}

A visitor that can be used to walk an AST tree.

pre_visit_ methods are invoked before visiting all children of the node and post_visit_ methods are invoked after visiting all children of the node.

These methods provide a more concise way of visiting nodes of a certain type:

• [visit_relations]
• [visit_expressions]
• [visit_statements]

Example

// A structure that records statements and relations
#[derive(Default)]
struct V {
   visited: Vec<String>,
}

// Visit relations and exprs before children are visited (depth first walk)
// Note you can also visit statements and visit exprs after children have been visited
impl Visitor for V {
  type Break = ();

  fn pre_visit_relation(&mut self, relation: &ObjectName) -> ControlFlow<Self::Break> {
    self.visited.push(format!("PRE: RELATION: {}", relation));
    ControlFlow::Continue(())
  }

  fn pre_visit_expr(&mut self, expr: &Expr) -> ControlFlow<Self::Break> {
    self.visited.push(format!("PRE: EXPR: {}", expr));
    ControlFlow::Continue(())
  }
}

let sql = "SELECT a FROM foo where x IN (SELECT y FROM bar)";
let statements = Parser::parse_sql(&GenericDialect{}, sql)
   .unwrap();

// Drive the visitor through the AST
let mut visitor = V::default();
statements.visit(&mut visitor);

// The visitor has visited statements and expressions in pre-traversal order
let expected : Vec<_> = [
  "PRE: EXPR: a",
  "PRE: RELATION: foo",
  "PRE: EXPR: x IN (SELECT y FROM bar)",
  "PRE: EXPR: x",
  "PRE: EXPR: y",
  "PRE: RELATION: bar",
]
  .into_iter().map(|s| s.to_string()).collect();

assert_eq!(visitor.visited, expected);

Required Associated Types

type Break

Type returned when the recursion returns early.

Important note: The Break type should be kept as small as possible to prevent stack overflow during recursion. If you need to return an error, consider boxing it with Box to minimize stack usage.
