Copy/paste detector for programming source code.

jscpd

Copy/paste detector for programming source code, supports 150+ formats.

Copy/paste is a common technical debt on a lot of projects. The jscpd gives the ability to find duplicated blocks implemented on more than 150 programming languages and digital formats of documents. The jscpd tool implements Rabin-Karp algorithm for searching duplications.

Packages of jscpd

name	version	description
jscpd		main package for jscpd (cli and API for detections included)
@jscpd/core		core detection algorithm, can be used for detect duplication in different environments, one dependency to eventemmiter3
@jscpd/finder		detector of duplication in files
@jscpd/tokenizer		tool for tokenize programming source code
@jscpd/leveldb-store		LevelDB store, used for big repositories, slower than default store
@jscpd/html-reporter		Html reporter for jscpd
@jscpd/badge-reporter		Badge reporter for jscpd

Programming API

For integration copy/paste detection to your application you can use programming API:

jscpd Promise API

import {IClone} from '@jscpd/core';
import {jscpd} from 'jscpd';

const clones: Promise<IClone[]> = jscpd(process.argv);

jscpd async/await API

import {IClone} from '@jscpd/core';
import {jscpd} from 'jscpd';
(async () => {
  const clones: IClone[] = await jscpd(['', '', __dirname + '/../fixtures', '-m', 'weak', '--silent']);
  console.log(clones);
})();

detectClones API

import {detectClones} from "jscpd";

(async () => {
  const clones = await detectClones({
    path: [
      __dirname + '/../fixtures'
    ],
    silent: true
  });
  console.log(clones);
})()

detectClones with persist store

import {detectClones} from "jscpd";
import {IMapFrame, MemoryStore} from "@jscpd/core";

(async () => {
  const store = new MemoryStore<IMapFrame>();

  await detectClones({
    path: [
      __dirname + '/../fixtures'
    ],
  }, store);

  await detectClones({
    path: [
      __dirname + '/../fixtures'
    ],
    silent: true
  }, store);
})()

In case of deep customisation of detection process you can build your own tool with @jscpd/core, @jscpd/finder and @jscpd/tokenizer.
