depject-tree

tool for showing all dependencies in a depject project (or projects)

indirection can be useful for decoupling (and thus modularity) but this indirection can make code harder to understand if there are no tools to show you the routes things take.

usage

> npm install -g depject-tree

> depject-tree . node_modules/patchcore
... outputs json object...

the format is:

<path>: {
  "needs": {
    <api>: [<places this api is provided>],
  },
  "gives": {
    <api>: [<places this api is used>]
  }
}

here is a portion of the output for patchbay@6 it represents the split module, which shows two or more screen_views side by side. it also gives screen_view which is used by the app, tabs, and split modules.

...
"modules_extra/split.js": {
  "needs": {
    "screen_view": [
      "modules_basic/invite.js",
      "modules_basic/setup.js",
      "modules_extra/blob.js",
      "modules_extra/key.js",
      "modules_extra/network.js",
      "modules_extra/query.js",
      "modules_extra/versions.js"
    ]
  },
  "gives": {
    "screen_view": [
      "modules_core/app.js",
      "modules_core/tabs.js",
      "modules_extra/split.js"
    ]
  }
},
...
