  1. npm install -g cloc
  2. Go to the project folder
  3. Delete the node_modules and dist folder (if you have any), Because you don't need to calculate loc in dist and node_modules
  4. inside the project folder
  5. run this command: cloc *

Output will look like this :

If you are using VS code, install this extension called Lines of Code (LOC)

After installation, use ctrl+p, type linecount, and you will find below options.

Count Workspace files will give the output in the following format.

This works on any OS with VS Code with the above plugin installed.

No experience if it runs on Windows, tho, but searching on the web showed some results of people getting it to work on Windows..

Our SD Source Code Search Engine is a GUI for searching across large bodies of source code such as a PHP web site. It is fast because it preindexes the source code.

As a side effect of the indexing process, it also computes metrics on the source code base, including SLOC, Comments, blank lines, Cyclomatic and Halsted complexity numbers.

And it runs on Windows.

If you are on a linux box, the easiest way is probably directed by this SO question:

Check CLOC, it's a source code line counter that supports many languages, I always recommend it.

It will differentiate between actual lines of code, blank lines or comments, it's very good.

In addition there are more code counters that you can check:

If you're using a full fledged IDE the quick and dirty way is to count the number of "\n" patterns using the search feature (assuming it supports regexes)
