In the dashboard:

Create New Project

Enter Project Key>SetUp

Generate the token and Copy it

Select the Project Main Language,I have selected JavaScript

Download and unzip the Scanner for macOS

Configure the environment path for SonarQube in .bash profile by giving the path of the bin directory of SonarQube.It will be something like this:

Users/saif.siddiqui/Downloads/sonar-scanner-3/bin

To analyze a javascript project navigate to the project directory and run 

sonar-scanner \

  -Dsonar.projectKey=ProjectName

  -Dsonar.sources=. \

  -Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 \

  -Dsonar.login=Token\

 -Dsonar.exlusion=.node_module

OR

Running through configuration file 

Create sonar-project.properties file in the project directory to be scanned using command:

touch sonar-project.properties

Add this configuration to run js,jsx file:

sonar.projectKey= ProjectName \

sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

sonar.javascript.file.suffixes=.js,.jsx

sonar.sources=detox/e2e

sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000

sonar.login=generatedtoken

sonar.exclusions=.node_module

In the above code,sonar.javascript.file.suffixes=.js,.jsx will run only js,.jsx file other files will be ignored.

-sonar.sources will run the files in detox/e2e

-sonar.exclusions will exclude the node_module folder

Go to the project directory and run Sonar-Scanner 

Navigate to the Sonarqube Dashboard and Refresh,you will see the result something like this:
