This syntax allows you to specify whether a type variable can appear in a covariant or contravariant position, and is super useful for, say, Promise. Right now this is hacked in jankily, but in the next major release we should stop using Identifier nodes for type parameters.
babel-generator
Turns an AST into code.
Install
$ npm install babel-generator
Usage
import {parse} from 'babylon';
import generate from 'babel-generator';
const code = 'class Example {}';
const ast = parse(code);
const output = generate(ast, { /* options */ }, code);
Options
Options for formatting output:
| name | type | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| auxiliaryCommentBefore | string | Optional string to add as a block comment at the start of the output file | |
| auxiliaryCommentAfter | string | Optional string to add as a block comment at the end of the output file | |
| shouldPrintComment | function | opts.comments |
Function that takes a comment (as a string) and returns true if the comment should be included in the output. By default, comments are included if opts.comments is true or if opts.minifed is false and the comment contains @preserve or @license |
| retainLines | boolean | false |
Attempt to use the same line numbers in the output code as in the source code (helps preserve stack traces) |
| comments | boolean | true |
Should comments be included in output |
| compact | boolean or 'auto' |
opts.minified |
Set to true to avoid adding whitespace for formatting |
| minified | boolean | false |
Should the output be minified |
| concise | boolean | false |
Set to true to reduce whitespace (but not as much as opts.compact) |
| quotes | 'single' or 'double' |
autodetect based on ast.tokens |
The type of quote to use in the output |
| filename | string | Used in warning messages |
Options for source maps:
| name | type | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|

Enable generating source maps |
| sourceMapTarget | string | The filename of the generated code that the source map will be associated with | |
| sourceRoot | string | A root for all relative URLs in the source map | |
| sourceFileName | string | The filename for the source code (i.e. the code in the code argument) |
