IAstNode Interface
Provides the base requirements for an AST (abstract syntax tree) node.
public interface IAstNode
Properties
Children
The collection of child AST nodes.
EndOffset
The end offset of this AST node, if known.
HasChildren
Indicates whether the AST node contains any child AST nodes.
bool HasChildren { get; }
Property Value
- bool:
trueif the AST node contains any child AST nodes; otherwise,false.
Id
An integer value that identifies the type of AST node, if known.
Length
The character length of this AST node, if known.
Parent
The parent IAstNode of this AST node, if known.
StartOffset
The start offset of this AST node, if known.
Value
The string-based value for the AST node.
Methods
Contains(int)
Returns whether the AST node contains the specified offset.
bool Contains(int offset)
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| offset | int | The offset to examine. |
Returns
- bool:
trueif the AST node contains the specified offset; otherwise,false.
Remarks
This method returns false if the offset falls on the EndOffset offset
since this method indicates if the offset is encompassed by the AST node.
This method also returns false if the AST node doesn't have known offsets.
FindChildNode(int)
Searches through the child nodes for a node that contains the specified offset.
IAstNode? FindChildNode(int offset)
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| offset | int | The offset to check. |
Returns
FindDescendantNode(int)
Recursively searches through the descendant nodes for a node that contains the specified offset.
IAstNode? FindDescendantNode(int offset)
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| offset | int | The offset to check. |
Returns
ToTreeString(int)
Outputs the contents of the AST node in tree form.
string ToTreeString(int indentLevel)
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| indentLevel | int | The indentation level. |
