acorn-es7-plugin

acorn-es7-plugin is a plugin for the Acorn parser that generates ESTrees following the 'experimental' specification for asynchronous functions.

npm install --save acorn-es7-plugin

Usage

Adding the plugin

// Require acorn as usual
var acorn = require("acorn");
// Add the es7-plugin
require('./acorn-es7-plugin')(acorn) ;

Using the plugin

var code = "async function x(){ if (x) return await(x-1) ; return 0 ; }\n";
var ast = acorn.parse(code,{
    // Specify use of the plugin
    plugins:{asyncawait:true},
    // Specify the ecmaVersion
    ecmaVersion:7
}) ;
// Show the AST
console.log(JSON.stringify(ast,null,2)) ;

Options & Compliance

The parser attempts to enforce strict contextualisation of async and await. Specifically, async is only a keyword if it precedes a function declaration, function expression or arrow function. await is only a keyword inside an async function. Outside of these contexts, both tokens are treated as identifiers (as they were in ES6 and earlier).

When using the plugin, you can supply an object in place of the 'true' flag with the following options.

flag	meaning
awaitAnywhere	If await is used outside of an async function and could not be an identifier, generate an AwaitExpression node. This typically means you can use await anywhere except when its argument would require parentheses, as this parses to a call to 'await(....)'. Should not be used with inAsyncFunction option
inAsyncFunction	Parse the code as if it is the body of an async function. This means await cannot be an identifier and is always an AwaitExpression, even if the argument is parenthesized. Should not be used with the awaitAnywhere option
asyncExits	Allow the additional sequences async return <optional-expression> and async throw <expression>. These sequences are used with nodent. In each case, as with async functions, a standard ReturnStatement (or ThrowStatement) node is generated, with an additional member 'async' set to true.

The parser also accepts async getters in object literals and classes, which is currently disallowed by the ES7 specification.

Changelog

30-Mar-17: v1.1.7

• Fix parsing of IIAFE (async function (){ }()) with acorn v3.

07-Oct-16: v1.1.1

• Fix disambiguation of async, get and set tokens (and add tests) when defining object properties:

Code	Interpretation
get async(){}	Is a standard ES6 getter called 'async'
set async(v){}	Is a standard ES6 setter called 'async'
async get(...){}	Is a standard ES7 async method called 'get'
async set(...){}	Is a standard ES7 async method called 'set'
async get x(){}	Is an extension that defines an async getter called 'x'
get async x(){}	Is an extension that defines an async getter called 'x', but is deprecated (async should proceed get)

In previous version of the plugin, the standard ES7 constructs were hidden by the plugin extensions and a SyntaxError was incorrectly thrown

25-Sep-16: v1.1.0

• Update to work with acorn v4 if present. Note that async and await are fully parsed by acorn v4. The only use case for the plugin with acorn v4 is with the flags above which are enable specific parsing modes.

24-Sep-16: v1.0.18

• Correctly parse async(()=>0) as a call to the Identifer 'async', not a failed attempt to define an async arrow.

20-Jul-16: v1.0.17

• Correctly set non-standard "range" property on async nodes, as used by Webpack

27-Jun-16: v1.0.15

• Fix issue parsing async methods in classes and object literals which (incorrectly) required the awaitAnywhere option (see https://github.com/MatAtBread/acorn-es7-plugin/issues/12)

03-May-16: v1.0.14

• Correctly parse async statements containing comments.
• Implement the option inAsyncFunction

03-May-16: v1.0.13

• Correctly parse the statement export async function name(){...} as async function name(){...} is a valid named declaration.

26-Feb-16: v1.0.12

• Updated to return the original acorn object on installation. See https://github.com/MatAtBread/acorn-es7-plugin/pull/4

19-Dec-15: v1.0.11

• Generate error if 'await' is used as an identifier within an async function.

10-Dec-15: v1.0.10

• Update the plugin code to remove 'async' and 'await' from the super-strict keyword tests introduced in acorn v2.6.x that generate parse errors before the plugin gets a chance to manage them.
