This repo was created to understand the flow of imports and exports in Tucana, to determine the impact range of a file modification, to spot circular dependencies, to assert whether or not folders fit a desired dependency graph, and more.
It is based on a shell script that computes all imports and requires of tucana and does a csv build of them. The line src/a.js,src/b.js means that src/a.js does an import or a require of src/b.js. Data files, images, and external libraries are ignored.
Powerful things can be directly done with a bit of bash-fu, but the Snowpack + Vue 3 app of this repo can do much more. Set up:
git clone THIS_REPO
cd tucana-deps-inspector
pnpm install
source build.sh TUCANA_PATH # this might take a while
pnpm run startInspect the dependencies across folders. Useful to answer questions like "does my UI component folder only export stuff, or should I worry about it importing stuff too?".
Click to select a folder, Ctrl+Click to unfold a folder (eg split src/a in src/a/x and src/a/y), Alt+Click to fold it back.
i means inward dependency: some file in this folder is imported by some file in the selected folder. I means deep inward dependency: same, but imports can be indirect. o and O are for outward outward dependencies: same but the import direction is reversed.
Inspect the dependencies across two folders. Useful to answer questions like "where is my UI component folder importing from my API folder?".
List the deep outward dependencies of files. Useful to answer questions like "I have modified src/a.js and src/b.js in this PR, what files are going to be impacted?".
Exhaustive list of circular dependencies
Spot business files (=excludes media, css, test files, storybook) that are not imported by other files
