## API

The package is available by importing its default function:

```js
import staticAnalysis from 'static-analysis'
```

The types and [externs](externs.js) for _Google Closure Compiler_ via [**_Depack_**](https://github.com/dpck/depack) are defined in the `_staticAnalysis` namespace.



## async staticAnalysis(
  `path: string|!Array,`
  `config: !Config,`
): !Array
Detects all dependencies in a file and their dependencies recursively. Returns the array with detections.

- path* (string \| !Array<string>): The path to the file in which to detect dependencies.
- config* !Config: The configuration options for `staticAnalysis`.

It is possible to pass multiple paths or a path to the directory which has `index.js` or `index.jsx` files. If the package exports `main` over `module`, the `hasMain` property will be added. This function can be useful to find out all files to pass to the Google Closure Compiler, for example, which is what [_Depack_](https://github.com/dpck/depack) does to bundle frontend code and compile Node.js packages.

- The package does not build an AST, it just looks for `import` and `require` statements using regular expressions. Therefore, there's also no tree-shaking or complete analysis of the real dependencies.
- If a source is imported like `import fn from '@idio/preact/build/fn`, then the analysis will not contain `@idio/preact` as a `node_module` dependency with the `packageJson`, `name` and `version` fields, it will only appear as an entry file.

__`Config`__: The configuration options for `staticAnalysis`.


Name
Type & Description
Default


nodeModules
boolean
true




Whether to include packages from node_modules in the output.



shallow
boolean
false




Only report on the entries of node_module dependencies, without analysing their own dependencies.



soft
boolean
false




Do not throw an error when the dependency cannot be found in node_modules.



mergeSameNodeModules
boolean
true




For situation when inner node_modules contain already referenced node_modules, this will ensure that only the top-level ones with the same version are matched.
For example, there can be node_modules/a & node_modules/b packages, and the later one can contain node_modules/b/node_modules/a of the same version as a (e.g., if the structure wasn't flattened by something like yarn upgrade). In this case, only the top one is returned.



fields
!Array<string>
-




Any additional fields from package.json files to return.

_For example, for the given file_:
```js
import read from '@wrote/read'
import { resolve } from 'path'
import { render } from 'preact'
import Fixture from '@idio/preact-fixture/src/Test'

const Component = require('./Component');

(async () => {
const file = await read(resolve('example'))
render(
{file}

, document.body)
})()
```

_Static Analysis can detect matches using the following script_:
```js
/* yarn example/ */
import staticAnalysis from 'static-analysis'

(async () => {
const res = await staticAnalysis('example/source.js')
console.log(res)
})()
```
```js
[ { entry: 'node_modules/@wrote/read/src/index.js',
packageJson: 'node_modules/@wrote/read/package.json',
version: '1.0.4',
name: '@wrote/read',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ internal: 'path', from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ entry: 'node_modules/preact/dist/preact.mjs',
packageJson: 'node_modules/preact/package.json',
version: '8.5.2',
name: 'preact',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ package: '@idio/preact-fixture',
entry: 'node_modules/@idio/preact-fixture/src/Test.jsx',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ entry: 'example/Component.jsx',
required: true,
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ internal: 'fs',
from: [ 'node_modules/@wrote/read/src/index.js' ] },
{ entry: 'node_modules/catchment/src/index.js',
packageJson: 'node_modules/catchment/package.json',
version: '3.3.0',
name: 'catchment',
from: [ 'node_modules/@wrote/read/src/index.js' ] },
{ internal: 'stream',
from: [ 'node_modules/catchment/src/index.js' ] },
{ entry: 'node_modules/erotic/src/index.js',
packageJson: 'node_modules/erotic/package.json',
version: '2.1.1',
name: 'erotic',
from: [ 'node_modules/catchment/src/index.js' ] },
{ entry: 'node_modules/@artdeco/clean-stack/src/index.js',
packageJson: 'node_modules/@artdeco/clean-stack/package.json',
version: '1.1.1',
name: '@artdeco/clean-stack',
from:
[ 'node_modules/catchment/src/index.js',
'node_modules/erotic/src/callback.js' ] },
{ package: 'catchment',
entry: 'node_modules/catchment/src/lib/index.js',
from: [ 'node_modules/catchment/src/index.js' ] },
{ package: 'erotic',
entry: 'node_modules/erotic/src/lib.js',
from:
[ 'node_modules/erotic/src/index.js',
'node_modules/erotic/src/callback.js' ] },
{ package: 'erotic',
entry: 'node_modules/erotic/src/callback.js',
from: [ 'node_modules/erotic/src/index.js' ] },
{ internal: 'os',
from: [ 'node_modules/@artdeco/clean-stack/src/index.js' ] } ]
```

__`Detection`__: The module detection result.

| Name | Type | Description |
| ----------- | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| entry | string | The path to the JavaScript file to be required. If an internal Node.js package is required, it's name is found in the `internal` field. |
| __from*__ | !Array<string> | The file in which the dependency was found. |
| packageJson | string | The path to the `package.json` file of the dependency if it's a module. |
| name | string | The name of the package. |
| version | string | The version of the package. |
| internal | string | If it's an internal NodeJS dependency, such as `fs` or `path`, contains its name. |
| hasMain | boolean | Whether the entry from the package was specified via the `main` field and not `module` field. |
| package | string | If the entry is a library file withing a package, this field contains its name. Same as the `name` field for the _main/module_ entries. |
| required | boolean | Whether the package was required using the `require` statement. |



### Ignore Node_Modules

It is possible to ignore `node_modules` folders. In this case, only dependencies that start with `./` or `/` will be included in the output.

```js
import staticAnalysis from 'static-analysis'

(async () => {
const res = await staticAnalysis('example/source.js', {
nodeModules: false,
})
console.log(res)
})()
```
```js
[ { entry: 'example/Component.jsx',
required: true,
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] } ]
```



### Shallow Node_Modules

To only report the entry to the dependency from `node_modules` without analysing its dependency, the `shallow` options can be set.

```js
import staticAnalysis from 'static-analysis'

(async () => {
const res = await staticAnalysis('example/source.js', {
shallow: true,
})
console.log(res)
})()
```
```js
[ { entry: 'node_modules/@wrote/read/src/index.js',
packageJson: 'node_modules/@wrote/read/package.json',
version: '1.0.4',
name: '@wrote/read',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ internal: 'path', from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ entry: 'node_modules/preact/dist/preact.mjs',
packageJson: 'node_modules/preact/package.json',
version: '8.5.2',
name: 'preact',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ package: '@idio/preact-fixture',
entry: 'node_modules/@idio/preact-fixture/src/Test.jsx',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ entry: 'example/Component.jsx',
required: true,
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] } ]
```



### Soft Mode

_Static Analysis_ will try to figure out entry points of package dependencies by looking up their `package.json` in the `node_modules` folder. If it cannot find this file, an error will be throw. To prevent the error, and exclude the module from appearing the results, the `soft` mode can be activated.

_With the following file being analysed:_

```jsx
import missing from 'missing'
import { render } from 'preact'

render(

Hello World
)
```

_The program will throw initially, but will skip the missing dependency in **soft mode**:_

```js
import staticAnalysis from 'static-analysis'

(async () => {
try {
const res = await staticAnalysis('example/missing-dep')
console.log(res)
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
}
})()

;(async () => {
const res = await staticAnalysis('example/missing-dep', {
soft: true,
})
console.log('Soft mode on.')
console.log(res)
})()
```
```js
Error: example/missing-dep.jsx
[!] Package.json for module missing not found.
at staticAnalysis (src/index.js:12:13)
at example/soft.js:5:23
at Object. (example/soft.js:10:3)
at Module.p._compile (node_modules/alamode/compile/depack.js:49:18)
at Object.k.(anonymous function).y._extensions.(anonymous function) [as .js] (node_modules/alamode/compile/depack.js:51:7)
Soft mode on.
[ { entry: 'node_modules/preact/dist/preact.mjs',
packageJson: 'node_modules/preact/package.json',
version: '8.5.2',
name: 'preact',
from: [ 'example/missing-dep.jsx' ] } ]
```



### Fields

To make _Static Analysis_ return any additional fields from _package.json_ files on detected dependencies, they should be specified in the `fields` config property.

```js
import staticAnalysis from 'static-analysis'

(async () => {
const res = await staticAnalysis('example/source', {
fields: ['license', 'homepage'],
shallow: true,
})
console.log(res)
})()
```
```js
[ { entry: 'node_modules/@wrote/read/src/index.js',
packageJson: 'node_modules/@wrote/read/package.json',
version: '1.0.4',
name: '@wrote/read',
license: 'MIT',
homepage: 'https://github.com/wrote/read#readme',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ internal: 'path', from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ entry: 'node_modules/preact/dist/preact.mjs',
packageJson: 'node_modules/preact/package.json',
version: '8.5.2',
name: 'preact',
license: 'MIT',
homepage: 'https://github.com/developit/preact',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ package: '@idio/preact-fixture',
entry: 'node_modules/@idio/preact-fixture/src/Test.jsx',
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] },
{ entry: 'example/Component.jsx',
required: true,
from: [ 'example/source.js' ] } ]
```



### Multiple Entries

It's possible to scan multiple files at ones, taking advantage of intermediate caching of results (i.e., after a file has been read ones, it won't be read again, but its `from` field will contain all files that required it).

```js
const res = await staticAnalysis([
'test/fixture/multiple/a.js',
'test/fixture/multiple/b.js',
])
console.log(res)
```
```js
[ { entry: 'test/fixture/multiple/index.js',
from:
[ 'test/fixture/multiple/a.js', 'test/fixture/multiple/b.js' ] },
{ entry: 'node_modules/preact/dist/preact.mjs',
packageJson: 'node_modules/preact/package.json',
version: '8.5.2',
name: 'preact',
from: [ 'test/fixture/multiple/a.js' ] } ]
```
