Usage question: how to get list(field -> child nodes) from a parent node about py-tree-sitter HOT 4 CLOSED

@maxbrunsfeld current_field_name from TreeCursor is not published. When I do pip install tree_cursor, I do get the build from old code.
Can you please publish the package using latest code?

You can't with current API as far as I know. You need to know the Name, then you can query the child.

There is a Cursor class which can give you name. However I found that it only gives name if you get the cursor on rootNode & then iterate it through. If I create the cursor on any other node, it was not giving the name.

What I did was, wrote a wrapper NodeW class. I started from rootNode and then using cursor, I iterated through children. For each child, I created NodeW and added that a child to parent's NodeW instance. As I have cursor at child's node, I queried the name and set it in NodeW instance. Not so clean.. But for a timebeing it solved the purpose.

I also find this very useful,

can someone point a small solution design? I would gladly code it

this doesnt make sense imo as an upstream api, but you could probably accomplish this by collecting the children and creating a hashtable of sorts to accomplish this.
