youtubei.js / JsHelpers / createWrapperFunction

Function: createWrapperFunction()

createWrapperFunction(analyzer, name, node): string | undefined

Analyzes an AST node to determine if it's a function call or a function declaration. Based on that, it then creates a new JavaScript function as a string. This new function acts as a wrapper, taking a single 'input' argument and forwarding it to the original function call.

Currently can handle:

  • CallExpression: Creates a wrapper that invokes the function being called in the expression.
  • VariableDeclarator with a FunctionExpression: Creates a wrapper that calls the declared function.

Parameters

• analyzer: JsAnalyzer

The JSAnalyzer instance, used to resolve context like declared variables.

• name: string

The name for the new wrapper function to be created.

• node: Node

The ESTree node.

Returns

string | undefined

Todo

Look for edge cases.
