🚀 FINALIZED TOOLCHAIN FOR EXTRACTING DATABASE ATTRIBUTES

Since database creation and population are not the focus right now, we will only focus on
extracting the required attributes from a React project. Below is a fully optimized toolchain
covering all necessary extractions.

🔹 PHASE 1: File System & Component Discovery


Goal: Identify all React components and their locations.

🛠 Tools:
Task Tool(s) Purpose

Scan Project Files & Locate Node.js fs + Find all .jsx and .tsx files.
Components Globby

Detect Component Structure & Madge Generate a component


Imports dependency graph.

✅ Best Approach: Use Globby to scan files → Feed results into Madge for relationships.

🔹 PHASE 2: Extract Component Metadata (Components


Table)
Goal: Extract component names, types, locations, and relationships.

🛠 Tools:
Task Tool(s) Purpose

Extract Functional/Class-Based Babel Parse React files & detect


Components Parser components.

Determine Parent-Child Component Madge Extract component


Relationships dependencies.

Detect File Paths & Hierarchical FastGlob Get absolute paths of


Structures components.
✅ Best Approach: Use Babel Parser for AST analysis → Madge for dependency mapping.

🔹 PHASE 3: Extract Props & Their Details (Props Table)


Goal: Identify all props, their types, default values, and usage.

🛠 Tools:
Task Tool(s) Purpose

Extract Props from JSX React-Docs-Gen Parse props & generate


Components metadata.

Detect Prop Type Checking Babel Parser + Find propTypes & TypeScript
(PropTypes/TS Types) TSQuery interfaces.

Identify Default Values ESLint Custom Locate defaultProps usage.


Rule

✅ Best Approach: Use React-Docs-Gen for parsing props → TSQuery for TypeScript
analysis.

🔹 PHASE 4: Extract State & Context API Usage (State


Table & Context Table)
Goal: Identify local state, global state, and Context API usage.

🛠 Tools:
Task Tool(s) Purpose

Extract useState & Default Values Babel Parser Parse useState()


occurrences.

Find useReducer & Associated ESLint Custom Locate state management logic.
Reducers Rule

Detect Context API Providers & TSQuery Analyze createContext,


Consumers useContext.

✅ Best Approach: Use Babel Parser for hooks & state → TSQuery for Context API.
🔹 PHASE 5: Extract Routing Information (Routes Table)
Goal: Extract all routes, their paths, and associated components.

🛠 Tools:
Task Tool(s) Purpose

Extract <Routes> and <Route> Babel Parser Parse JSX route definitions.
Components

Find useNavigate() Calls ESLint Custom Identify programmatic


Rule navigation.

Extract Dynamic Params & 404 React Router Detect dynamic routes &
Handling DevTools fallback routes.

✅ Best Approach: Use Babel Parser to extract routes → React Router DevTools for
runtime validation.

🔹 PHASE 6: Extract API Calls (API Calls Table)


Goal: Identify all API interactions inside the React project.

🛠 Tools:
Task Tool(s) Purpose

Find fetch() and axios Calls ESLint Custom Locate API requests.
Rule

Extract API Endpoints & Babel Parser Parse URLs inside API calls.
Methods

Capture Request/Response TypeScript Extract interfaces for API


Structures Compiler API responses.

✅ Best Approach: Use ESLint Custom Rule for API detection → TS Compiler for
request/response structures.
🔹 PHASE 7: Extract Hooks Usage (Hooks Table)
Goal: Identify all built-in and custom hooks used.

🛠 Tools:
Task Tool(s) Purpose

Detect Built-in React Hooks Babel Find useEffect, useMemo, etc.


Parser

Identify Custom Hooks TSQuery Scan project for useXYZ


patterns.

✅ Best Approach: Use Babel Parser for built-in hooks → TSQuery for custom hooks.

🔹 PHASE 8: Extract Static Assets & Dependencies (Static


Assets & Dependencies Table)
Goal: Detect static assets and external dependencies used in the project.

🛠 Tools:
Task Tool(s) Purpose

Find Images, Fonts, and Files FastGlob Scan directories for asset
files.

Extract Dependencies from npm ls / yarn Get installed libraries &


package.json list versions.

✅ Best Approach: Use FastGlob for asset scanning → npm ls for dependencies.

For now, I want you to use this finalized toolchain, and generate a code, that would simply use
these toolchain Tools and generate a json file which would be a component table and contain
Components-table attributes (I have provided table attributes earlier). First tell the steps, how
are we going to generate the code. These steps would explain lots of things including what
toolchain will be used for which logic/problem and so on.

🚀 Steps to Generate Code for Extracting Components Table Attributes


Our goal is to extract Components Table attributes from a React project and generate a
structured JSON file. Below are the detailed steps explaining the toolchain used for each
task.

🔹 Step 1: Scan Project Directory for Component Files


Goal: Identify all .jsx and .tsx files in the React project.
🛠 Toolchain Used:
Tool Purpose

Node.js fs Reads directories & files.


module

Globby Efficiently scans directories using wildcard patterns (e.g.,


src/**/*.tsx).

🔍 Logic:

1. Define the src/ folder as the root.


2. Use Globby to search for all component files (.jsx, .tsx).
3. Store file paths for further processing.

🔹 Step 2: Parse Component Files & Extract Metadata


Goal: Identify components, extract their names, types, and descriptions.

🛠 Toolchain Used:
Tool Purpose

Babel Parser Converts JavaScript/TypeScript code into an Abstract Syntax Tree


(AST).

JSCodeshift Traverses AST nodes to find component definitions.

🔍 Logic:
1. Read the component file content.
2. Use Babel Parser to convert the file into an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree).
3. Look for:
○ Function Declarations (for functional components).
○ Class Declarations (for class-based components).
○ Variable Declarations with ArrowFunctionExpression (for functional
components assigned to variables).
4. Extract:
○ Component Name (name)
○ Component Type (functional or class-based)
○ File Path (file_path)
○ Description (from comments, if available).
🔹 Step 3: Extract Parent-Child Relationships
Goal: Identify component dependencies (parent-child relations).

🛠 Toolchain Used:
Tool Purpose

Madge Generates dependency trees of JavaScript/TypeScript


modules.

🔍 Logic:

1. Use Madge to analyze import relationships in the project.


2. Generate a dependency graph of components.
3. Extract:
○ Parent Components (parent_component_ids)
○ Child Components (child_component_ids)

🔹 Step 4: Generate JSON Output


Goal: Convert extracted component data into a JSON structure.

🛠 Toolchain Used:
Tool Purpose

Node.js fs Writes the extracted data into a JSON


module file.

🔍 Logic:
1. Collect all extracted component attributes.
2. Structure them as per Components Table schema.
3. Save the JSON file.

🚀 Summary of the Toolchain & Purpose


Step Goal Tool Used

1. Scan for Components Find .tsx / .jsx files Node.js fs, Globby
2. Parse Component Extract component Babel Parser,
Files metadata JSCodeshift

3. Identify Parent-Child Analyze dependencies Madge

4. Generate JSON Store extracted data Node.js fs

💡 Next Steps
Now, I will generate a Node.js script that will implement these steps and output a JSON file
containing Components Table attributes. 🚀
Let me know if you have any modifications before I proceed with the code! 🔥
