# is-reference
|
|
|
|
Utility for determining whether an AST node is a reference.
|
|
|
|
`foo` is a reference in these cases:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
console.log( foo );
|
|
var foo;
|
|
function foo () {}
|
|
function bar ( foo ) {}
|
|
export { foo as x };
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`foo` is *not* a reference in these cases:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var obj = { foo: 1 };
|
|
console.log( obj.foo );
|
|
export { x as foo };
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In all cases, `foo` is an `Identifier` node, but the two kinds must be treated differently for the purposes of scope analysis etc. (The examples are non-exhaustive.)
|

|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install is-reference
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Example using [Acorn](https://github.com/ternjs/acorn) and [estree-walker](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/estree-walker):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const { parse } = require( 'acorn' );
|
|
const { walk } = require( 'estree-walker' );
|
|
const isReference = require( 'is-reference' );
|
|
|
|
const identifiers = [];
|
|
const references = [];
|
|
|
|
const ast = parse( `var a = b.c;` );
|
|
|
|
walk( ast, {
|
|
enter ( node, parent ) {
|
|
if ( node.type === 'Identifier' ) identifiers.push( node );
|
|
if ( isReference( node, parent ) ) references.push( node );
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
identifiers.forEach( node => console.log( node.name ) ); // a, b, c
|
|
references.forEach( node => console.log( node.name ) ); // a, b
|
|
```
