We all know magic numbers are frowned upon as a programming practice. They may give no indication of their meaning, and when used multiple times, can result in future inconsistencies. They can expose you to the risk of typos, hinder maintenance and have an impact on readability. That's where Buddy comes in. Buddy is a cli tool that's eager to find the magic numbers in your code. It accepts a list of paths to parse, and renders any found instances with the selected reporter. In the case of directories, they're walked recursively, and only .js files are analyzed. Any node_modules dirs are also ignored. Since const is not widespread in JavaScript, it defaults to searching for numbers which are not the sole literal in an object expression or variable declaration. Furthermore, specific values can be ignored, such as 0 and 1, which are ignored by default. Who's a good boy?.
