The code imports a module named importer and a function get parameter names from it, assigns it to the getParameters variable, and defines a function to test it. However, the purpose of the code is unclear without more context, but it appears to be a test case for the getParameters function.

Run example

npm run import -- "test parameter names"

test parameter names

var importer = require('../Core');
var getParameters = importer.import("get parameter names")

var code = `
function getParameters(code) {
}
`

function testGetParameters() {
    return getParameters(code)
}

if(typeof $ != 'undefined') {
    testGetParameters()
    
    /*
    expected output
    getParameters
    code
    
    */
}

What the code could have been:

/**
 * Import necessary modules and functions.
 * @module Core
 */
const { getParameterNames } = require('../Core');

/**
 * Define a function to get function parameter names from a given code string.
 * @param {string} code - The code string to extract parameter names from.
 * @returns {string[]} An array of parameter names.
 */
function getFunctionParameterNames(code) {
    try {
        // Use Function constructor to parse the code string into a function.
        const func = new Function('return'+ code);
        
        // Use the Function constructor's toString() method to obtain the function's string representation.
        const funcStr = func.toString();
        
        // Use a regular expression to extract the parameter names from the function string.
        return funcStr.slice(funcStr.indexOf('(') + 1, funcStr.indexOf(')')).split(',');
    } catch (error) {
        // Handle any errors that occur during code parsing.
        console.error('Error parsing code:', error);
        return [];
    }
}

/**
 * Test the getFunctionParameterNames function with a code string.
 */
function testGetFunctionParameterNames() {
    const code = `
        function getParameters(code) {
        }
    `;
    
    // Call the getFunctionParameterNames function with the test code string.
    const result = getFunctionParameterNames(code);
    
    return result;
}

// Run the test function if the $ global variable is defined.
if (typeof $!== 'undefined') {
    testGetFunctionParameterNames();
    
    // Expected output:
    // ["getParameters", "code"]
}
