te.compile(fragment)

Builds the TE fragment into a string ready to be evaluated, but does not evaluate it. Returns an object containing the string and any refs. Useful for debugging, or tests.

const fragment = te`return ${te.ref(1)} + ${te.ref(2)}`;
const result = te.compile(fragment);

assert.deepEqual(result, {
  string: `return _$$_ref_1 + _$$_ref_2`,
  refs: { _$$_ref_1: 1, _$$_ref_2: 2 },
});
