Import checker

JS|TS import statement report generator

Why

This project was created to automate the analyzis of which component from @blendle/lego (react component library) is been used in all 4 web projects. With the all imports, an csv file is generated containing:

<file-path>;<component-name>;<project-name>

Later this data is used in a Google Sheets which shows us visually what's the most and less used component within the library.

What's behind

In order to make this analyses, it uses:

• Typescript (just because it's nice to have types :p)
• nodeJS file system;
• @babel/parser: to create an Abstract Syntax Tree object and understand what's an import;
• glob: to get the absolute path of all desired files

Workflow

It's a very simple workflow, where:

1. It's defined the absolute path of each project;
2. With that, it runs glob and get it back all files;
3. Each file is read by node fs and has its content analyzed babel parser;
4. It walks through the AST and filters only Statements type of import and which it's from @blendle/lego;
5. With the component name and file path, it creates a CSV record previously described;
6. With all CSV records, it generates the report file;

How to run

First, clone this project.

Then, install the dependencies:

yarn

Then, run report command:

yarn report

A file report.csv will be created in the root folder with all data analized.
