dependency-tree

Get the dependency tree of a module

npm install dependency-tree

Usage

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

// Returns a dependency tree object for the given file
var tree = dependencyTree({
  filename: 'path/to/a/file',
  directory: 'path/to/all/files',
  requireConfig: 'path/to/requirejs/config', // optional
  webpackConfig: 'path/to/webpack/config', // optional
  filter: path => path.indexOf('node_modules') === -1, // optional
  nonExistent: [] // optional
});

// Returns a post-order traversal (list form) of the tree with duplicate sub-trees pruned.
// This is useful for bundling source files, because the list gives the concatenation order.
// Note: you can pass the same arguments as you would to dependencyTree()
var list = dependencyTree.toList({
  filename: 'path/to/a/file',
  directory: 'path/to/all/files'
});

• Works for JS (AMD, CommonJS, ES6 modules) and CSS preprocessors (Sass, Stylus); basically, any module type supported by Precinct.
  • For CommonJS modules, 3rd party dependencies (npm installed dependencies) are included in the tree by default
  • Dependency path resolutions are handled by filing-cabinet
  • Supports RequireJS and Webpack loaders
• All core Node modules (assert, path, fs, etc) are removed from the dependency list by default

Optional

• requireConfig: path to a requirejs config for AMD modules (allows for the result of aliased module paths)
• webpackConfig: path to a webpack config for aliased modules
• visited: object used for avoiding redundant subtree generations via memoization.
• nonExistent: array used for storing the list of partial paths that do not exist
• filter: a function used to determine if a module (and its subtree) should be included in the dependency tree

• The function should accept an absolute filepath and return a boolean
• If the filter returns true, the module is included in the resulting tree

• detective: object with configuration specific to detectives used to find dependencies of a file

• for example detective.amd.skipLazyLoaded: true tells the AMD detective to omit inner requires

The object form is a mapping of the dependency tree to the filesystem – where every key is an absolute filepath and the value is another object/subtree.

Example:

{
  '/Users/mrjoelkemp/Documents/node-dependency-tree/test/example/extended/a.js': {
    '/Users/mrjoelkemp/Documents/node-dependency-tree/test/example/extended/b.js': {
      '/Users/mrjoelkemp/Documents/node-dependency-tree/test/example/extended/d.js': {},
      '/Users/mrjoelkemp/Documents/node-dependency-tree/test/example/extended/e.js': {}
    },
    '/Users/mrjoelkemp/Documents/node-dependency-tree/test/example/extended/c.js': {
      '/Users/mrjoelkemp/Documents/node-dependency-tree/test/example/extended/f.js': {},
      '/Users/mrjoelkemp/Documents/node-dependency-tree/test/example/extended/g.js': {}
    }
  }
}

This structure was chosen to serve as a visual representation of the dependency tree for use in the Dependents plugin.

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

dependency-tree --directory=path/to/all/supported/files [--list-form] [-c path/to/require/config] [-w path/to/webpack/config] filename

Prints the dependency tree of the given filename as stringified json (by default).

• You can alternatively print out the list form one element per line using the --list-form option.
