I'm back at writing for a new technical article on NodeSecure. This time I want to focus on the SAST JS-X-Ray 🔬.

And it is happening right now. Github is opening the GitHub Advisory Database to community submissions. Awesome community NodeSecure builds cool things like scanner and js-x-ray. There are also lockfile-lint, LavaMoat, Jfrog-npm-tools (and I am sure there is more).

Static Analysis is powered by @nodesecure/js-x-ray and @nodesecure/scanner.

Execute NodeSecure/JS-X-Ray on each JavaScript files.

JS-X-Ray - SAST Scanner

I have been working every night of the week on a new major version of my open-source JavaScript SAST JS-X-Ray. I've been looking forward to making significant changes to the code for several months now...

Latest version of Node and Yarn

Have Node and Yarn installed with a recent version.

Node.js manages dependencies using package managers like npm (Node Package Manager), yarn, and pnpm. npm comes pre-installed with Node.js and allows you to install and uninstall Node.js packages. It uses a package.json file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. Yarn and Pnpm are alternative package managers that aim to improve on npm in various ways, such as improved performance and better lock file format.

Depending on the stack of the repository you are cloning, you might have to install additional dependencies. For this demo, I'm using my own website, which is a static website built with Astro.js. It which requires to have Node.js installed and Yarn for package manager.

A package manager such as npm, Yarn, or pnpm. A package manager is a tool that helps you manage the dependencies of your project. You can use any of these package managers to install Jest and other packages.

To start off, you'll need Node.js installed on your local system. This ChatGPT API guide will use Yarn to install dependencies in the project, but you're free to use npm or any other package management tool if you wish. Finally, you'll need an OpenAI account for ChatGPT API access.

This package is available in the Node Package Repository and can be easily installed with npm or yarn

Yarn or Npm(This tutorial uses Yarn)

However, the easiest way to install the Snyk CLI for your JavaScript application is to do so using the npm or Yarn global installation since you most likely already have Node.js installed. Ensure you're using Node.js version 12 or later and run the following command to install the Snyk CLI as a global npm package:
