Usage

esvalid.isValid(node) :: Spidermonkey AST Node → Boolean

Returns true if and only if the given AST node represents a valid ECMAScript program.

esvalid.isValidExpression(node) :: Spidermonkey AST Node → Boolean

Returns true if and only if the given AST node represents a valid ECMAScript expression.

esvalid.errors(node) :: Spidermonkey AST Node → [InvalidAstError]

Returns an array of InvalidAstError objects representing the errors in the given AST. An effort is made to continue collecting errors in the face of malformed ASTs. If an empty array is returned, it is implied that the given AST node is error free.

new esvalid.InvalidAstError(node, message) :: Node -> String -> InvalidAstError

Constructs a new InvalidAstError instance. node must be non-null.

Example
var esvalid = require("esvalid");
var esprima = require("esprima");

var program = esprima.parse(fs.readFileSync(require.resolve("esprima")));
esvalid.isValid(program); // true

esvalid.isValid({type: "Program", body: []}); // true
esvalid.isValid({type: "Program", body: null}); // false

esvalid.isValidExpression({type: "Program", body: []}); // false
esvalid.isValidExpression({type: "Literal", value: 0}); // true

esvalid.errors({type: "Program", body: []}); // []
var error = esvalid.errors({type: "Program", body: null})[0];
error instanceof esvalid.InvalidAstError; // true
error.node; // {type: "Program", body: null}
error.message; // "Program `body` member must be non-null"
