Suggestion

Provide a way to clone an ast tree not only top level node but includes it's all children.

Use Cases

Currently, replace node with the original node is not work with textChanges(It will fail an assert).

So I have to do it like this: https://github.com/HearTao/ts-react-hooks-tools/blob/main/src/utils.ts#L458-L476.

I think It's not a good idea even it works.

Examples

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

Inizia esaminando l’utilizzo collegato di service.ts e il workaround in utils.ts per sostituire i nodi AST con textChanges. Traccia il modo in cui le API AST e transformer di TypeScript gestiscono i nodi figli e le modifiche al testo. Il lavoro è completato quando viene fornito un modo supportato per clonare un nodo AST insieme a tutti i suoi figli senza attivare l’errore di asserzione segnalato.
