Testing
tests/exec
All files named exec.js
or exec.ts
will be executed, and the test system will ensure that original source code and transpiled source code print the same output to the console.
You can use ./scripts/check-issues.sh
to automatically unignore fixed tests.
lib.rs
:
The main crate of the swc project.
Customizing
This is documentation for building custom build tools on top of swc.
Dependency version management
swc
has swc_css, which re-exports required modules.
Testing
See [testing] and swc_ecma_transform_testing.
Custom javascript transforms
What is JsWord?
It's basically an interned string. See [swc_atoms].
Choosing between JsWord vs String
You should prefer JsWord over [String] if it's going to be stored in an AST node.
See [swc_atoms] for detailed description.
Fold vs VisitMut vs Visit
See [swc_visit] for detailed description.
Variable management (Scoping)
See [swc_ecma_transforms_base::resolver::resolver_with_mark].
How identifiers work
See the doc on [swc_ecma_ast::Ident] or on [swc_ecma_transforms_base::resolver::resolver_with_mark].
Comparing two identifiers
See [swc_ecma_utils::Id]. You can use [swc_ecma_utils::IdentLike::to_id] to extract important parts of an [swc_ecma_ast::Ident].
Creating a unique identifier
See [swc_ecma_utils::private_ident].
Prepending statements
If you want to prepend statements to the beginning of a file, you can use
[swc_ecma_utils::prepend_stmts] or [swc_ecma_utils::prepend] if len == 1
.
These methods are aware of the fact that "use strict"
directive should be
first in a file, and insert statements after directives.
Improving readability
Each stuffs are documented at itself.
-
If you are creating or binding an [swc_ecma_ast::Expr] with operator, you can use [swc_ecma_ast::op].
-
If you want to create [swc_ecma_ast::CallExpr], you can use [swc_ecma_utils::ExprFactory::as_callee] to create
callee
. -
If you want to create [swc_ecma_ast::CallExpr] or [swc_ecma_ast::NewExpr], you can use [swc_ecma_utils::ExprFactory::as_arg] to create arguments.
-
If you want to create [swc_ecma_ast::MemberExpr] where all identifiers are static (e.g.
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty
), you can use [swc_ecma_utils::member_expr]. -
If you want to create [swc_ecma_ast::MemberExpr], you can use [swc_ecma_utils::ExprFactory::as_obj] to create object field.
Reducing binary size
The visitor expands to a lot of code. You can reduce it by using macros like
Note that this will make typescript-related nodes not processed, but it's
typically fine as typescript::strip
is invoked at the start and it removes
typescript-specific nodes.
Porting expr.evaluate()
of babel
See [swc_ecma_minifier::eval::Evaluator].
