Create a parser npm module #34617

Search Terms

• parser
• parser module

Suggestion

use the parser part of typescript and create a npm module from it to be used without the whole typescript (a few megabytes)

Use Cases

parsing typescipt & javascript to AST

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
