Line Tracking Configurable Regex 3 Sub-Modules

📖 The Story Behind pattern-collector-anyjs-story

Imagine you have a large Express.js project with multiple versions, tables, and hundreds of API endpoints.

Every time you create a new API, you have to open several routing files and manually update them before your API becomes available.

😓 Manual Work

  • 📥 Add a new import statement.
  • 🛣️ Add a new router.use() entry.
  • ⚡ Add a new router.get(), router.post(), router.put() or router.delete() method.
  • 📍 Find the correct location where the new code should be inserted.
  • 🚫 Make sure duplicate routes are not created.
  • 🧹 Maintain proper formatting and file structure.

As your project grows, this process becomes repetitive, time-consuming, and increases the chance of making mistakes.


Installation

Add the pattern collector to your Node.js project using npm or yarn:

npm install pattern-collector-anyjs-story

Or using yarn:

yarn add pattern-collector-anyjs-story

Quick Start

Import the default function and pass your code text along with your configuration template name:

import collectPatternStory from 'pattern-collector-anyjs-story';

const results = collectPatternStory({
  fileContent: sourceCode,
  fileType: 'fromEndPointsJs'
});
