Function: createWrapperFunction()

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

Defined in: src/utils/javascript/helpers.ts:223

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
