Struct NodeRef 

pub struct NodeRef {
    pub file: RelativePath,
    pub start_byte: usize,
    pub end_byte: usize,
    pub kind: NodeKind,
    pub line: usize,
    pub column: usize,
    pub end_line: usize,
    pub end_column: usize,
}

A self-contained reference to a node in a source file.

Encodes everything needed to locate and re-parse the node: file path + byte range. Each MCP call receives and returns these.

Fields

file: RelativePath

Relative path to the source file.

start_byte: usize

Byte offset of the start of this node.

end_byte: usize

Byte offset of the end of this node.

kind: NodeKind

tree-sitter node kind (e.g. “function_declaration”, “class_declaration”).

line: usize

1-based start line number.

column: usize

0-based start column offset.

end_line: usize

1-based end line number.

end_column: usize

0-based end column offset.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for NodeRef

fn clone(&self) -> NodeRef

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for NodeRef

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for NodeRef

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for NodeRef

fn eq(&self, other: &NodeRef) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for NodeRef

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Eq for NodeRef

impl StructuralPartialEq for NodeRef
