Allow programmatic usage about jscpd HOT 4 CLOSED

for now you can use program interface, but it is little bit poor, will add this request to plans

from jscpd.

The second argument in the addFile method be the contents of the file, right? Then maybe rename it to something more generic to make it clear this is not reading a file, but expecting a string? If it should work on large codebases, maybe instead of strings also consider a stream interface that could then either have files or any other source. Otherwise 👍 on this.

It would be also nice to be able to remove files, so you can compare the duplication results of two different versions of your code files.

Example:

var Detector = require('jscpd').Detector;

var detector = new Detector();

// add files of version 1
detector.addFile('foo.js', 'console.log("hello world")');
detector.addFile('bar.js', 'console.log("hello world")');
detector.addFile('baz.js', 'console.log("hello world")');

var resultOfVersion1 = detector.run();

// apply changes for version 2
detector.addFile('bar.js', 'console.log("changed file")');
detector.removeFile('baz.js');
// don’t add 'foo.js' because it didn’t change

var resultOfVersion2 = detector.run();

console.log('Your code duplication increased/decreased by:', compareResults(resultOfVersion1, resultOfVersion2), 'percent');
