docast x unified plugin to add support for parsing docblock comments.
This package is a unified plugin that defines how to take docblock input and turn it into a syntax tree.
This plugin adds support to unified for parsing docblock comments. If you don’t use plugins and want to
access the syntax tree directly, you can use docast-util-from-docs
instead.
You can also combine this plugin with other unified plugins to add extensions for parsing markdown in docblock comments.
Notable packages include remark-directive
, remark-gfm
, and
remark-math
.
This package is ESM only.
In Node.js (version 18+) with yarn:
yarn add @flex-development/docast-parse
yarn add -D @flex-development/docast @types/mdast @types/unist micromark-util-types
See Git - Protocols | Yarn for details regarding installing from Git.
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import docastParse from 'https://esm.sh/@flex-development/docast-parse'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import docastParse from 'https://esm.sh/@flex-development/docast-parse'
</script>
Say we have the following TypeScript file fibonacci-sequence.ts
:
/**
* @file FibonacciSequence
* @module FibonacciSequence
* @see https://codewars.com/kata/55695bc4f75bbaea5100016b
*/
/**
* Fibonacci sequence iterator.
*
* :::info
* A fibonacci sequence starts with two `1`s. Every element afterwards is the
* sum of the two previous elements:
* ```txt
* 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ..., 89, 144, 233, 377, ...
* ```
* :::
*
* @implements {Iterator<number, number>}
*/
class FibonacciSequence implements Iterator<number, number> {
/**
* First managed sequence value.
*
* @public
* @instance
* @member {number} fib1
*/
public fib1: number
/**
* Second managed sequence value.
*
* @public
* @instance
* @member {number} fib2
*/
public fib2: number
/**
* Max sequence value.
*
* @private
* @instance
* @member {number} max
*/
readonly #max: number
/**
* Create a new fibonacci sequence iterator.
*
* @param {number} [max=Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER] - Max sequence value
*/
constructor(max: number = Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER) {
this.#max = max < 0 ? 0 : max
this.fib1 = this.fib2 = 1
}
/**
* Iterable protocol.
*
* @public
* @instance
*
* @return {IterableIterator<number>} Current sequence iterator
*/
public [Symbol.iterator](): IterableIterator<number> {
return this
}
/**
* Get the next value in the fibonacci sequence.
*
* @public
* @instance
*
* @return {IteratorResult<number, number>} Next sequence value
*/
public next(): IteratorResult<number, number> {
/**
* Temporary sequence value.
*
* @const {number} value
*/
const value: number = this.fib1
// reset current sequence values
this.fib1 = this.fib2
this.fib2 = value + this.fib1
return { done: value >= this.#max, value }
}
}
export default FibonacciSequence
…and our module example.mjs
looks as follows:
import docastParse from '@flex-development/docast-parse'
import remarkDirective from 'remark-directive'
import { read } from 'to-vfile'
import { unified } from 'unified'
import { inspect } from 'unist-util-inspect'
const file = await read('fibonacci-sequence.ts')
const tree = unified()
.use(docastParse)
.use(remarkDirective)
.parse(file)
console.log(inspect(tree))
…now running node example.mjs
yields:

This package exports no identifiers. The default export is docastParse
.
Add support for docblock parsing.
There are no parameters.
Nothing (undefined
).
TODO: docblock syntax
Markdown is parsed according to CommonMark. Extensions can add support for other syntax and nodes. If you’re interested
in extending markdown, more information is available in the mdast-util-from-markdown
and
micromark
readmes.
The syntax tree is docast.
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
