clocviz is a command line tool used to analyze a target codebase and render interactive visualizations; users can traverse the file tree with a simple mouse click and see statistics including lines by file, lines by language, percentage composition per language, etc.
clocviz is primarily written in Go, using the language's templates and web server capabilities to reduce dependencies. Visualizations are performed through D3.js and vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.
Please note that clocviz is an extension of cloc.
As of v1.0.0, installation requires usage of the Go compiler.
Any version of go 1.1x should work but go 1.13+ is preferred.
As per go.mod, clocviz has the following dependencies:
go 1.15
require (
github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice v1.0.2
github.com/google/go-cmp v0.5.4
github.com/gorilla/mux v1.8.0
github.com/pkg/errors v0.9.1
)
To build a clocviz executable:
- Clone this repo
- Run
go getto get dependencies noted above - Run
go build.
clocviz can either be run on a local directory on your machine or on a target remote repository from GitHub.
// Local Directories
clocviz [dir] // Ex: 'clocviz .' will visualize your pwd
// Remote Git Repos
clocviz [user]/[dir] // Ex: 'clocviz BurntSushi/ripgrep' will visualize https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep
The command will start a web server (on port 8080 by default), open localhost on your default browser, and render your interactive chart therein.
Although clocviz was designed as an educational project, any contributions or suggestions are greatly appreciated! If you would like to contribute to the codebase, please follow these steps:
1. Create an issue
2. Fork the repo
3. Create a branch*
4. Make your changes
5. Write unit tests as applicable
6. Format the codebase using 'go fmt'*
7. Ensure that your changes passes all tests using 'go test'
8. Squash your changes to as few commits as possible*
9. Make a pull request*
*Please use the issue number and name when possible to improve clarity and project maintainability (i.e. "134-AddTernaryOperator"). Additionally, please adhere to Conventional Commits standards.
This project would not have have been possible without the following resources:
- AlDanial/cloc for the inspiration and backbone of this project.
- vasturiano/sunburst-chart for abstracting away most of the D3.js learning curve.
- fabrizzio-gz for building out the vast majority of the front-end and introducing dynamic updating.
