Hoaxwagen detects Volkswagen in dependencies. Brilliantly.

---

Why?

Under no circumstances Americans (accoring to Volkswagen package page) shall be deceived! Tests are essential! Tests are one of the most important tools in developers world! But what they did... they deceived us! How dare they do it?! How dare they tamper tests!? Just to get a nice green shield in README!?? It's miserable! If one doesn't want to write tests, he shouldn't be a developer, he really should not! As the head of the Clean-Code Group, I present you the flawless tool for eradicating such a disease! Use it everywhere, anytime!

How would I get it?

Use Yarn. (Or npm). yarn add hoaxwagen or npm install hoaxwagen will do exactly as the commands say. Or, using it as a CLI, yarn global add hoaxwagen or npm install -g hoaxwagen

Not really hard, is it?

How would I use it?

Well, you have two options: either to use require(), or to run a CLI

Using as a library

Somewhere in your javascript project or, even better, in Webpack (or whatever tool you use), include the following code snippet:

require('hoaxwagen').monitor();

// continue adding whatever usually needs to be added

That's it!

And, while building, you might see this:

✅ Clean!

or, occasionally, this:

🚨 WARNING 🚨

Volkswagen 🛴 is detected in the following packages:
├─ ugly-package-1 @ 0.0.0 (yarn.pm/ugly-package-1)
├─ ugly-package-2 @ 0.0.0 (yarn.pm/ugly-package-2)
└─ ugly-package-3 @ 0.0.0 (yarn.pm/ugly-package-3)

🚧🕳 BE AWARE OF POSSIBLE FUTURE CONSEQUENCES!

Library methods

There're actually several things you can do apart from observing a warning message in the webpack:

Method name	Description	Return value	Appeared in
isFraud()	Checks if Volkswagen library exists in node_modules	boolean	v1.0.0
monitor()	Shows an alert if isFraud() returns true	void	v1.0.0
getPackages()	Returns a list of packages that uses Volkswagen	IPackage	v1.0.1

interface IPackage {
    name:    string;
    version: string;
    yarn:    string; // URL link to package
    path:    string; // absolute path
}

As an example, let's go over the packages that use Volkswagen:

const hoax = require("hoaxwagen");

const rogues = hoax.getPackages(); // yeah, let's get them out!

rogues.forEach(p => { // p is an IPackage
  console.log(p.name);
});

Running as CLI

Using a CLI is much simpler. Install hoaxwagen like this: yarn global add hoaxwagen or npm i -g hoaxwagen

Run hoaxwagen in terminal, in any javascript project folder, and it will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes:

Well, I've got bad news for you...

Volkswagen was detected in the following packages:
├─ long-package @ 1.0.0 (yarn.pm/long-package) in /Users/user/path/to/long-package
└─ package      @ 2.0.0 (yarn.pm/package)      in /Users/user/path/to/package

or a boring version:

✅ Clean!

Actually, the use of the rabbit hole allegory was a little too generous. What this library is definitely not going to do is show you the dependency map. Search by yourself. (No offence).

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Look at it! Such a nice shield we've made for you! Feel free to use everywhere!

Including it in your README will make the code run 1000x faster look better than without it, I swear!

Use it in markdown like this:

[![Not using VW](https://hoax.gq/not-using-vw.svg)](https://hoax.gq)

In html use this:

<a href="https://hoax.gq"><img alt="Not using VW" src="https://hoax.gq/not-using-vw.svg"></a>

Or print it out and stick it on the things:

Contributing to Hoaxwagen

Contributions are always welcome. There's no code of conduct, so feel free to do whatever you want, yeah!

But don't forget to give it a star!
