# Spandx ![badge](https://github.com/spandx/spandx/workflows/ci/badge.svg)

A Ruby API for interacting with the https://spdx.org software license catalogue.
This gem includes a command line interface to scan a software project for the
software licenses that are associated with each dependency in the project.
`spandx` leverages an offline cache of software licenses for known dependencies.
The offline cache allows Spandx to perform an air gap friendly scan of software
projects.

### Supported project types

Spandx can work with following language's package managers. It utilises lock files generated by package managers to find dependencies.

| Language  | Package Manager    | Tested in   |
| ------------ | --------------- | -------:    |
| Ruby         | bundler         | 1.17.3      |
| Js           | Npm             | 6.13.4      |
| Js           | Yarn            | 1.19.1      |
| Python       | Pypi(pipenv)    | v2018.11.26 |
| C#           | nuget           | <>          |
| Java         | Maven           | 3.6.3       |
| Php          | Composer        | 1.10.5      |


## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'spandx'
```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install spandx

## Usage

### Command line interface

The command line interface supports operations to fetch the latest pre-built cache.
See the help for each subcommand for more information on how to use the command.

```bash
モ spandx
Commands:
  spandx help [COMMAND]      # Describe available commands or one specific command
  spandx scan LOCKFILE       # Scan a lockfile and list dependencies/licenses
  spandx version             # spandx version
```

To scan a specific project file use the `scan` command:

```bash
モ spandx scan dotnet/application.sln
モ spandx scan java/pom.xml
モ spandx scan python/Pipfile.lock
モ spandx scan ruby/Gemfile.lock
```

To activate air gap mode use the `--airgap` option:

```bash
モ spandx scan dotnet/application.sln --airgap
モ spandx scan ruby/Gemfile.lock --airgap
```

Air gap mode assumes that an offline cache has been placed in `$HOME/.local/share/`.

To fetch the latest offline cache:

```bash
モ spandx pull
```

### Ruby API

To fetch the latest version of the catalogue data from [SPDX](https://spdx.org/licenses/licenses.json).

```ruby
catalogue = Spandx::Spdx::Catalogue.latest
catalogue.each do |license|
  puts license.inspect
end
```

To load an offline copy of the data.

```ruby
path = File.join(Dir.pwd, 'licenses.json')
catalogue = Spandx::Spdx::Catalogue.from_file(path)
catalogue.each do |license|
  puts license.inspect
end
```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `bin/test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
