Needleant

Needleant is a source code static analyzer that calculates the entropy of code as message between developers.

Read more about the motivation behind here.

Usage

const code = 'const a = 4;'
const analysis = new NeedleAnt(code).entropy()
const entropyValue = analysis.calculate()

Release

• Increase version in package.json
• run npm run build
• run cd dist/ && npm publish

Roadmap

• Handle undefined variable (a, let b; b + 1; a;)
• Handle undefined variable inside function (to which scope to add)
• Handle string literal templates
• Add available scope to divisor (instead of just already-defined variables): Fix const f = x => x; class C {}
• Handle member access properly (instead of counting already-encountered accesses)
• Handle inter-modules dependencies (tests are commented for now)
• Check TODO s
• Add weighted probabilities/entropies
• Add property tests
