Private methods and getter/setters support for Acorn

This is a plugin for Acorn - a tiny, fast JavaScript parser, written completely in JavaScript.

It implements support for private methods, getters and setters as defined in the stage 3 proposal Private methods and getter/setters for JavaScript classes. The emitted AST follows the ESTree experimental Class Features design.

Usage

This module provides a plugin that can be used to extend the Acorn Parser class:

const {Parser} = require('acorn');
const privateMethods = require('acorn-private-methods');
Parser.extend(privateMethods).parse('class X { #a() {} }');

or as an ECMAScript Module:

import {Parser} from 'acorn';
import privateMethods from 'acorn-private-methods';
Parser.extend(privateMethods).parse('class X { #a() {} }');
