Description Michael Rennie

There are many, many times I have needed to know what the AST of the current source file looks like. It would be nice if we could provide a view - or perhaps just an outliner - that could show me what it looks like.

I've run into this problem before as well.  I have a working example of doing this with a second outliner.  Just need to update the test suite.

Fixed in master

I only added one regression test just to ensure it is working.  The content matches the AST exactly (node type and range).  If we add more content to the outline we will add more tests.

I pushed a small update that shows all spec'd properties of the nodes and arranges them in their correct ECMA-named locations.

I also added a separate test suite for the outliner that tests the results of the outline for good and broken ASTs.

I pushed one further update to filter out redundant information that makes searching for certain syntax painful.
