## API

### [.isNode](index.js#L21)

Returns true if the given value is a node.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `returns` **{Boolean}**

**Example**

```js
var Node = require('snapdragon-node');
var node = new Node({type: 'foo'});
console.log(utils.isNode(node)); //=> true
console.log(utils.isNode({})); //=> false
```

### [.noop](index.js#L37)

Emit an empty string for the given `node`.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `returns` **{undefined}**

**Example**

```js
// do nothing for beginning-of-string
snapdragon.compiler.set('bos', utils.noop);
```

### [.identity](index.js#L53)

Appdend `node.val` to `compiler.output`, exactly as it was created by the parser.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `returns` **{undefined}**

**Example**

```js
snapdragon.compiler.set('text', utils.identity);
```

### [.append](index.js#L76)

Previously named `.emit`, this method appends the given `val` to `compiler.output` for the given node. Useful when you know what value should be appended advance, regardless of the actual value of `node.val`.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `returns` **{Function}**: Returns a compiler middleware function.

**Example**

```js
snapdragon.compiler
  .set('i', function(node) {
    this.mapVisit(node);
  })
  .set('i.open', utils.append('<i>'))
  .set('i.close', utils.append('</i>'))
```

### [.toNoop](index.js#L99)

Used in compiler middleware, this onverts an AST node into an empty `text` node and deletes `node.nodes` if it exists. The advantage of this method is that, as opposed to completely removing the node, indices will not need to be re-calculated in sibling nodes, and nothing is appended to the output.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `nodes` **{Array}**: Optionally pass a new `nodes` value, to replace the existing `node.nodes` array.

**Example**

```js
utils.toNoop(node);
// convert `node.nodes` to the given value instead of deleting it
utils.toNoop(node, []);
```

### [.visit](index.js#L128)

Visit `node` with the given `fn`. The built-in `.visit` method in snapdragon automatically calls registered compilers, this allows you to pass a visitor function.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `fn` **{Function}**
* `returns` **{Object}**: returns the node after recursively visiting all child nodes.

**Example**

```js
snapdragon.compiler.set('i', function(node) {
  utils.visit(node, function(childNode) {
    // do stuff with "childNode"
    return childNode;
  });
});
```

### [.mapVisit](index.js#L155)

Map [visit](#visit) the given `fn` over `node.nodes`. This is called by [visit](#visit), use this method if you do not want `fn` to be called on the first node.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `options` **{Object}**
* `fn` **{Function}**
* `returns` **{Object}**: returns the node

**Example**

```js
snapdragon.compiler.set('i', function(node) {
  utils.mapVisit(node, function(childNode) {
    // do stuff with "childNode"
    return childNode;
  });
});
```

### [.addOpen](index.js#L194)

Unshift an `*.open` node onto `node.nodes`.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `Node` **{Function}**: (required) Node constructor function from [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node).
* `filter` **{Function}**: Optionaly specify a filter function to exclude the node.
* `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the created opening node.

**Example**

```js
var Node = require('snapdragon-node');
snapdragon.parser.set('brace', function(node) {
  var match = this.match(/^{/);
  if (match) {
    var parent = new Node({type: 'brace'});
    utils.addOpen(parent, Node);
    console.log(parent.nodes[0]):
    // { type: 'brace.open', val: '' };

    // push the parent "brace" node onto the stack
    this.push(parent);

    // return the parent node, so it's also added to the AST
    return brace;
  }
});
```

### [.addClose](index.js#L244)

Push a `*.close` node onto `node.nodes`.

**Params**

* `node` **{Object}**: Instance of [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node)
* `Node` **{Function}**: (required) Node constructor function from [snapdragon-node](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/snapdragon-node).
* `filter` **{Function}**: Optionaly specify a filter function to exclude the node.
* `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the created closing node.

**Example**

```js
var Node = require('snapdragon-node');
snapdragon.parser.set('brace', function(node) {
  var match = this.match(/^}/);
  if (match) {
    var parent = this.parent();
    if (parent.type !== 'brace') {
      throw new Error('missing opening: ' + '}');
    }

    utils.addClose(parent, Node);
    console.log(parent.nodes[parent.nodes.length - 1]):
    // { type: 'brace.close', val: '' };

    // no need to return a node, since the parent
    // was already added to the AST
    return;
  }
});
```
