dependency-tree

dependency-tree

Get the dependency tree of a module (as a list)

npm install dependency-tree

Usage

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

// Returns a list of filepaths for all visited dependencies
var tree = getTreeAsList('path/to/a/file', 'path/to/all/js/files');

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.

Optional

• cache: 3rd 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 filename root

Prints

/a.js
/b.js

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.
