> Copy/paste detector for programming source code, supports [150+ formats](../../supported_formats.md).

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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin%E2%80%93Karp_algorithm) algorithm for searching duplications.

## Features
 - Detect duplications in programming source code, use semantic of programing languages, can skip comments, empty lines etc.
 - Detect duplications in embedded blocks of code, like `<script>` or `<style>` sections in html
 - Blame authors of duplications
 - Generate XML report in pmd-cpd format, JSON report, [HTML report](http://kucherenko.github.io/jscpd-report.html)
 - Integrate with CI systems, use thresholds for level of duplications

## Getting started

### Installation
```bash
$ npm install -g jscpd

> Note: A mode can be developed manually, see API section.

 - Cli options: `--mode`, `-m`
 - Type: **string**
 - Default: **mild**
### Format

The list of formats to detect for duplications. Available over [150 formats](../../supported_formats.md).

```

 - Cli options: `--format`, `-f`
 - Type: **string**
 - Default: **{all formats}**
### Blame
Get information about authors and dates of duplicated blocks from git.

 - Cli options: `--blame`, `-b`
 - Type: **boolean**
 - Default: **false**
### Silent
Don't write a lot of information to a console.

Example:
```
$ jscpd /path/to/source --silent
Duplications detection: Found 60 exact clones with 3414(46.81%) duplicated lines in 100 (31 formats) files.
Execution Time: 1381.759ms
```
 - Cli options: `--silent`, `-s`
 - Type: **boolean**
 - Default: **false**
### Absolute
Use the absolute path in reports.


 - Cli options: `--absolute`, `-a`
 - Type: **boolean**

### No Symlinks
Do not follow symlinks.

 - Cli options: `--noSymlinks`, `-n`
 - Type: **boolean**
 - Default: **false**

### Skip Local
Use for detect duplications in different folders only. For correct usage of `--skipLocal` option you should provide list of path's with more than one item.

Example:
```bash
jscpd --skipLocal /path/to/folder1/ /path/to/folder2/
```
will detect clones in separate folders only, clones from same folder will be skipped.


 - Cli options: `--skipLocal`
 - Type: **boolean**
 - Default: **false**

### Formats Extensions
Define the list of formats with file extensions. Available over [150 formats](../../supported_formats.md).

In following example jscpd will analyze files `*.es` and `*.es6` as javascript and `*.dt` files as dart:
```bash
$ jscpd --formats-exts javascript:es,es6;dart:dt /path/to/code
```
> Note: formats defined in the option redefine default configuration, you should define all need formats manually or create two configuration for run `jscpd`

 - Cli options: `--formats-exts`
 - Type: **string**
 - Default: **null**

### Store

Stores used for collect information about code, by default all information collect in memory.

Available stores:
 - **leveldb** - leveldb store all data to files. The store recommended as store for big repositories. Should install @jscpd/leveldb-store before;

> Note: A store can be developed manually, see [@jscpd/finder](../finder) package and [@jscpd/leveldb-store](../leveldb-store) as example.

 - Cli options: `--store`
 - Type: **string**
 - Default: **null**

### Ignore Pattern
Ignore code blocks matching the regexp patterns.

 - Cli options: `--ignore-pattern`
 - Type: **string**
 - Default: **null**

Example:
```
$ jscpd /path/to/source --ignore-pattern "import.*from\s*'.*'"
```
Excludes import statements from the calculation.

## Config File

Put `.jscpd.json` file in the root of the projects:
```json
{
  "threshold": 0,
  "reporters": ["html", "console", "badge"],
  "ignore": ["**/__snapshots__/**"],
  "absolute": true
}
```

Also you can use section in `package.json`:

```json
{
  ...
  "jscpd": {
    "threshold": 0.1,
    "reporters": ["html", "console", "badge"],
    "ignore": ["**/__snapshots__/**"],
    "absolute": true,
    "gitignore": true
  }
  ...
}


```

### Exit code

By default, the tool exits with code 0 even when code duplications were
detected. This behaviour can be changed by specifying a custom exit
code for error states.

Example:
```bash
jscpd --exitCode 1 .
```

- Cli options: `--exitCode`
- Type: **number**
- Default: **0**


## Ignored Blocks

Mark blocks in code as ignored:
```javascript
/* jscpd:ignore-start */
import lodash from 'lodash';
import React from 'react';
import {User} from './models';
import {UserService} from './services';
/* jscpd:ignore-end */
```

## API


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

`jscpd` Promise API
```typescript
import {IClone} from '@jscpd/core';
import {jscpd} from 'jscpd';

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

`jscpd` async/await API
```typescript
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
```typescript
import {detectClones} from "jscpd";

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

`detectClones` with persist store
```typescript
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:
If you are going to detect clones in file system you can use [@jscpd/finder](../finder) for make a powerful detector.
In case of detect clones in browser or not node.js environment you can build your own solution base on [@jscpd/code](../core)
