[youtubei.js](../../../../README.md) / [JsHelpers](../README.md) / walkAst # Function: walkAst() > **walkAst**(`root`, `visitor`): `void` Defined in: [src/utils/javascript/helpers.ts:62](https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/blob/0733f60b57877f6b8b87dfd5cc6195b5085f5c09/src/utils/javascript/helpers.ts#L62) Performs a non-recursive traversal of an ESTree AST. ## Parameters ### root `Node` Root AST node to start the traversal from. ### visitor [`AstVisitor`](../type-aliases/AstVisitor.md) Callbacks invoked when nodes are entered or left. ## Returns `void` ## Remarks - If it returns `WALK_STOP`, the entire traversal is halted. - Why did I not use some AST walker library instead?: They're too slow.
