dependency-tree

Utilities for interacting with the dependency tree of a module

npm install dependency-tree

Usage

var treeUtils = require('dependency-tree');

Supported Utilities

getTreeAsList

Returns the entire dependency tree as a flat list of filepaths for a given module. Basically, all files visited during traversal of the dependency-tree are returned.

• All core Node modules (assert, path, fs, etc) are removed from the dependency list by default
• Works for AMD, CommonJS, ES6 modules and SASS files.

var getTreeAslist = require('dependency-tree').getTreeAsList;

getTreeAsList(filename, root, function(treeList) {
  console.log(treeList);
});

• filename: The file whose dependency tree to traverse
• root: The path to all of your JS files

Prints:

[
  '/a.js',
  '/b.js'
]

Optional

• cache: 4th argument that's an empty object (or shared across multiple runs of this module) used for avoiding redundant subtree generations.

Shell version (assuming npm install -g dependency-tree):

tree-as-list filename root

Prints

/a.js
/b.js

madge

Madge is a JavaScript library that provides similar functionality to dependency-tree, including generating dependency graphs and detecting circular dependencies. It also offers additional features like visualizing the dependency graph and supporting multiple module formats.

depcheck

Depcheck is a tool that helps you find unused dependencies in your project. While it does not generate a dependency tree, it provides insights into which dependencies are actually being used, which can complement the functionality of dependency-tree.

webpack

Webpack is a module bundler that also provides dependency analysis as part of its bundling process. It can generate dependency graphs and detect circular dependencies, but it is more focused on bundling and optimizing assets for web applications.
