What is this?

This package is a utility that can be used to check if something can be an identifier name. For example, a, _, and a1 are fine, but 1 and - are not.

When should I use this?

You can use this utility when generating IDs from strings or parsing IDs.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install estree-util-is-identifier-name

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {cont, name, start} from 'https://esm.sh/estree-util-is-identifier-name@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {cont, name, start} from 'https://esm.sh/estree-util-is-identifier-name@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {cont, name, start} from 'estree-util-is-identifier-name'

name('$something69') // => true
name('69') // => false
name('var') // => true (this does not handle keywords)

start(48) // => false (code point for `'0'`)
cont(48) // => true (code point for `'0'`)

API

This package exports the identifiers cont, name, and start. There is no default export.

cont(code[, options])

Checks if the given code point can continue an identifier.

Parameters

• code (number) — code point to check
• options (Options, optional) — configuration

Returns

Whether code can continue an identifier (boolean).

name(name[, options])

Checks if the given value is a valid identifier name.

Parameters

• name (string) — identifier to check
• options (Options, optional) — configuration

Returns

Whether name can be an identifier (boolean).

start(code)

Checks if the given code point can start an identifier.

Parameters

• code (number) — code point to check

Returns

Whether code can start an identifier (boolean).

Options

Configuration (TypeScript type).

Fields

• jsx (boolean, default: false) — support JSX identifiers.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional type Options.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, estree-util-is-identifier-name@^3, compatible with Node.js 16.
