DX Scanner is an open source CLI tool that allows you to “measure” Developer Experience directly based on your source code. DX Scanner recommends practices that can help you with improving your product development. You can fix some problems automatically with just one command.

Options for dx-scanner run

Usage: dx-scanner run [path] [options]

Scan your project for possible DX recommendations

Options:
  -a --authorization <authorization>  credentials to the repository (in format "token" or "username:token"; can be set as ENV variable DX_GIT_SERVICE_TOKEN)
  --ci                                CI mode (default: false)
  -d --details                        print details in reports
  --fail <impact>                     exits process with code 1 for any non-practicing condition of given level (high|medium|small|hint|off|all) (default: "high")
  --fix                               tries to fix problems automatically (default: false)
  --fixPattern <pattern>              fix only rules with IDs matching the regex
  -j --json                           print report in JSON (default: false)
  -r --recursive                      scan all components recursively in all sub folders (default: false)
  -h, --help                          output usage information

Examples:
  dx-scanner run
  dx-scanner run ./ --fail=high
  dx-scanner run github.com/DXHeroes/dx-scanner

Auto-fixer

Fix problems detected by DX Scanner automatically.

dx-scanner run [PATH] --fix

This will try to fix all fixable practices which are not being practices yet. If you want to omit a practice from automatic fixing, you can do it in the configuration file (see below).

You can also specify fixPattern flag to fix only a subset of fixable practices.

dx-scanner run [PATH] --fix --fixPattern=lint

Please note, that fixPattern flag overrides fix settings from configuration file. Therefore practices ommited from fixing by configuration file, but included through fixPattern will be fixed.

Configuration ⚙️

Add dxscannerrc.* config file to change default configuration settings. It can be a .json, .yml, or even a dotfile!

You can also run dx-scanner init to initialize config automatically.

Practices

You can switch off practices that you do not want to scan, change their impact level, and even override their default values. To do so, refer to the id of the practice and specify your configuration.

Example dxscannerrc.json:

{
    "practices": {
        "JavaScript.GitignoreCorrectlySet": "medium",
        "JavaScript.LoggerUsed": "off",
        "LanguageIndependent.DoesPullRequests": {
          "impact": "small"
        },
        "JavaScript.ESLintWithoutErrorsPractice": {
          "fix": true
        },
        "LanguageIndependent.ThinPullRequestsPractice": {
          "impact": "high",
          "override": {
            "measurePullRequestCount": 500
          }
        }
    }
}

In order to override the default values of certain practices, specify override and nest the correct overridable variables.

Example dxscannerrc.yaml:

---
practices:
  JavaScript.GitignoreCorrectlySet: medium
  JavaScript.LoggerUsed: 'off'
  LanguageIndependent.DoesPullRequests:
    impact: small
  JavaScript.ESLintWithoutErrorsPractice:
    fix: true
  LanguageIndependent.ThinPullRequestsPractice:
    impact: high
    override:
      measurePullRequestCount: 500

Github CI Action

Basic example: run DX Scanner on each push to the repo

Create .github/workflows/main.yml.

name: DX Scanner
on: push
jobs:
  dx-scanner:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - name: Runs DX Scanner on the code
        uses: DXHeroes/dx-scanner@master
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Generate your Github personal token and set it as an encrypted secret named GITHUB_TOKEN.

Score Computation 💯

The impact of each practice is represented by a specific value. DX Scanner uses these values to calculate the overall DX Score.

high = 100 points

medium = 75 points

small = 50 points 

hint = 25 points

The practices you have switched off are not included in the calculation (0 points).
