Mutates

🚀 Mutates is a powerful toolset for mutating the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of TypeScript files. It is a fork of ng-morph, with a broader focus beyond Angular-specific transformations, allowing for extensive AST modifications in any TypeScript project.

Features

✨ AST Mutations: Modify the AST of any TypeScript file.
🌐 Framework-Agnostic: Not limited to Angular; can be used with any TypeScript-based project.
🔧 Extensible: Framework-specific transformations are available through separate packages.

Packages

Core Package

@mutates/core

The core package provides the essential functionalities needed to manipulate the AST of TypeScript files. It serves as the foundation for other specialized packages.

Framework-Specific Packages

Framework-specific transformations have been decoupled from the core package and are available as separate packages. For example:

@mutates/angular

This package includes transformations specific to Angular projects, leveraging the capabilities of @mutates/core to provide Angular-focused AST modifications.

@mutates/nx

This package includes transformations specific to Nx workspaces, allowing for Nx-specific filesystem operations and AST modifications.

Installation

To install the core package, use the following command:

npm install @mutates/core

For Angular-specific transformations, install the Angular package as well:

npm install @mutates/angular @mutates/core

For Nx-specific transformations, install the Nx package:

npm install @mutates/nx @mutates/core

Usage

Basic Example

Here is a simple example demonstrating how to use @mutates/core to modify a TypeScript file:

import { addFunctions, creataProject, createSourceFile, saveProject } from '@mutates/core';

// Initialize a new project
createProject();

// Add a TypeScript file to the project
createSourceFile(
  'example.ts',
  `
  const greet = (name: string) => {
    return 'Hello, ' + name;
  };
`,
);

// Perform some transformations
addFunctions('example.ts', {
  name: 'farewell',
  isExported: true,
  statements: "return 'buy!'",
});

// Save the modified file
saveProject();

Angular Example

To perform Angular-specific transformations, use @mutates/angular along with @mutates/core:

import { addProviders, getComponents } from '@mutates/angular';
import { createProject, createSourceFile, saveProject } from '@mutates/core';

// Initialize a new Angular project
createProject();

// Add an Angular component file to the project
createSourceFile(
  'app.component.ts',
  `
  import { Component } from '@angular/core';

  @Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: '<h1>Hello, World!</h1>'
  })
  export class AppComponent {}
`,
);

// Perform some Angular-specific transformations
addProviders(getComponents('app.component.ts').at(0)!, ['AppService']);

// Save the modified file
saveProject();
