# Dependency Scanners

These scanners are used to report modules or dependencies found in a project.

Salus currently provides scanners to report dependencies found in different projects. Each scanner requires certain dependency files to be present before they are triggered

Language	Scanner	Description
Golang	`ReportGoDep`	This dependency reporter or scanner is triggered when a Gopkg.lock go.mod go.sum file is present in project
Java	`ReportGradleDeps`, `ReportPomXml`	These dependency reporters are triggered when a `pom.xml` file is present in project
JavaScript	`ReportNodeModules`	This dependency reporter or scanner is triggered when a `package-lock.json`, `package.json` or `bower.json` are present
Python	`ReportPythonModules`	This dependency reporter or scanner is triggered when a `requirements.txt` file is present
Rust	`ReportRustCrates`	This dependency reporter or scanner is triggered when a `Cargo.toml` or `Cargo.lock` file present
Ruby	`ReportRubyGems`	This dependency reporter or scanner is triggered when a `Gemfile` Present
Swift	`ReportPodfileLock`, `ReportSwiftDeps`	triggered when a `Package.resolved` or `Podfile.lock` file is present

# Configurations

In addition to the global scanner configurations, Dependency Scanner have their own specefic configurations available.

The following configuration options are available for the Dependency scanners.

# include_dev_deps

This config option allows user to include or exclude development dependencies in the reporting. The Default behavior in Salus assumes include_dev_deps as true.

Here is an example of how the user can provide include_dev_deps in a salus.yml file.

scanner_configs:
  ReportNodeModules:
    include_dev_deps: true

For now, Salus only supports this config option on the ReportNodeModules scanner
