DPDM

A robust static dependency analyzer for your JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

Highlights  |  Install  |  Usage  |  Options  |  API

Highlights

• Supports CommonJS, ESM.
• Supports JavaScript and TypeScript completely.
  • Supports TypeScript path mapping.
  • Supports ignore TypeScript type dependencies.
• Light weight: use TypeScript to parse all modules.
• Fast: use asynchronous API to load modules.
• Stable output: This is compared to madge, whose results are completely inconclusive when analyze TypeScript.

Install

1. For command line

   npm i -g dpdm
   # or via yarn
   yarn global add dpdm
   

2. As a module

   npm i -D dpdm
   # or via yarn
   yarn add -D dpdm
   

Usage in command line

1. Simple usage

   dpdm ./src/index.ts
   

2. Print circular dependencies only

   dpdm --no-warning --no-tree ./src/index.ts
   

3. Exit with a non-zero code if a circular dependency is found.

   dpdm --exit-code circular:1 ./src/index.ts
   

4. Ignore type dependencies for TypeScript modules

   dpdm -T ./src/index.ts
   

5. Find unused files by index.js in src directory:

   dpdm --no-tree --no-warning --no-circular --detect-unused-files-from 'src/**/*.*' 'index.js'
   

6. Skip dynamic imports:

   # The value circular will only ignore the dynamic imports
   # when parse circular references.
   # You can set it as tree to ignore the dynamic imports
   # when parse source files.
   dpdm --skip-dynamic-imports circular index.js
   

Options

dpdm [options] <files...>

Analyze the files' dependencies.

Positionals:

                                  program will exit with code 1 if circular dependency found.
                                                                                            [string]

Example output

Usage as a package

import { parseDependencyTree, parseCircular, prettyCircular } from 'dpdm';

parseDependencyTree('./index', {

}).then((tree) => {
  const circulars = parseCircular(tree);
  console.log(prettyCircular(circulars));

API Reference

1. parseDependencyTree(entries, option, output): parse dependencies for glob entries

   /**
    * @param entries - the glob entries to match
    * @param options - the options, see below
    */
   export declare function parseDependencyTree(
     entries: string | string[],
     options: ParserOptions,
   ): Promise<DependencyTree>;
   
   /**
    * the parse options
    */
   export interface ParseOptions {
     context: string; // context to shorten filename,           default is process.cwd()
     extensions: string[]; // the custom extensions to resolve file, default is [ '.ts', '.tsx', '.mjs', '.js', '.jsx', '.json' ]
     include: RegExp; // the files to parse match regex,        default is /\.m?[tj]sx?$/
     exclude: RegExp; // the files to ignore parse,             default is /\/node_modules\//
   }
   
   export enum DependencyKind {
     CommonJS = 'CommonJS', // require
     StaticImport = 'StaticImport', // import ... from "foo"
     DynamicImport = 'DynamicImport', // import("foo")
     StaticExport = 'StaticExport', // export ... from "foo"
   }
   
   export interface Dependency {
     issuer: string;
     request: string;
     kind: DependencyKind;
     id: string | null; // the shortened, resolved filename, if cannot resolve, it will be null
   }
   
   // the parse tree result, key is file id, value is its dependencies
   // if file is ignored, it will be null
   export type DependencyTree = Record<string, Dependency[] | null>;
   

2. parseCircular(tree): parse circulars in dependency tree

   export declare function parseCircular(tree: DependencyTree): string[][];
