API

visit(node[, test], visitor[, reverse])

Visit nodes. Optionally filtering nodes. Optionally in reverse.

Parameters

• node (Node) — Node to search
• test (Test, optional) — Node type or other is-compatible test
• visitor (Function) — Visitor invoked when a node is found
• reverse (boolean, default: false) — When falsey, checking starts at the first child and continues through to later children. When truthy, this is reversed. This does not mean checking starts at the deepest node and continues on to the highest node

stop? = visitor(node, index, parent)

Invoked when a node (matching test, if given) is found.

Parameters

• node (Node) — Found node
• index (number?) — Position of node in parent
• parent (Node?) — Parent of node

Returns

boolean? - When false, visiting is immediately stopped.
