EcmaScript/TypeScript parser for the rust programming language.
# Features
## Heavily tested
Passes almost all tests from [tc39/test262][].
## Error reporting
```sh
error: 'implements', 'interface', 'let', 'package', 'private', 'protected', 'public', 'static', or 'yield' cannot be used as an identifier in strict mode
--> invalid.js:3:10
|
3 | function yield() {
| ^^^^^
```
## Error recovery
The parser can recover from some parsing errors. For example, parser returns
`Ok(Module)` for the code below, while emitting error to handler.
```ts
const CONST = 9000 % 2;
const enum D {
// Comma is required, but parser can recover because of the newline.
d = 10
g = CONST
}
```
# Example (lexer)
See `lexer.rs` in examples directory.
# Example (parser)
```
#[macro_use]
extern crate swc_common;
extern crate swc_ecma_parser;
use swc_common::sync::Lrc;
use swc_common::{
errors::{ColorConfig, Handler},
FileName, FilePathMapping, SourceMap,
};
use swc_ecma_parser::{lexer::Lexer, Parser, StringInput, Syntax};
fn main() {
let cm: Lrc = Default::default();
let handler =
Handler::with_tty_emitter(ColorConfig::Auto, true, false,
Some(cm.clone()));
// Real usage
// let fm = cm
// .load_file(Path::new("test.js"))
// .expect("failed to load test.js");
let fm = cm.new_source_file(
FileName::Custom("test.js".into()).into(),
"function foo() {}".into(),
);
let lexer = Lexer::new(
// We want to parse ecmascript
Syntax::Es(Default::default()),
// EsVersion defaults to es5
Default::default(),
StringInput::from(&*fm),
None,
);
let mut parser = Parser::new_from(lexer);
for e in parser.take_errors() {
e.into_diagnostic(&handler).emit();
}
let _module = parser
.parse_module()
.map_err(|mut e| {
// Unrecoverable fatal error occurred
e.into_diagnostic(&handler).emit()
})
.expect("failed to parser module");
}
```
## Cargo features
### `typescript`
Enables typescript parser.
### `verify`
Verify more errors, using `swc_ecma_visit`.
## Known issues
### Null character after `\`
Because [String] of rust should only contain valid utf-8 characters while
javascript allows non-utf8 characters, the parser stores invalid utf8
characters in escaped form.
As a result, swc needs a way to distinguish invalid-utf8 code points and
input specified by the user. The parser stores a null character right after
`\\` for non-utf8 code points. Note that other parts of swc is aware of this
fact.
Note that this can be changed at anytime with a breaking change.
