Is there any tool to detect code duplication in JavaScript? I tried "PMD Duplicate code detector" but it is not supporting .js extension.

You can always write your own extension for js: pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd-parser-howto.htmlMark Chorley– Mark Chorley2010-10-19 11:24:45 +00:00Commented Oct 19, 2010 at 11:24

I would recommend JSCPD
Installation
npm install -g jscpd
Run
jscpd ./path/to/code
(you have several type of reporters, default is console, but you can use html like this: jscpd -r html ./path/to/code)
Other solutions:
- JSinspect wasn't good for me because didn't support .ts and .tsx (jscpd supports 150+ formats
- InteliJ IDEs (I'm a big fan of them) don't seem to work since WebStorm found no duplicated code.

You can use JS Inspect it detects copy-pasted and structurally similar code, also supports *.js
Installation
npm install -g jsinspect
Run
jsinspect -t 50 ./path/to/src

Caveat from jsinspect's README:
Note: the project has been mostly rewritten for the 0.10 release.I would recommend looking at this thread (also on stackoverflow): Javascript source code analysis ( specifically duplication checking )

IDE can have this functionality. I use IntelliJ, this IDE has a built-in duplicate code checking mechanism at 2 scopes:
- Inline: Duplicate codes are underlined when opened in editor so that developer can easily catch and do refactoring.
- Analysis: Go to menu Analyze->Locate Duplicates.., specify scope to run through and list all duplications.
