ast-to-literal

Transform a Babel Expression into a JS object.

code example:

const t = require('@babel/types')
const equal = require('deep-equal')

const toJs = require('ast-to-literal')

const obj = { key: 'value' }
const astObject = t.objectExpression([
  t.objectProperty(t.identifier('key'), t.stringLiteral('value'))
])

console.log(equal(obj, toJs(astObject))) // true

Supported value types:

BooleanLiteral
StringLiteral
NumericLiteral
ObjectExpression
ArrayExpression
null (stripped from object)
undefined (stripped from object too)

It could support other value types as long as they don't need any sort of computation.
