# kibit
*There's a function for that!*
`kibit` is a static code analyzer for Clojure which uses the
[`core.logic`](https://github.com/clojure/core.logic) unifier to
search for patterns of code for which there might exist a more
idiomatic function or macro. For example if kibit finds the code
(if (some test)
(some action)
nil)
2012-03-05 08:54:31 +00:00
it will make the suggestion to use the `when` macro instead of `if`.

## Usage
2012-03-04 22:09:59 +00:00
Add `[jonase/kibit "0.0.1"]` to your `:plugins` vector in your `:user`
profile (Leiningen 2) or if you are using Leiningen 1:
2012-03-04 16:41:53 +00:00
2012-03-04 22:09:59 +00:00
$ lein plugin install jonase/kibit 0.0.1
2012-03-04 16:41:53 +00:00
2012-03-04 22:09:59 +00:00
Then you can run
2012-03-04 16:41:53 +00:00
2012-03-04 22:09:59 +00:00
$ lein kibit
2012-03-04 16:41:53 +00:00
to analyze your namespaces.

It is very easy to write new patterns for `kibit`. Take a look at
2012-03-05 08:54:31 +00:00
[`control-structures.clj`](https://github.com/jonase/kibit/blob/master/src/jonase/kibit/control_structures.clj)
2012-03-04 19:01:33 +00:00
to see how new patterns are created. If you know of a recurring
2012-03-04 18:42:20 +00:00
pattern of code that can be simplified, please consider sending me a
pull request.

## TODO
* Figure out how to report line numbers.
* More rules
2012-03-04 16:43:23 +00:00
* Remove reflection warnings (how?)
2012-03-04 17:05:37 +00:00
* Can core.logic be used to its full potential?
2012-03-04 18:42:20 +00:00
* Analyse ClojureScript files?
