Method: JsDuck::Js::Evaluator#to_value

Defined in:
lib/jsduck/js/evaluator.rb

#to_value(ast) ⇒ Object

Converts AST node into a value.

  • String literals become Ruby strings

  • Number literals become Ruby numbers

  • Regex literals become :regexp symbols

  • Array expressions become Ruby arrays

  • etc

For anything it doesn’t know how to evaluate (like a function expression) it throws exception.
