A tool to detect programming languages in a directory.

LngDetectoR

LngDetectoR is a Python tool designed to analyze directories and detect the programming languages used within files. It generates a comprehensive report detailing the count of files, lines of code, and the percentage of each language present.

Installation

To install LngDetectoR, you can use pip:

pip install LngDetectoR

Usage

As a Command Line Tool

LngDetectoR can be utilized directly from the command line. Basic usage is as follows:

lngdetector --directory <path-to-directory>

• --directory: Specifies the directory to analyze. If not specified, it defaults to the current working directory.

As a Python Module

LngDetectoR can also be used within your Python scripts.

Example:

from lngdetector.detect import generate_report

# Generate a report for the specified directory
report = generate_report('/path/to/your/project')

# Display the report in a pretty table format
report.print_pretty_table()

# Retrieve data for a specific language
python_data = report.get_language_data('Python')
print(f"Python files: {python_data['count']}, lines of code: {python_data['lines']}")

Output Example

When you run LngDetectoR, it generates a table with the detected languages, file counts, lines of code, and their percentage contributions. Here's an example of what the output might look like:

Total files: 50
Total lines of code: 1200
+------------+------------+---------------+------------+
|  Language  | File Count | Lines of Code | Percentage |
+------------+------------+---------------+------------+
| Python     |     20     |      500      |   41.67%   |
| JavaScript |     15     |      350      |   29.17%   |
| HTML       |     10     |      200      |   16.67%   |
