ampscript-data

Canonical AMPscript function catalog, keywords, and personalization strings for Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) tooling.

This package is the single source of truth consumed by:

• eslint-plugin-sfmc — unknown-function detection and arity validation
• prettier-plugin-sfmc — casing normalization
• VSCode: sfmc-language — completions, hover, and diagnostics

Installation

npm install ampscript-data

Usage

import {
    FUNCTIONS,
    AMPSCRIPT_KEYWORDS,
    PERSONALIZATION_STRINGS,
    DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS,
    functionLookup,
    functionNames,
    CANONICAL_FUNCTIONS,
    FUNCTION_CANONICAL_MAP,
    deprecatedFunctionLookup,
    isEmailExcluded,
} from 'ampscript-data';

FUNCTIONS

An array of all known AMPscript functions with full metadata:

import { FUNCTIONS } from 'ampscript-data';

for (const fn of FUNCTIONS) {
    console.log(fn.name);        // e.g. 'Lookup'
    console.log(fn.minArgs);     // minimum argument count
    console.log(fn.maxArgs);     // maximum argument count (Infinity = variadic)
    console.log(fn.category);    // e.g. 'Data Extension'
    console.log(fn.description); // human-readable description
    console.log(fn.params);      // array of { name, description, type?, optional? }
    console.log(fn.returnType);  // e.g. 'string'
    console.log(fn.syntax);      // canonical signature string
    console.log(fn.example);     // usage example (where available)
}

functionLookup

A Map<string, FunctionEntry> keyed by lowercase function name for O(1) lookups:

import { functionLookup } from 'ampscript-data';

const entry = functionLookup.get('lookup');

functionNames

A Set<string> of all function names in lowercase — useful for existence checks:

import { functionNames } from 'ampscript-data';

if (functionNames.has('lookup')) { /* ... */ }

CANONICAL_FUNCTIONS

An array of function names in their canonical casing (e.g. 'Lookup'), used for casing normalization:

import { CANONICAL_FUNCTIONS } from 'ampscript-data';

FUNCTION_CANONICAL_MAP

A Map<string, string> from lowercase name to canonical-cased name:

import { FUNCTION_CANONICAL_MAP } from 'ampscript-data';

FUNCTION_CANONICAL_MAP.get('lookup'); // 'Lookup'

DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS

An array of deprecated function entries with the same shape as FUNCTIONS:

import { DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS } from 'ampscript-data';

deprecatedFunctionLookup

A Map<string, FunctionEntry> for deprecated functions, keyed by lowercase name:

import { deprecatedFunctionLookup } from 'ampscript-data';

isEmailExcluded

Returns true if the function is not available in email send contexts:

import { isEmailExcluded } from 'ampscript-data';

isEmailExcluded('HTTPGet'); // true — not available in email

AMPSCRIPT_KEYWORDS

An array of AMPscript language keywords (IF, FOR, SET, etc.):

import { AMPSCRIPT_KEYWORDS } from 'ampscript-data';

PERSONALIZATION_STRINGS

An array of AMPscript personalization string descriptors (subscriber attributes, system variables, etc.):

import { PERSONALIZATION_STRINGS } from 'ampscript-data';

for (const ps of PERSONALIZATION_STRINGS) {
    console.log(ps.name);        // e.g. 'emailaddr'
    console.log(ps.description); // human-readable description
}
