Source Code Analysis Scope

Files includes and excluded from analyses

txt

mjs

13 extensions are included in analyses: vue, js, svg, scss, md, html, yaml, css, gitignore, txt, sh, mjs, json
3 criteria are used to exclude files from analysis:

exclude files with path like ".*/[.][a-zA-Z0-9_]+.*" (Hidden files and folders) (2 files).
exclude files with path like ".*/git[-]history[.]txt" (Git history) (1 file).
exclude files with path like ".*/git[-][a-zA-Z0-9_]+[.]txt" (Git data exports for sokrates analyses) (0 files).

The source code folder contains 27 files:

17 files are included in analyses.
10 files are excluded from analyses:

Overview of Analyzed Files

Basic stats on analyzed files

Intro

For analysis purposes we separate files in scope into several categories: main, test, generated, deployment and build, and other.

The main category contains all manually created source code files that are being used in the production.
Files in the main category are used as input for other analyses: logical decomposition, concerns, duplication, file size, unit size, and conditional complexity.
Test source code files are used only for testing of the product. These files are normally not deployed to production.
Build and deployment source code files are used to configure or support build and deployment process.
Generated source code files are automatically generated files that have not been manually changed after generation.
While a source code folder may contain a number of files, we are primarily interested in the source code files that are being written and maintained by developers.
Files containing binaries, documentation, or third-party libraries, for instance, are excluded from analysis. The exception are third-party libraries that have been changed by developers.

Main Code

All manually created or maintained source code that defines logic of the product that is run in a production environment.

mjs

The following criteria are used to filter files:

files with paths like ".*".

14 files match defined criteria (382 LOC, 100.0% vs. main code):

4 *.vue files (189 LOC)
4 *.js files (73 LOC)
2 *.scss files (46 LOC)
2 *.html files (41 LOC)
1 *.mjs files (30 LOC)
1 *.css files (3 LOC)

" *.vue" is biggest, containing 49.48% of LOC.
" *.css" is smallest, containing 0.79% of LOC.

Build and Deployment Code

Source code used to configure or support build and deployment process.

Explore: circles | sunburst

The following criteria are used to filter files:

files with paths like ".*[.]sh".
files with paths like ".*/package[.]json".
files with paths like ".*[.]git[a-z]+".
files with paths like ".*/[.]gitignore".

1 file matches defined criteria (16 LOC, 4.2% vs. main code). All matches are in *.sh files.

Other Code

Explore: circles | sunburst

The following criteria are used to filter files:

files with paths like ".*[.]md".
files with paths like ".*/README[.][a-z0-9]+".
files with paths like ".*[.]json".
files with paths like ".*/[.]gitignore".
files with paths like ".*[.]txt".

2 files match defined criteria (87 LOC, 22.8% vs. main code):

1 *.md files (46 LOC)
1 *.json files (41 LOC)

" *.md" is biggest, containing 52.87% of LOC.
" *.json" is smallest, containing 47.13% of LOC.

Analyzers
