Parse / Generate Method Signatures

Install

$ npm install --save call-signature

Usage

var signature = require('call-signature');

// parse a call signature definition
var parsed = signature.parse('t.equal(expected, actual, [message])');

console.log(parsed);
/* =>  
       {
         callee: {
           type: 'MemberExpression',
           object: 't',
           member: 'equal'
         },
         args: [
           {
             name: 'actual',
             optional: false
           },
           {
             name: 'expected',
             optional: false
           },
           {
             name: 'message',
             optional: true
           }
         ]
       }

// Create signature definitions from the parsed object.
signature.generate(parsed);

//=> "t.equal(expected, actual, [message])"

API

callSignature.parse(input)

input

Type: string

A string that matches the call signature spec:

object.member(required_arg1, required_arg2, [optional_arg1]) name(required_arg1, required_arg2, [optional_arg1])

object, member and name can be any identifiers, but currently the callee must be a MemberExpression or an Identifier (that requirement may loosen in the future).

You can have any number of arguments. Optional arguments are denoted by placing the argument name between square [brackets].

returns

A simple JS Object with three properties callee and args.

callee will be an object containing type property and its corresponding properties.

when matched against MemberExpression like foo.bar(baz), object and member will be strings.

callee: {
  type: 'MemberExpression',
  object: 'foo',
  member: 'bar'
}

when matched against Identifier like foo(baz), name will be string.

callee: {
  type: 'Identifier',
  name: 'foo'
}

args will be an array. Each item of the array will have two properties name, and optional. name will be the string name of the arg. optional will be a boolean value.

callSignature.generate(parsed)

input

Type: Object

Must have the same definition as the return value from the parse method.

returns

A string signature definition that will parse to exactly the provided input.
