Package description

What is module-deps?

The module-deps npm package is a tool for analyzing the dependency graph of Node.js modules. It parses the require() calls in a given entry file and recursively resolves the dependencies, providing a detailed graph of all the modules and their interconnections.

What are module-deps's main functionalities?

Dependency Graph Generation

This feature allows you to generate a JSON file that represents the dependency graph of a given entry file. The code sample demonstrates how to use module-deps to analyze 'entry.js' and output the dependency graph to 'deps.json'.

const mdeps = require('module-deps');
const JSONStream = require('JSONStream');
const fs = require('fs');

const md = mdeps();
md.pipe(JSONStream.stringify()).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('deps.json'));
md.end({ file: 'entry.js' });

Custom Resolvers

This feature allows you to provide custom resolution logic for resolving module paths. The code sample shows how to use a custom resolver function to handle module resolution.

const mdeps = require('module-deps');
const JSONStream = require('JSONStream');
const fs = require('fs');

const md = mdeps({
  resolve: (id, parent, cb) => {
    // Custom resolution logic
    cb(null, id);
  }
});
md.pipe(JSONStream.stringify()).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('deps.json'));
md.end({ file: 'entry.js' });

Transform Streams

This feature allows you to apply transform streams to the source files before they are parsed. The code sample demonstrates how to replace all instances of 'require' with 'customRequire' in the source files.

const mdeps = require('module-deps');
const through = require('through2');
const JSONStream = require('JSONStream');
const fs = require('fs');

const md = mdeps({
  transform: (file) => {
    return through(function (buf, enc, next) {
      this.push(buf.toString('utf8').replace(/require/g, 'customRequire'));
      next();
    });
  }
});
md.pipe(JSONStream.stringify()).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('deps.json'));
md.end({ file: 'entry.js' });

Readme

Source

module-deps

walk the dependency graph to generate json output that can be fed into browser-pack

build status

example

var mdeps = require('module-deps');
var JSONStream = require('JSONStream');

var stringify = JSONStream.stringify();
stringify.pipe(process.stdout);

var file = __dirname + '/files/main.js';
mdeps(file).pipe(stringify);

output:

$ node example/deps.js
[
{"id":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/main.js","source":"var foo = require('./foo');\nconsole.log('main: ' + foo(5));\n","entry":true,"deps":{"./foo":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/foo.js"}}
,
{"id":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/foo.js","source":"var bar = require('./bar');\n\nmodule.exports = function (n) {\n    return n * 111 + bar(n);\n};\n","deps":{"./bar":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/bar.js"}}
,
{"id":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/bar.js","source":"module.exports = function (n) {\n    return n * 100;\n};\n","deps":{}}
]

and you can feed this json data into browser-pack:

$ node example/deps.js | browser-pack | node
main: 1055

usage

usage: module-deps [files]

  generate json output from each entry file

methods

var mdeps = require('module-deps')

mdeps(files, opts={})

Return a readable stream of javascript objects from an array of filenames files.

Optionally pass in opts that will be fed through into the underlying required module.
