Parser API

Example:

> var expr = Reflect.parse("obj.foo + 42").body[0].expression
> expr.left.property
({loc:null, type:"Identifier", name:"foo"})
> expr.right
({loc:{source:null, start:{line:1, column:10}, end:{line:1, column:12}}, type:"Literal", value:42})

It is also available since Firefox 7; it can be imported into the global object via:

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/reflect.jsm") 

or into a specified object via:

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/reflect.jsm", obj)

Built-in objects

Whether in SpiderMonkey shell or Firefox (after importing), the global singleton object Reflect currently contains just the parse method.

Properties of the Reflect object

The Reflect object currently consists of a single method.

Reflect.parse(src[, options])

Coerces src to a string and parses the result as a JavaScript program. By default, the parsing returns a Program object (see below) representing the parsed abstract syntax tree (AST).

Additional options may be provided via the options object, which can include any of the following properties:

If parsing fails due to a syntax error, an instance of SyntaxError is thrown. The syntax error object thrown by Reflect.parse() has the same message property as the syntax error that would be thrown by eval(src). The lineNumber and fileName properties of the syntax error object indicate the source location of the syntax error.

Node objects

By default, Reflect.parse() produces Node objects, which are plain JavaScript objects (i.e., their prototype derives from the standard Object prototype). All node types implement the following interface:

interface Node {
    type: string;
    loc: SourceLocation | null;
}

The type field is a string representing the AST variant type. Each subtype of Node is documented below with the specific string of its type field. You can use this field to determine which interface a node implements.

The loc field represents the source location information of the node. If the parser produced no information about the node's source location, the field is null; otherwise it is an object consisting of a start position (the position of the first character of the parsed source region) and an end position (the position of the first character after the parsed source region):

interface SourceLocation {
    source: string | null;
    start: Position;
    end: Position;
} 

Each Position object consists of a line number (1-indexed) and a column number (0-indexed):

interface Position {
    line: uint32 >= 1;
    column: uint32 >= 0;
}

Programs

interface Program <: Node {
    type: "Program";
    body: [ Statement ];
}

A complete program source tree.

Functions

interface Function <: Node {
    id: Identifier | null;
    params: [ Pattern ];

    rest: Identifier | null;
    body: BlockStatement | Expression;
    generator: boolean;
    expression: boolean;
}

A function declaration or expression. The body of the function may be a block statement, or in the case of an expression closure, an expression.

If the generator flag is true, the function is a generator function, i.e., contains a yield expression in its body (other than in a nested function).

If the expression flag is true, the function is an expression closure and the body field is an expression.

Patterns

interface Pattern <: Node { }

JavaScript 1.7 introduced destructuring assignment and binding forms. All binding forms (such as function parameters, variable declarations, and catch block headers) accept array and object destructuring patterns in addition to plain identifiers. The left-hand sides of assignment expressions can be arbitrary expressions, but in the case where the expression is an object or array literal, it is interpreted by SpiderMonkey as a destructuring pattern.

Since the left-hand side of an assignment can in general be any expression, in an assignment context, a pattern can be any expression. In binding positions (such as function parameters, variable declarations, and catch headers), patterns can only be identifiers in the base case, not arbitrary expressions.

interface ObjectPattern <: Pattern {
    type: "ObjectPattern";
    properties: [ { key: Literal | Identifier, value: Pattern } ];
}

An object-destructuring pattern. A literal property in an object pattern can have either a string or number as its value.

Clauses

interface CatchClause <: Node {
    type: "CatchClause";
    param: Pattern;
    guard: Expression | null;
    body: BlockStatement;
}

A catch clause following a try block. The optional guard property corresponds to the optional expression guard on the bound variable.

interface ComprehensionBlock <: Node {
    type: "ComprehensionBlock";
    left: Pattern;
    right: Expression;
    each: boolean;
}

    type: "ComprehensionIf";

}

Builder objects

The optional builder parameter to Reflect.parse() makes it possible to construct user-specified data from the parser, rather than the default Node objects. Builder objects may contain any of the callback methods described in this section.

Each callback can produce any custom, user-defined datatype; these are referred to below as CustomExpression, CustomStatement, etc.

If the loc option is enabled (see the Reflect.parse() options above), then each callback is provided with the source location information of the parsed node as an extra parameter.

All builder callbacks are optional. When a callback is missing, the default format is used, but the provided builder methods are still used recursively for sub-nodes.
