A type responsible for reporting codemod changes.

  • Method Details

    • getSummary

      String getSummary()

    • getDescription

      String getDescription()

    • getChange

      String getChange(Path path, CodemodChange change)

    • getReferences

      List<String> getReferences()

    • fromClasspath

      static CodemodReporterStrategy fromClasspath(Class<? extends CodeChanger> codemodType)
      A CodemodReporterStrategy that reports based on text from a predictable location on classpath. This is an alternative to storing data inline to the Java source code of your CodeChanger. It's easier to maintain this "data" outside of code, so we prefer a simple mechanism for doing that. Both the files read are expected to be in 
      /com/acme/MyCodemod/
      (assuming that's the name of your codemod type.)

      The first expected file in that directory is report.json. It contains most of the fields we want to report: 

      
 {
     "summary": "A headline describing the changes provided by this codemod",
     "control": "A URL linking to the source of the security control added",
     "change": "A description of the change suitable for a particular instance of a change",
     "references": [
          "A URL for further reading",
          "Another URL for further reading"
     ]
 }

      The second file is $description.md, and it provides last field needed by a CodemodReporterStrategy is the description of the codemod itself. This is expected to be a bigger piece of text, and thus it is stored in a separate file where it can be easily edited with an IDE supporting markdown.

      Thus, in a typical Java project, using this CodemodReporterStrategy would mean your artifact would retain at least these 3 files:

      • src/main/java/com/acme/MyCodemod.java
      • src/main/resources/com/acme/MyCodemod/report.json
      • src/main/resources/com/acme/MyCodemod/description.mdli>
      Parameters:
      codemodType - the CodeChanger type to load the reporting text for
      Returns:
      a CodemodReporterStrategy that reports based on text from the classpath

    • empty

      static CodemodReporterStrategy empty()
