What Goes in Config?

include

An array of glob patterns to include, defaults to ['*'].

Examples

Typescript would be:

{
  "include": ["**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx"]
}

Go would be:

{
  "include": ["**/*.go"]
}

exclude

An array of glob patterns to exclude, defaults to [].

Examples

For node you would probably want

{
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

groups

A group is a specific criteria to search for in the code. It will then be presented back as number of lines that qualify for the group, and as a percentage what that group represents in the code. This is useful for comment, documentation blocks or specific class/function detection (detecting reuse). A block is defined in terms of a regex that matches the start of that block, and another regex that matches the end of that block (with lines counted between those blocks)

Examples

For something like comment/documentation blocks where the code looks like:

/**
 * A button.
 *
 * @param label: Text to show on the button
 *
 * @example
 *
 * <Button
 *   label="Hello World"
 * />
 *
 * @returns JSX.Element
 *
 * @alpha
 */

You would want to match everything between /** and */:

{
  "groups": [
    {
      "name": "documentation",
      "between": {
        "start": "^\\/\\*\\*",
        "end": "^ \\*/$"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Be careful to correctly escape your regexs
