree, AST_NODE_TYPES and AST_TOKEN_TYPES

Types for the AST produced by the parse functions.

  • TSESTree is a namespace which contains object types representing all of the AST Nodes produced by the parser.
  • AST_NODE_TYPES is an enum which provides the values for every single AST node's type property.
  • AST_TOKEN_TYPES is an enum which provides the values for every single AST token's type property.

Supported TypeScript Version

See the Supported TypeScript Version section in the project root.

If you use a non-supported version of TypeScript, the parser will log a warning to the console.

Please ensure that you are using a supported version before submitting any issues/bug reports.

Reporting Issues

Please check the current list of open and known issues and ensure the issue has not been reported before. When creating a new issue provide as much information about your environment as possible. This includes:

  • TypeScript version
  • The typescript-estree version

AST Alignment Tests

A couple of years after work on this parser began, the TypeScript Team at Microsoft began officially supporting TypeScript parsing via Babel.

I work closely with the TypeScript Team and we are gradually aligning the AST of this project with the one produced by Babel's parser. To that end, I have created a full test harness to compare the ASTs of the two projects which runs on every PR, please see the code for more details.

Debugging

If you encounter a bug with the parser that you want to investigate, you can turn on the debug logging via setting the environment variable: DEBUG=typescript-eslint:*. I.e. in this repo you can run: DEBUG=typescript-eslint:* yarn lint.

License

TypeScript ESTree inherits from the the original TypeScript ESLint Parser license, as the majority of the work began there. It is licensed under a permissive BSD 2-clause license.
