Detector::Javascript::Feathers

Inherits Detector < Reference < Object

Feathers.js (https://feathersjs.com) is a service-based, not route-based, Node.js framework: app.use('/messages', new MessageService()) registers a service, and the framework auto-generates the REST CRUD verbs for whichever of find/get/create/update/patch/remove the service implements. The @feathersjs/* scope is unique to this framework — there is no risk of colliding with plain Express, which is what Feathers' REST transport (@feathersjs/express) is layered on top of.

Constants

PACKAGE_MARKER = /"@feathersjs\/[\w-]+"\s*:/

package.json listing any @feathersjs/* package (feathers, express, koa, socketio, authentication, transport-commons, ...) as a dependency. The scope alone is unambiguous, so a broad "any @feathersjs/<name> key" match is safe.

SOURCE_MARKERS = Regex.union(/(?:require\(|from\s)['"]@feathersjs\/[\w.\/-]+['"]/, /\bfeathers\s*\(\s*\)/, /\.service\s*\(\s*['"][^'"]*['"]\s*\)/)

Source-side evidence: an import/require of any @feathersjs/* module (including submodule specifiers like @feathersjs/express/rest), the feathers() core factory call, or app.service( — the one Feathers-specific API on the app object that plain Express never has.

Class methods

tech_name

The tech name without needing an instance, so the registry can be read off the classes themselves rather than from a parallel list.

Instance methods

applicable?(filename : String) : Bool

Cheap filename-only filter the detector pass uses to skip detect on files the detector cannot possibly match. The default true preserves prior behavior (every detector runs on every file). Override with the same predicate the body of detect starts with — e.g., filename.ends_with?(".py") for a Python framework detector — so the detector loop avoids the detect dispatch on files outside the detector's language.

On large codebases (saleor's 4255 .py files) this lifts ~100 virtual detect calls per file out of the hot loop because most detectors' inner first-line is exactly this kind of cheap filename check.
