@babel/traverse

Installโ€‹

npm install --save @babel/traverse

Usageโ€‹

We can use it alongside the babel parser to traverse and update nodes:

JavaScript
import * as parser from "@babel/parser";
import traverse from "@babel/traverse";

const code = `function square(n) {
return n * n;
}`;

const ast = parser.parse(code);

traverse(ast, {
enter(path) {
if (path.isIdentifier({ name: "n" })) {
path.node.name = "x";
}
},
});

Also, we can target particular node types in the Syntax Tree

JavaScript
traverse(ast, {
FunctionDeclaration: function(path) {
path.node.id.name = "x";
},
});
