EXAMPLE
---------------------------------------
Creating CallExpression matcher for method signature `'assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])'`.
Then match against `path/to/some_test.js`.
```javascript
var escallmatch = require('escallmatch');
var esprima = require('esprima');
var estraverse = require('estraverse');
var fs = require('fs');
var matcher = escallmatch('assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])');
estraverse.traverse(esprima.parse(fs.readFileSync('path/to/some_test.js')), {
enter: function (currentNode, parentNode) {
if (matcher.test(currentNode)) {
// currentNode is a CallExpression that matches to the signature
}
var argMatched = matcher.matchArgument(currentNode, parentNode);
if (argMatched) {
if (argMatched.kind === 'mandatory') {
// mandatory arg (in this case, `actual` or `expected`)
} else if (argMatched.kind === 'optional') {
// optional arg (in this case, `message`)
}
}
}
});
```
where content of `path/to/some_test.js` is:
```javascript
var assert = require('assert');
var anotherAssert = assert;
var equal = assert.equal.bind(assert);
var foo = '2';
var bar = 2;
assert.equal(foo, bar); // matches
assert.equal(bar, foo); // matches
assert.equal(foo, bar, 'foo shoule be equal to bar'); // matches (with optional arg)
assert.equal(); // does not match (less args)
assert.equal(foo); // does not match (less args)
assert.equal(foo, bar, 'hoge', 'fuga'); // does not match (too much args)
assert.notEqual(foo, bar); // does not match (callee method name differs)
anotherAssert.equal(foo, bar); // does not match (callee object name differs)
equal(foo, bar); // does not match (callee does not match)
```

API
---------------------------------------
### var matcher = escallmatch(signatureStr, [options])
Create matcher object for a given function/method signature string.
```javascript
var matcher = escallmatch('assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])');
```
Any arguments enclosed in bracket (for example, `[message]`) means optional parameters. Without bracket means mandatory parameters.
Returns `matcher` object having four methods, `test`, `matchArgument`, `calleeAst`, and `argumentSignatures`.
#### options
an `object` for configuration options. If not passed, default options will be used.
#### options.visitorKeys
| type | default value |
|:---------|:--------------|
| `object` | (return value of `estraverse.VisitorKeys`) |
VisitorKeys for AST traversal. See [estraverse.VisitorKeys](https://github.com/estools/estraverse/blob/4.0.0/estraverse.js#L217-L288) and [babel.types.VISITOR_KEYS](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/v5.1.11/src/babel/types/visitor-keys.json).
#### options.astWhiteList
| type | default value |
|:---------|:--------------|
| `object` | N/A |
Type and property whitelist on creating AST clone. `astWhiteList` is an object containing NodeType as keys and properties as values.
```js
{
ArrayExpression: ['type', 'elements'],
ArrayPattern: ['type', 'elements'],
ArrowFunctionExpression: ['type', 'id', 'params', 'body', 'generator', 'expression'],
AssignmentExpression: ['type', 'operator', 'left', 'right'],
...
```
### var isMatched = matcher.test(node)
Tests whether `node` matches the signature or not.
- Returns `true` if matched.
- Returns `false` if not matched.
`node` should be an AST node object defined in [Mozilla JavaScript AST spec](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/Parser_API).
### var argMatched = matcher.matchArgument(node, parentNode)
Returns match result object representing whether `node` (and its `parentNode`) matches some argument of the signature or not.
- Returns `null` if not matched.
- If matched, returns object like `{name: 'actual', kind: 'mandatory'}`, whose `name` is an argument name in the signature and `kind` is `'mandatory'` or `'optional'`.
`node` and `parentNode` should be AST node objects defined in [Mozilla JavaScript AST spec](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/Parser_API).
### var calleeAst = matcher.calleeAst()
Returns clone of callee AST object based on signature passed to `escallmatch` function. Returned tree is one of AST node objects defined in [Mozilla JavaScript AST spec](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/Parser_API) (in most cases, `Identifier` or `MemberExpression`).
### var argSigs = matcher.argumentSignatures()
Returns array of argument signature objects based on signature passed to `escallmatch` function. Returns array of objects like `[{name: 'actual', kind: 'mandatory'}]`, whose `name` is an argument name in the signature and `kind` is `'mandatory'` or `'optional'`.
