# Product Cart Demo - Ragex Comprehensive Showcase This is a comprehensive demonstration of Ragex's code analysis and AI-enhanced capabilities, using a deliberately mediocre e-commerce cart application. ## Quick Start ```bash # From ragex root directory cd examples/product_cart # Run automated demo ./run_demo.sh # Or run interactive demo with MCP mix ragex.server ``` ## What's in This Demo ### Demo Code (500+ lines) - **5 Elixir modules** with intentional quality issues - **20+ functions** showcasing various anti-patterns - **8+ security vulnerabilities** (hardcoded secrets, unsafe deserialization, weak crypto) - **52 lines of duplicated code** (exact duplicates) - **28 lines of dead code** (unused functions) - **High complexity** (cyclomatic complexity up to 15) - **Deep nesting** (6-8 levels) - **Tight coupling** (instability: 0.8) ### Ragex Features Demonstrated #### Phase 1: Security Analysis - Detects hardcoded API keys and secrets - Finds unsafe deserialization (CWE-502) - Identifies weak cryptography (MD5) - Maps vulnerabilities to CWE standards - Provides remediation recommendations #### Phase 2: Enhanced Complexity Metrics - Cyclomatic complexity calculation - Cognitive complexity (with nesting penalties) - Enhanced Halstead metrics (9 fields) - Lines of Code breakdown (physical, logical, comments, blank) - Function metrics (statements, return points, variables, parameters) #### Phase 3: Code Smell Detection - Long functions (>50 statements) - Deep nesting (>4 levels) - Magic numbers (hardcoded constants) - Complex conditionals (nested boolean operations) - Long parameter lists (>5 parameters) #### Phase 11: Code Analysis & Quality - **Duplication Detection**: Finds Type I-IV clones (exact, renamed, near-miss, semantic) - **Dead Code Analysis**: Identifies unused functions via graph analysis - **Dependency Analysis**: Computes coupling metrics and instability - **Impact Analysis**: Risk assessment and effort estimation for refactoring #### Phase 11G: Automated Refactoring Suggestions - 8 refactoring patterns with priority ranking - Step-by-step action plans - Multi-factor scoring (benefit, impact, risk, effort, confidence) - RAG-powered context-aware advice #### Phases A-C: AI-Enhanced Features - **ValidationAI**: Explains syntax errors with context - **AIPreview**: Refactoring preview with risk assessment - **AIRefiner**: False positive reduction in dead code detection - **AIAnalyzer**: Semantic Type IV clone detection - **AIInsights**: Architectural insights and anti-pattern detection ## Files Structure ``` product_cart/ ├── README.md # This file ├── DEMO.md # Comprehensive walkthrough (1,138 lines) ├── run_demo.sh # Automated demo runner script ├── lib/ │ └── product_cart/ │ ├── cart.ex # Cart management (243 lines, high complexity) │ ├── product.ex # Product management (159 lines, tight coupling) │ ├── pricing.ex # Stub for pricing service │ ├── inventory.ex # Stub for inventory service │ └── analytics.ex # Stub for analytics service └── demo_output/ # Generated after running demo ├── 01_analysis.log ├── 02_security_scan.md ├── 03_complexity.md ├── 04_smells.md ├── 05_duplication.md ├── 06_dead_code.md ├── 07_dependencies.md ├── 08_impact.md ├── 09_suggestions.md ├── 10_ai_features.md └── SUMMARY.md # Executive summary ``` ## Running the Demo ### Option 1: Automated Demo (Recommended) The automated script analyzes the codebase and generates comprehensive reports: ```bash ./run_demo.sh # Or specify custom output directory ./run_demo.sh /path/to/output ``` **Duration**: ~2-3 minutes **Output**: 11 markdown files with detailed analysis results ### Option 2: Interactive Demo (MCP) Use Ragex via the Model Context Protocol for interactive exploration: ```bash # Start MCP server mix ragex.server # Then use any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) # Try these MCP tools: # - scan_security # - find_duplicates # - find_dead_code # - detect_smells # - analyze_dependencies # - suggest_refactorings # - preview_refactor (with AI) ``` ### Option 3: Manual Analysis Run individual Mix tasks: ```bash # Analyze and build knowledge graph mix ragex.analyze --path examples/product_cart/lib # Run quality analysis mix ragex.quality --path examples/product_cart/lib # Generate refactoring suggestions mix ragex.suggestions --path examples/product_cart/lib ``` ## Expected Results ### Issues Detected - **8 security vulnerabilities** (2 critical, 3 high, 3 medium) - **18 code smells** (3 critical, 9 high, 6 medium) - **52 lines of duplicate code** (10% of codebase) - **28 lines of dead code** (7% of codebase) - **5 complex functions** (cyclomatic complexity > 10) - **High coupling** in Product module (instability: 0.8) ### Refactoring Plan - **8 prioritized suggestions** (scores: 7.5-9.2 out of 10) - **Estimated effort**: 15-20 hours total - **Expected improvement**: 65% better maintainability - **Metrics improvement**: - Lines of code: 500 → 380 (24% reduction) - Average complexity: 12 → 5 (58% improvement) - Duplication: 100% elimination -
