Practical Application & Code Integration

Use-Case Context

Lines of Code (LOC) is a controversial productivity metric, but it is essential for technical debt audits and CI/CD limitations. For example, AWS Lambda functions fail to deploy if the unzipped package exceeds 250MB. A strict line counter that ignores whitespace and comments provides a true measure of architectural complexity.
Unix Word Count (wc)
# Recursively count total lines of code in all JavaScript files
find . -name '*.js' | xargs wc -l

# Exclude node_modules for accurate repository size
find . -name '*.js' -not -path './node_modules/*' | xargs wc -l

No. Your files are processed entirely inside your local web browser using JavaScript. No data is ever transmitted.

Does it support Windows and Mac line breaks?
