Summary
Currently, the way to print out the CST is using
libcst.tool.dump
.There are many useful inner functions in
libcst.tool
which could be used by 3rd parties to provide their own custom representation of LibCST graphs.The goal of this PR is to expose some of these functions: functions which help to filter all the non-relevant data from the CST.
Changes
Following functions have been created in
libcst.helpers
:get_node_fields
is_whitespace_node_field
is_syntax_node_field
get_field_default_value
is_default_node_field
filter_node_fields
And
libcst.tool.dump
now usesfilter_node_fields
.Test Plan
Parse a simple CST, then check CST-nodes have their fields properly filtered when using filter functions.
