ExpressionGroup

Abstract representation of any expression statements that resolves to an expression. In some languages without a statement delimiter, expression statement and the enclosed expression looks the same in text.
For example, in Python: ```python x = 1 ``` The above code is an expression statement, but its expression value is an assignment.
In Typescript: ```typescript x = 1; ``` The above code is also an expression statement, but its expression value is an assignment excluding the semicolon.

ExpressionStatement

Represents an external module, like `datetime`, that can be referenced
These are only added to the graph during import resolution and will not exist in a local file's subgraph. This is because we don't know what an import is referencing or resolves to until we see the full codebase.

ExternalModule

Abstract representation of the if/elif/else statement block. For example, if there is a code block like: if condition1: block1 elif condition2: block2 else: block3 This class represents the entire block, including the conditions and nested code blocks.
Attributes: condition: The condition expression for the if block. None if the block is an else block. consequence_block: The code block that is executed if the condition is True.

IfBlockStatement

Represents a single symbol being imported.
For example, this is one `Import` in Python (and similar applies to Typescript, etc.): ``` from a.b import c ```
This is two separate `Import` in Python: ``` from a.b import c, d  # one import for each `c` and `d` ``` Attributes: symbol_name: The name of the symbol being imported. For instance import a as b has a symbol_name of a.

Import

Abstract representation of a single import statement that appears in a file. One import statement can import multiple symbols from a single source.
Attributes: imports: A collection of the individual imports this statement represents

ImportStatement

An interface for any node object that can import (or reference) an exportable symbol eg. Class, function, imports, exports, etc.

Importable

A list object. You can use standard operations to operate on this list (IE len, del, append, insert, etc)

List

Represents an group of Expressions, such as List, Dict, Binary Expression, String

MultiExpression

A list containing multi-line objects. Example: A list of function definitions, class definitions You can use standard operations to operate on this list (IE len, del, append, insert, etc)

MultiLineCollection

Editable attribute on any given code objects that has a name. For example, function, classes, global variable, interfaces, attributes, parameters are all composed of a name.

Name

NamedType

NoneType

Number

Abstract representation of a parameter in a Function definition

Parameter

An expression surrounded in a set of parenthesis.
Example: ```typescript (5 + 5) ```

ParenthesizedExpression

A placeholder for a node that does not exist yet. Use bool checks (ie is node) to check if the node exists. You can call edit to replace the placeholder with a real node and it will automatically insert formatting.

Placeholder

Represents a type that has not been implemented yet.

PlaceholderType

Abstract representation of raise statements, e.g. in Python: ```python def f(x): raise ValueError() ```

RaiseStatement

Abstract representation of return statements, e.g. in Python: ```python def f(x): if x: return x**2  # ReturnStatement else: return 1  # ReturnStatement ```

ReturnStatement

Represents a file with source code in the codebase. Enables creating, reading, updating, and deleting files and searching through their contents, etc.

SourceFile

Interface for a single code statement. Enables analysis/editing of more complex code structures Examples include: - a chain of function calls, assignment expression, if/else statement, for/while loop - in context of a block in a class definition, a statement can be a function definition or attribute

DECORATOR: Usage within a decorator. RETURN_TYPE: Used as a return type annotation TYPE_DEFINITION: Used in a type alias. EXPORTED_SYMBOL: Used in an export statement. EXPORTED_WILDCARD: Re-exported by a wildcard export. GENERIC: Used as a type parameter to another type. IMPORTED: Imported with an import statement. DEFAULT_VALUE: Represents a default value in a function/method parameter.
