strip-literal

Strip comments and string literals from JavaScript code. Powered by acorn's tokenizer.

Usage

import { stripLiteral } from 'strip-literal'

stripLiteral('const foo = `//foo ${bar}`') // 'const foo = `       ${bar}`'

Comments, string literals will be replaced by spaces with the same length to keep the source map untouched.

Functions

stripLiteralAcorn

Strip literal using Acorn's tokenizer.

Will throw error if the input is not valid JavaScript.

Source

stripLiteralRegex

Strip literal using RegExp.

This will be faster and can work on non-JavaScript input. But will have some caveats on distinguish strings and comments.

Try to use stripLiteralAcorn first, and fallback to stripLiteralRegex if Acorn fails.
