ops/:ref+

matches both a value AND its references (union of referent and all dereferenced usages)

(:ref+ val)

Where:

1. val: the value to find (both definition and usages) *

Expanding into:

(:or \1 (:ref \1))

Behavior

• Equivalent to (:or val (:ref val)) - matches the original value or any references to it.
• Useful when you want to find all occurrences of a value regardless of whether it's the definition or a usage.

Examples

Find all occurrences of a specific number, both literal and referenced.

(arr (el _ (:ref+ (num 1))))

Selects in lines { 2, 3 } but not in { }:

var a = 1;
[1];
[a];

---

Locate all usages of an imported module, including the import itself.

(:ref+ (import react))

Selects in lines { 1, 1, 1 } but not in { }:

import React from 'react';
React.useState()
const x = React

---

Find all instances of an object literal and where it's referenced.

(call process (arg _ (:ref+ (obj))))

Selects in lines { 2, 3 } but not in { }:

var config = { debug: true };
process({})
process(config)

---

Track both the definition and all uses of a string constant.

(:ref+ (str API_KEY))

Selects in lines { 1, 1, 1 } but not in { }:

const key = "API_KEY";
fetch(url, { headers: { "API_KEY": value } })
fetch(url, { headers: { [key]: value } })
