The refren
command facilitates refactoring/renaming in cases when you want to rename a concept that appears in your
code rather than a specific variable or class. So, if you decide that "JS example" should be renamed to
"javascript dummy", refren
will do it for you, aware of different code styles.
$ cat src/lib.js
```js const JSEXAMPLESTATIC_CONST = 44
function jsExampleFunction(firstJsExampleArgument, secondJsExampleArgument) { }
module.exports = { jsExampleFunction } ```
$ cat src/lib.js | refren 'JS example' 'javascript dummy'
```js const JAVASCRIPTDUMMYSTATIC_CONST = null
function javascriptDummyFunction(firstJavascriptDummyArgument, secondJavascriptDummyArgument) { }
module.exports = { javascriptDummyFunction } ```
find
commandrefren
can be easily used together with the find
command:
$ find src -name "*.js" | xargs refren "JS example" "javascript dummy"
