Plato
Plato is a JavaScript static analysis tool and code complexity visualizer. It computes complexity metrics and runs linting checks on JavaScript source code to evaluate codebase quality, presenting the results through a static analysis dashboard.
The system aggregates linting data and technical metrics into timestamped reports. It specifically calculates cyclomatic and Halstead metrics to identify overly complicated files and assess the maintainability of a project.
The tool provides capabilities for source code visualization, automated quality reporting, and maintainability assessment. It includes a static analysis pipeline that supports metric aggregation and file filtering via regular expressions.
