:page_facing_up: CLI tool for checking license headers in files

deno_license_checker v2.0.0

This tool checks the license headers in the files in a git repository. You can configure which files should have which license texts with .licenserc.json.

Usage

Create .licenserc.json like the following:

{
  "**/*.ts": "// Copyright 2019 My Name. All rights reserved. MIT license."
}

Then run:

deno --allow-read --allow-run https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/main.ts

This checks the license lines in the files in your repository.

.licenserc.json

You can use any glob pattern in the keys of .licenserc.json

{
  "**/*.ts": "Copyright 2019 My Name. All rights reserved. MIT license.",

  "**/*.{js,ts}": "This matches any .js and .ts files",

  "*.go": "This matches .go file in the project root, (not in subdirectories)",

  "src/**/*.ts": "This matches .ts file in `src` dir",

  "**/*.ts": [
    "You can put multiline headers like this",

    "Copyright Foo, Inc. and other Bar contributors."

    "Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a"
    "copy of this software and associated documentation files (the",
    "\"Software\"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including",
    "without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish,",
    "distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit",
    "persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the",
    "following conditions:",
    "..."
  ]
}

Ignore certain files

You can ignore certain files by the ignore array in config.

{
  "**/*.js": "// Copyright 2019 My Name. All rights reserved. MIT license.",

  "ignore": [
    "lib/vendor/jquery.js", // ignore this file
    "vendor/" // ignore all files under vendor
  ]
}

Note: ignore needs to be an array, not a string.

Multiple config in .licenserc.json

You can put multiple config in .licenserc.json like the below:

[
  {
    "*.ts": "Copyright main",
    "ignore": [
      "vendor.ts"
    ]
  },
  {
    "vendor.ts": "Copyright some vendor"
  }
]

Each object in the main array is treated independently as a single config. This is useful when the some license lines overlaps the ignore pattern of the other config.
