Attributes
return_type
the return type annotation of the function
Methods
add_comment
Adds a comment to the symbol.
If a comment already exists, a new comment will be added to the existing comment group. If no comment exists, a new comment group will be created.
add_decorator
Adds a decorator to this function based on the source
skip_if_exists
: Do not add a decorator if it already exists- returns
bool
:True
if the decorator was added,False
otherwise
add_keyword

add_statements
Adds lines to the end of the function body
asyncify
Modifies the function to be asynchronous, if it is not already.
call_graph_successors
Returns all Callable
objects that are reachable from this Callable
.
Args: include_classes (bool): If True, includes class definitions in the code paths. include_external (bool): If True, includes external modules in the code paths.
Returns:
list[Function | ExternalModule]: A list of Function
or ExternalModule
objects that are reachable from this Callable
.
commit
Commit just this node
edit
Replace the source of this node with new_src.
When fix_indentation
is True
, the indentation of the new_src will be adjusted to match the current text’s indentation.
find
Returns a list of all substring match in strings_to_match
, similar to python’s str.find(..)
Args: exact: Only match individual nodes which exactly match the query
find_string_literals
Returns a list of all editable substrings within string literals that match strings_to_match
flag
Adds a comment so the developer can see this Editable
get_all_symbol_usages
Returns a list of all symbols that uses this exportable object, via direct or indirect usages. Equivalent to get_symbol_usages(UsageType.DIRECT | UsageType.INDIRECT | UsageType.ALIASED)
get_all_usages
Returns a list of all usages of this exportable object, via direct or indirect usages. Equivalent to get_usages(UsageType.DIRECT | UsageType.INDIRECT | UsageType.ALIASED)
get_import_string
Returns the import string needed to import this symbol.
- If
alias
is specified, formats the import using the alias. - If
module
is specified, uses the specified module, otherwise defaults to the current module. - If
import_type
is ImportType.WILDCARD, imports the symbol’s module. e.g.from module import symbol as alias
get_name
Returns the Name of the object, as a Name
(editable)
get_parameter
Returns the parameter with the given name, or None if it doesn’t exist.
get_parameter_by_index
Returns the parameter with the given index, or None if it doesn’t exist.
get_parameter_by_type
Returns the parameter of specified type, or None if it doesn’t exist.
get_symbol_usages
Symbols that uses this exportable object, or imports that imports this exportable object.
By default, only returns direct usages, such as Imports or usages within the same file. In other words, it will tell you where this symbol is imported, but not where it is used.
Inverse of dependencies
.
Arguments: usage_types: What kind of usages to search for
get_usages
Returns a list of usages of the exportable object. By default, only returns direct usages, such as Imports or usages within the same file. In other words, it will tell you where this symbol is imported, but not where it is used. Useful for dead code deletion.
Arguments: usage_types: What kind of usages to search for
get_variable_usages
Returns Editables for all TreeSitter nodes corresponding to instances of variable usage that matches the given variable name.
(Excludes: property identifiers and argument keywords)
fuzzy_match
allows for partial matching of variable names and effectively does var_name in usage.name
insert_after
Inserts new_src after this node
insert_before
Inserts new_src
before this node.
Arguments:
- extended (bool): If True, the source is inserted before the extended nodes (e.g. comments, docstrings, access identifiers).(Default: True)
insert_statements
Inserts lines into the function body at given index
move_to_file
Moves a symbol to the specified file and updates all imports. Import update strategy can be specified. Strategies:
add_back_edge
: just moves the symbol to the new file and adds an import to the old fileupdate_all_imports
: updates all imports and usages of the symbol to the new file
prepend_statements
Prepends lines to start of function body. Indentations will be taken care of by the method internals.
remove
Deletes this Node, and optionally its related extended nodes (e.g. decorators, comments, etc.)
rename
Renames the symbol and all its references in the codebase (imports/callsites/etc.)
rename_local_variable
Renames a local variable in a function body and all usages in the function body.
replace
Search and replace an instance of substring
within this node’s source. Similar to python’s string.replace(..)
Throws ValueError if there are more than one occurrence of substring in this node’s source.
Arguments:
old: the occurrences of this string to replace
new: the string to replace with
count: the max number of occurrences to replace. Default value: -1 (replace all)
is_regex: whether old
is a regex pattern. Default value: False
Returns:
The total count of old
occurrences replaced.
search
Returns a list of all regex match of regex_pattern
, similar to python’s re.search(…)
When include_strings
is False, the search will exclude the contents of string literals from the search.
When include_comments
is False, the search will exclude the contents of comments from the search.
set_comment
Sets a comment to the symbol.
If a comment already exists, the existing comment will be overridden If no comment exists, a new comment group will be created.
set_docstring
Sets a docstring for this entity.
- If a docstring already exists, the existing docstring will be overridden
- If no docstring exists, a new docstring will be created.
set_inline_comment
Sets an inline comment to the symbol.
If an inline comment already exists, the existing inline comment will be overridden. If no inline comment exists, a new inline comment will be created.
set_name
Sets the name of the object
set_return_type
Sets the return type of the function.
:param new_return_type: The new return type to be set for the function. If empty string, the return type is removed.
