Retool's Developer Experience team is celebrating the holiday season by sharing twelve JavaScript and Retool platform hacks, with new posts released daily from December 7th to 22nd. The series, starting with a detailed exploration of abstract syntax trees (AST), demonstrates how to create and visualize ASTs using Retool and the Acorn library. This initial hack guides users through importing external JavaScript libraries into Retool, generating ASTs from code input, and displaying them using Retool's JSON visualizer. The project highlights ASTs' role in programming and showcases Retool's capabilities in building interactive applications. This initiative aims to engage and educate developers by offering innovative coding solutions, with subsequent posts featuring additional hacks like "Two Tuple Hacks."
