Class LateEs6ToEs3Converter

java.lang.Object

com.google.javascript.jscomp.LateEs6ToEs3Converter

All Implemented Interfaces:

CompilerPass, NodeTraversal.Callback

public final class LateEs6ToEs3Converter
extends java.lang.Object
implements NodeTraversal.Callback, CompilerPass

Converts ES6 code to valid ES5 code. This class does most of the transpilation, and https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/ECMAScript6 lists which ES6 features are supported. Other classes that start with "Es6" do other parts of the transpilation.

In most cases, the output is valid as ES3 (hence the class name) but in some cases, if the output language is set to ES5, we rely on ES5 features such as getters, setters, and Object.defineProperties.

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

shouldTraverse

public boolean shouldTraverse(NodeTraversal t,
                              Node n,
                              Node parent)

Description copied from interface: NodeTraversal.Callback

Visits a node in preorder (before its children) and decides whether the node and its children should be traversed.

If this method returns true, the node will be visited by NodeTraversal.Callback.visit(NodeTraversal, Node, Node) in postorder and its children will be visited by both NodeTraversal.Callback.shouldTraverse(NodeTraversal, Node, Node) in preorder and by NodeTraversal.Callback.visit(NodeTraversal, Node, Node) in postorder.

If this method returns false, the node will not be visited by NodeTraversal.Callback.visit(NodeTraversal, Node, Node) and its children will neither be visited by NodeTraversal.Callback.shouldTraverse(NodeTraversal, Node, Node) nor NodeTraversal.Callback.visit(NodeTraversal, Node, Node).

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:

shouldTraverse in interface NodeTraversal.Callback

Parameters:

t - The current traversal.

n - The current node.

parent - The parent of the current node.

Returns:

whether the children of this node should be visited

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 and itself. 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.
