dd-wasm-js-rewriter

Nodejs native AST rewriter heavily based on Speedy Web Compiler o SWC compiler used to instrument Javascript source files.

Workflow

Parse Javascript code to obtain the AST
Replace certain AST expressions -> Currently it is focused in certain operators like + and +=, template literals and some String methods
Generate the new Javascript code as from the modified AST -> In addition to the Javascript code, the corresponding source map is returned chaining it with the original source map if necessary.

Usage

const Rewriter = require('@datadog/wasm-js-rewriter')

const rewriter = new Rewriter(rewriterConfig)
const result = rewriter.rewrite(code, filename)

Configuration options


RewriterConfig {
  // enable/disable sourceMap chaining - false by default
  chainSourceMap?: boolean

  // enable/disable comments printing - false by default
  comments?: boolean

  // establishes the prefix for the injected local variables - 6 random characters by default
  localVarPrefix?: string

  // sets the list of methods or operators to be rewritten
  csiMethods?: Array<CsiMethod>

  // extracts hardcoded string literals - true by default
  literals?: boolean
}

CsiMethod {
  // name of the String method to rewrite
  src: string

  // optional name of the replacement method. If not specified a convention shall be used
  dst?: string

  // indicates if it is an operator like +
  operator?: boolean
}

Example

const Rewriter = require('@datadog/wasm-js-rewriter')

const rewriterConfig = {
  csiMethods: [{ src: 'substring' }],
  localVarPrefix: 'test',
}

const rewriter = new Rewriter(rewriterConfig)

const code = `function sub(a) {
  return a.substring(1)
}`
const result = rewriter.rewrite(code, filename)

console.log(result.content)
/*
function sub(a) {
  let __datadog_test_0, __datadog_test_1;
  return (__datadog_test_0 = a, __datadog_test_1 = __datadog_test_0.substring, _ddiast.stringSubstring(__datadog_test_1.call(__datadog_test_0, 1), __datadog_test_1, __datadog_test_0, 1));
}
*/

Local setup

To set up the project locally, you should install cargo and wasm-pack:

$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

$ cargo install wasm-pack

and project dependencies:

$ npm install

Build

Build the project with

$ npm run build

It will compile WASM binaries by default and then it will be possible to run the tests with

$ npm t
