Spike Parser

[chrisdmacrae]

Struggle/Problem

We need to parse the the contents of HTML with reshape to build our AST.

Solution

We'll use:

• reshape to parse HTML entries into an AST
• postcss to parse CSS entries into an AST
• esbuild does not give us access to it's AST, so if we need a JS AST, we'll need to use rollup without any plugins or some other library

Risks and Rabbit Holes

• this might be confusing
• the parser just needs to create a simple dependency graph; don't over engineer it
• digging into the ASTs/learning them
• we may need JS ASTs, which means figuring out how to do this in the most lightweight way

Appetite

Keep it short. 3-10 days of work.
