This library is not being maintained anymore. For an up-to-date Solidity parser, check out solidity-parser-antlr.
A Solidity parser in Javascript. So we can evaluate and alter Solidity code without resorting to cruddy preprocessing.
Library
npm install solidity-parser
Then, in your code:
var SolidityParser = require("solidity-parser");
// Parse Solidity code as a string:
var result = SolidityParser.parse("contract { ... }");
// Or, parse a file:
var result = SolidityParser.parseFile("./path/to/file.sol");You can also parse a file specifically for its imports. This won't return an abstract syntax tree, but will instead return a list of files required by the parsed file:
var SolidityParser = require("solidity-parser");
var result = SolidityParser.parseFile("./path/to/file.sol", "imports");
console.log(result);
// [
// "SomeFile.sol",
// "AnotherFile.sol"
// ]Command Line (for convenience)
$ solidity-parser ./path/to/file.js
Consider this solidity code as input:
import "Foo.sol";
contract MyContract {
mapping (uint => address) public addresses;
}
You'll receiving the following (or something very similar) as output. Note that the structure of mappings could be made more clear, and this will likely be changed in the future.
