Component Name Detection in Alizer

Name detection is one of the step included during component detection and it refers to the name of the app/project.

The process consists of two steps:

  1. Some languages (Java, Javascript) have a specific place where the project name is set. If Alizer discovers one of those languages it checks for their configuration files to find out the name; if it fails or a language with no custom detection is detected, it proceeds with (2)
  2. The directory name is used as name of the component

Below a list of the languages with a custom detection

Java

Maven

Alizer searches for the pom.xml file in the root folder and takes the value defined by the artifactId field.

Gradle

Alizer searches for the settings.gradle file in the root folder and takes the value defined by the rootProject.name field.

Javascript

Alizer searches for the package.json file in the root folder and takes the value defined by the name field
