Package com.google.javascript.jscomp.lint

Class CheckPrimitiveAsObject

java.lang.Object

com.google.javascript.jscomp.NodeTraversal.AbstractPostOrderCallback

com.google.javascript.jscomp.lint.CheckPrimitiveAsObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

CompilerPass, NodeTraversal.Callback

public final class CheckPrimitiveAsObject
extends NodeTraversal.AbstractPostOrderCallback
implements CompilerPass

Check for explicit creation of the object equivalents of primitive types (e.g. Boolean instead of boolean) and their use in type declarations.

Using these is confusing and gives no benefit. For example, the result of typeof (new Boolean(true)) is "object". and the result of (new Boolean(false)) ? "true" : "false" is "true".

Method Detail

process

public void process(Node externs,
                    Node root)

Description copied from interface: CompilerPass

Process the JS with root node root. Can modify the contents of each Node tree

Specified by:

process in interface CompilerPass

Parameters:

externs - Top of external JS tree

root - Top of JS tree

visit

public void visit(NodeTraversal t,
                  Node n,
                  Node parent)

Description copied from interface: NodeTraversal.Callback

Visits a node in postorder (after its children). A node is visited in postorder iff NodeTraversal.Callback.shouldTraverse(NodeTraversal, Node, Node) returned true for its parent. In particular, the root node is never visited in postorder.

Siblings are always visited left-to-right.

Implementations can have side-effects (e.g. modify the parse tree). Removing the current node is legal, but removing or reordering nodes above the current node may cause nodes to be visited twice or not at all.

Specified by:

visit in interface NodeTraversal.Callback

Parameters:

t - The current traversal.

n - The current node.

parent - The parent of the current node.
