Class RewriteJsonToModule

All Implemented Interfaces:
CompilerPass, NodeTraversal.Callback

public class RewriteJsonToModule extends NodeTraversal.AbstractPostOrderCallback implements CompilerPass
Rewrites a JSON file to be a module export. So that the JSON file parses correctly, it is wrapped in an EXPR_RESULT. The pass makes only basic checks that the file provided is valid JSON. It is not a full JSON validator.

Looks for JSON files named "package.json" so that the "main" property can be used as an alias in module name resolution. See https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#main

  • Constructor Details

    • RewriteJsonToModule

      public RewriteJsonToModule(AbstractCompiler compiler)
      Creates a new RewriteJsonToModule instance which can be used to rewrite JSON files to modules.
      Parameters:
      compiler - The compiler
  • Method Details

    • getPackageJsonMainEntries

      public com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap<String,String> getPackageJsonMainEntries()
    • process

      public void process(Node externs, Node root)
      Module rewriting is done a on per-file basis prior to main compilation. The root node for each file is a SCRIPT - not the typical jsRoot of other passes.
      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 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.
