Code search and refactoring tools – `Code Recycle`

Programmers often rely on text search when querying code during the development process, although this is useful in most cases, it may not fully meet our needs

let a = 1;let b=`let a=1`

It is usually difficult to search for the above code statement let a = 1 because on one hand, there may be string interference, and on the other hand, the format may be different, making it impossible to directly determine the unique statement

However, when we use code cycle, we can directly match this statement with let a=1 because it is based on syntax trees for matching. One characteristic is that it is not sensitive to blank content, and the other is that all characters are treated as node content for querying

In this way, we can use the same search content as before to match more accurate results

Quickly exchange parameters?

If you want to exchange the parameters of function calls, it may be a big project that requires checking each function call and manually handling the positions of the two parameters
Would it be more convenient to exchange all the code with just a few lines of code?
That’s right, you can write it like this in code cycle

{
query: `CallExpression:like(test1( [[{^]] [[$p1]] [[…]] [[$p4]] [[$}]] ) )`,
multi: true,
replace: {
p1: `{{”|ctxInferValue:’p4′}}`,
p4: `{{”|ctxInferValue:’p1′}}`,
},
},

The above demonstration involves exchanging the first and last parameters. If you have already determined the number of parameters, the writing method can be simpler

Rewrite the parameter transfer structure?

When there are changes in the design, it is usually necessary to modify the parameter transfer structure and place the previous parameters into the new structure
At this point, you can do this

{
query: `CallExpression:like(test1( [[{^]] [[…]] [[$p4]] [[$}]] ) )`,
multi: true,
replace: {
p4: `{value:{{”|ctxInferValue:’p4′}}}`,
},
}

The last parameter becomes an object, and the original parameter value will be in the object

Other uses

console.[[$method:/log|info/]]() Query the specified calling method for console

class [[$className]] { [[{]] test(){} [[}]] }Query classes containing test methods

{key:[[$value]]}Query the value of the key
