deno_license_checker v1.4.0

This tool checks the license headers in the files in a git repository. You can configure which files should have which license texts with .licenserc.json.

Usage

Create .licenserc.json like the following:

{
  "**/*.ts": "// Copyright 2019 My Name. All rights reserved. MIT license."
}

Then run:

deno --allow-read --allow-run https://deno.land/x/license_checker@v1.4.0/main.ts

This checks the license lines in the files in your repository.

`.licenserc.json`

You can use any glob pattern in the keys of .licenserc.json

{
  "**/*.ts": "Copyright 2019 My Name. All rights reserved. MIT license.",

  "**/*.{js,ts}": "This matches any .js and .ts files",

  "*.go": "This matches .go file in the project root, (not in subdirectories)",

  "src/**/*.ts": "This matches .ts file in `src` dir",

  "**/*.ts": [
    "You can put multiline headers like this",

    "Copyright Foo, Inc. and other Bar contributors."

    "copy of this software and associated documentation files (the",

    "persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the",
    "following conditions:",
    "..."
  ]
}

Ignore certain files

You can ignore certain files by the ignore array in config.

{
  "**/*.js": "// Copyright 2019 My Name. All rights reserved. MIT license.",

  "ignore": [
    "lib/vendor/jquery.js", // ignore this file
    "vendor/" // ignore all files under vendor
  ]
}

Note: ignore needs to be an array, not a string.
