vssln-dependencies

Creates an ordered list of projects from the projects dependency graph in a Visual Studio Solution (sln) file.

Dependencies are resolved using the information created by the "Project Dependencies" tab in the "Solution Properties" window of Visual Studio. Project references set using the "References" item inside each project are not considered.

Installation

Install package with NPM and add it to your development dependencies:

npm install vssln-dependencies --save-dev

Usage

From VsSolutionFile

var dependencies = require("vssln-dependencies");
 
const solution: VsSolutionFile; // Get this from external code.
const sortedProjects = dependencies.fromSolution(solution);
 
const projectNames = sortedProjects.map(p => p.name);
console.log(projectNames);

From stream

var dependencies = require("vssln-dependencies");
var fs = require("fs");
 
const stream = fs.createReadStream("test.sln");
dependencies.fromStream(stream, sortedProjects => {
    const projectNames = sortedProjects.map(p => p.name);
    console.log(projectNames);
});

From file

var dependencies = require("vssln-dependencies");
 
dependencies.fromFile("test.sln", sortedProjects => {
    const projectNames = sortedProjects.map(p => p.name);
    console.log(projectNames);
});

From string

var dependencies = require("vssln-dependencies");
var fs = require(fs);
 
const text = fs.readFileSync("test.sln", "utf-8");
const sortedProjects = dependencies.fromString(text,);
 
const projectNames = sortedProjects.map(p => p.name);
console.log(projectNames);

From VsSolutionFile - complete example

var dependencies = require("vssln-dependencies");
var parse = require("vssln-parser").parse;
var fs = require("fs");
 
const stream = fs.createReadStream("test.sln");
parse(stream, solution => {
    const sortedProjects = dependencies.fromSolution(solution);
    const projectNames = sortedProjects.map(p => p.name);
    console.log(projectNames);
});
