In the process of introspecting solc's ast, we have a use case to parse the type strings embedded in some nodes. It seems that this can be perfectly solved using the solidity-parser-antlr. This PR propses a small new entry point to the parser:
function parseType(input, options) {That is almost identical to
parse(), but parses strings representing just typeName fragments, instead of whole contracts.So for example one could run:
The PR also adds several tests for common solidity types in test/index.js and fixes 2 small lint issues.
Thank you for considering this!
