Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to install enry is to either [download a release](https://github.com/src-d/enry/releases) or
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get github.com/src-d/enry/cmd/enry
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This project is now part of [source{d} Engine](https://sourced.tech/engine),
|
|
which provides the simplest way to get started with a single command.
|
|
Visit [sourced.tech/engine](https://sourced.tech/engine) for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
lang, safe := enry.GetLanguageByExtension("foo.go")
|
|
fmt.Println(lang, safe)
|
|
// result: Go true
|
|
|
|
lang, safe := enry.GetLanguageByContent("foo.m", []byte("<matlab-code>"))
|
|
fmt.Println(lang, safe)
|
|
// result: Matlab true
|
|
|
|
lang, safe := enry.GetLanguageByContent("bar.m", []byte("<objective-c-code>"))
|
|
fmt.Println(lang, safe)
|
|
// result: Objective-C true
|
|
|
|
// all strategies together
|
|
lang := enry.GetLanguage("foo.cpp", []byte("<cpp-code>"))
|
|
// result: C++ true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the returned boolean value `safe` is set either to `true`, if there is only one possible language detected, or to `false` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
To get a list of possible languages for a given file, you can use the plural version of the detecting functions.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
langs := enry.GetLanguages("foo.h", []byte("<cpp-code>"))
|
|
// result: []string{"C", "C++", "Objective-C}
|
|
|
|
langs := enry.GetLanguagesByExtension("foo.asc", []byte("<content>"), nil)
|
|
// result: []string{"AGS Script", "AsciiDoc", "Public Key"}
|
|
|
|
langs := enry.GetLanguagesByFilename("Gemfile", []byte("<content>"), []string{})
|
|
// result: []string{"Ruby"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
CLI
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You can use enry as a command,
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ enry --help
|
|
enry v2.0.0 build: 05-08-2019_20_40_35 commit: 6ccf0b6, based on linguist commit: e456098
|
|
enry, A simple (and faster) implementation of github/linguist
|
|
usage: enry [-mode=(file|line|byte)] [-prog] <path>
|
|
enry [-mode=(file|line|byte)] [-prog] [-json] [-breakdown] <path>
|
|
enry [-mode=(file|line|byte)] [-prog] [-json] [-breakdown]
|
|
enry [-version]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and on repository root, it'll return an output similar to *linguist*'s output,
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ enry
|
|
97.71% Go
|
|
1.60% C

```
|
|
|
|
but not only the output; its flags are also the same as *linguist*'s ones,
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ enry --breakdown
|
|
97.71% Go

|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that enry's CLI **_doesn't need a git repository to work_**, which is intentionally different from the linguist.
|
|
|
|
## Java bindings
|
|
|
|
|
|
Generated Java bindings using a C shared library and JNI are available under [`java`](https://github.com/src-d/enry/blob/master/java) and published on Maven at [tech.sourced:enry-java](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/tech.sourced/enry-java) for macOS and linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Python bindings
|
|
Generated Python bindings using a C shared library and cffi are not available yet and are WIP under [src-d/enry#154](https://github.com/src-d/enry/issues/154).
|
|
|
|
Divergences from linguist
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The `enry` library is based on the data from `github/linguist` version **v7.5.1**.
|
|
|
|
As opposed to linguist, `enry` [CLI tool](#cli) does *not* require a full Git repository in the filesystem in order to report languages.
|
|
|
|
Parsing [linguist/samples](https://github.com/github/linguist/tree/master/samples) the following `enry` results are different from linguist:
|
|
|
|
* [Heuristics for ".es" extension](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/e761f9b013e5b61161481fcb898b59721ee40e3d/lib/linguist/heuristics.yml#L103) in JavaScript could not be parsed, due to unsupported backreference in RE2 regexp engine.
|
|
|
|
* [Heuristics for ".rno" extension](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/3a1bd3c3d3e741a8aaec4704f782e06f5cd2a00d/lib/linguist/heuristics.yml#L365) in RUNOFF could not be parsed, due to unsupported lookahead in RE2 regexp engine.
|
|
|
|
* As of [Linguist v5.3.2](https://github.com/github/linguist/releases/tag/v5.3.2) it is using [flex-based scanner in C for tokenization](https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/3846). Enry still uses [extract_token](https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/3846/files#diff-d5179df0b71620e3fac4535cd1368d15L60) regex-based algorithm. See [#193](https://github.com/src-d/enry/issues/193).
|
|
|
|
* Bayesian classifier can't distinguish "SQL" from "PLpgSQL. See [#194](https://github.com/src-d/enry/issues/194).
|
|
|
|
* Detection of [generated files](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/bf95666fc15e49d556f2def4d0a85338423c25f3/lib/linguist/generated.rb#L53) is not supported yet.
|
|
(Thus they are not excluded from CLI output). See [#213](https://github.com/src-d/enry/issues/213).
|
|
|
|
* XML detection strategy is not implemented. See [#192](https://github.com/src-d/enry/issues/192).
|
|
|
|
* Overriding languages and types though `.gitattributes` is not yet supported. See [#18](https://github.com/src-d/enry/issues/18).
|
|
|
|
* `enry` CLI output does NOT exclude `.gitignore`ed files and git submodules, as linguist does
|
|
|
|
In all the cases above that have an issue number - we plan to update enry to match Linguist behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Benchmarks
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Enry's language detection has been compared with Linguist's one. In order to do that, Linguist's project directory [*linguist/samples*](https://github.com/github/linguist/tree/master/samples) was used as a set of files to run benchmarks against.
|
|
|
|
We got these results:
|
|
|
|
![histogram](benchmarks/histogram/distribution.png)
|
|
|
|
The histogram shows the number of files detected (y-axis) per time interval bucket (x-axis). As one can see, most of the files were detected faster by enry.
|
|
|
|
We found few cases where enry turns slower than linguist due to
|
|
Go regexp engine being slower than Ruby's, based on [oniguruma](https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma) library, written in C.
|
|
|
|
See [instructions](#misc) for running enry with oniguruma.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why Enry?
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
In the movie [My Fair Lady](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Fair_Lady), [Professor Henry Higgins](http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0011719/?ref_=tt_cl_t2) is one of the main characters. Henry is a linguist and at the very beginning of the movie enjoys guessing the origin of people based on their accent.
|
|
|
|
"Enry Iggins" is how [Eliza Doolittle](http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0011720/?ref_=tt_cl_t1), [pronounces](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwNKyTktDIE) the name of the Professor during the first half of the movie.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
To build enry's CLI run:
|
|
|
|
make build
|
|
|
|
this will generate a binary in the project's root directory called `enry`.
|
|
|
|
To run the tests:
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Sync with github/linguist upstream
|
|
|
|
*enry* re-uses parts of the original [github/linguist](https://github.com/github/linguist) to generate internal data structures.
|
|
In order to update to the latest release of linguist do:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/github/linguist.git .linguist
|
|
$ cd .linguist; git checkout <release-tag>; cd ..
|
|
|
|
# put the new release's commit sha in the generator_test.go (to re-generate .gold test fixtures)
|
|
# https://github.com/src-d/enry/blob/13d3d66d37a87f23a013246a1b0678c9ee3d524b/internal/code-generator/generator/generator_test.go#L18
|
|
|
|
$ make code-generate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To stay in sync, enry needs to be updated when a new release of the linguist includes changes to any of the following files:
|
|
|
|
* [languages.yml](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/languages.yml)
|
|
* [heuristics.yml](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/heuristics.yml)
|
|
* [vendor.yml](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/vendor.yml)
|
|
* [documentation.yml](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/documentation.yml)
|
|
|
|
There is no automation for detecting the changes in the linguist project, so this process above has to be done manually from time to time.
|
|
|
|
When submitting a pull request syncing up to a new release, please make sure it only contains the changes in
|
|
the generated files (in [data](https://github.com/src-d/enry/blob/master/data) subdirectory).
|
|
|
|
Separating all the necessary "manual" code changes to a different PR that includes some background description and an update to the documentation on ["divergences from linguist"](##divergences-from-linguist) is very much appreciated as it simplifies the maintenance (review/release notes/etc).

## Misc
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
|
|
### Benchmark
|
|
|
|
All benchmark scripts are in [*benchmarks*](https://github.com/src-d/enry/blob/master/benchmarks) directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Dependencies
|
|
As benchmarks depend on Ruby and Github-Linguist gem make sure you have:
|
|
- Ruby (e.g using [`rbenv`](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv)), [`bundler`](https://bundler.io/) installed
|
|
- Docker
|
|
- [native dependencies](https://github.com/github/linguist/#dependencies) installed
|
|
- Build the gem `cd .linguist && bundle install && rake build_gem && cd -`
|
|
- Install it `gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri --local .linguist/github-linguist-*.gem`
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Quick benchmark
|
|
To run quicker benchmarks you can either:
|
|
|
|
make benchmarks
|
|
|
|
to get average times for the main detection function and strategies for the whole samples set or:
|
|
|
|
make benchmarks-samples
|
|
|
|
if you want to see measures per sample file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Full benchmark
|
|
If you want to reproduce the same benchmarks as reported above:
|
|
- Make sure all [dependencies](#benchmark-dependencies) are installed
|
|
- Install [gnuplot](http://gnuplot.info) (in order to plot the histogram)
|
|
- Run `ENRY_TEST_REPO="$PWD/.linguist" benchmarks/run.sh` (takes ~15h)
|
|
|
|
It will run the benchmarks for enry and linguist, parse the output, create csv files and plot the histogram.
|
|
|
|
### Faster regexp engine (optional)
|
|
|
|
[Oniguruma](https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma) is CRuby's regular expression engine.
|
|
It is very fast and performs better than the one built into Go runtime. *enry* supports swapping
|
|
between those two engines thanks to [rubex](https://github.com/moovweb/rubex) project.
|
|
The typical overall speedup from using Oniguruma is 1.5-2x. However, it requires CGo and the external shared library.
|
|
On macOS with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), it is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
brew install oniguruma
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu, it is
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install libonig-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build enry with Oniguruma regexps use the `oniguruma` build tag
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get -v -t --tags oniguruma ./...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and then rebuild the project.
