Transformations, pattern matching, substitution, reification. The gist of the library is that you can reify pure javascript functions seamlessly to abstract syntax trees.
var src = astjs.reify.reify(function block() {
var a = 1;
var b = 2;
})
The format we use is the one used by Esprima.
Reifying just regular functions is maybe not so useful but we can also
reify pattern functions i.e. functions which contains splice variables denoted by $[0-9]+.
var pattern = astjs.reify.pattern(function block() {
var a = $1;
var $2 = 2;
}
This pattern can be used for pattern matching in AST trees, mapping of AST trees or as a place where you just substitute some AST values in to the splice variables.
