nestjs-cqrs-analyzer v1.0.1

CQRS Analyzer

A tool for analyzing and visualizing Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) architectures in TypeScript/NestJS applications.

Features

• Architecture Analysis: Scans your TypeScript codebase to identify CQRS patterns
• Visualization: Generates interactive diagrams showing relationships between components
• Issue Detection: Identifies potential issues in your CQRS architecture
• Comprehensive Reports: Provides detailed reports with metrics and recommendations

Installation

# Global installation
npm install -g nestjs-cqrs-analyzer

# Or as a development dependency
npm install --save-dev nestjs-cqrs-analyzer

Usage

Command Line

# Basic usage
nestjs-cqrs-analyzer

# Specify source and output directories
nestjs-cqrs-analyzer --src src/modules --out ./cqrs-report

# Limit the number of edges in diagrams
nestjs-cqrs-analyzer --max-edges 200

# Specify diagram formats
nestjs-cqrs-analyzer --formats mermaid,html

Options

• --src, -s: Source directory to analyze (default: "src")
• --out, -o: Output directory for results (default: "cqrs-analysis")
• --max-edges, -m: Maximum number of edges to include in diagrams (default: 0 = no limit)
• --formats, -f: Diagram formats to generate (comma-separated, default: "mermaid,html")
• --no-report, -r: Skip generating analysis report

Programmatic API

import { CQRSAnalyzer } from 'nestjs-cqrs-analyzer';

async function analyzeApp() {
  const analyzer = new CQRSAnalyzer({
    srcDir: 'src',
    outDir: 'cqrs-analysis',
    maxEdges: 300,
    generateReport: true,
    diagramFormat: ['mermaid', 'html']
  });
  
  const results = await analyzer.analyze();
  
  console.log(`Found ${results.architectureAnalysis.issues.length} potential issues`);
}

analyzeApp().catch(console.error);

Generated Outputs

The analyzer generates the following outputs in the specified output directory:

1. Analysis Report (MD): Detailed report with metrics and identified issues
2. Mermaid Diagram (MMD): Mermaid.js diagram source
3. HTML Visualization: Interactive diagram with export capabilities
4. SVG Diagram: Static diagram (when Mermaid CLI is available)

CQRS Architecture Detection

The analyzer detects the following CQRS components:

• Command Buses: Classes that dispatch commands
• Query Buses: Classes that execute queries
• Event Buses: Classes that publish events
• Command Handlers: Classes with @CommandHandler decorators
• Query Handlers: Classes with @QueryHandler decorators
• Event Handlers: Classes with @EventsHandler decorators

Issue Detection

The analyzer identifies potential issues in your CQRS architecture:

• Single Responsibility Violations: Classes that both emit and handle events
• High Coupling: Classes with too many connections
• Unhandled Events: Events that are produced but not handled
• Orphaned Handlers: Handlers for events that are not produced

Requirements

• Node.js 14+
• TypeScript codebase using CQRS patterns (works best with NestJS)
• Optional: Mermaid CLI for SVG generation (npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli)
