Readme for token-search-0.1.0.0

[back to package description]

token-search

This is a library for efficient substring detection across a codebase.

Motivation

Unused leverages ctags' token generation in conjunction with a tool to search the file system (either ripgrep or The Silver Searcher).

During execution, Unused shells out from Haskell for each unique token and searches the appropriate files for each token. This means each file searched is searched thousands of times each run, which takes a significant amount of time.

Approach

Instead of searching each file git tracks for each of potentially thousands of tokens, token-search processes each file once.

With the tokens:

rem
or
lo

and the text:

lorem ipsum
dolor sit amet

token-search then:

  1. Builds a trie with the three tokens
  2. Iterates over each character in the text, while also:
    • creating a new copy of the trie
    • adding the created trie to a list of all non-terminated tries
    • walks each trie by the character
    • maintains a list of terminal nodes as tries are walked
    • increments a terminal node count for tokens as they're encountered
