Dependency Diff

generate DOT diagrams showing the code level dependency diff between two versions of a git repository

You can visualize the output either with a cmd tool or online

Setup

It is expected you have a git binary.

You need to setup dependency-cruiser in your project as this is what generates the dependencies.

npm i --save-dev dependency-cruiser
npx depcruise --init
npm i --save-dev @stanimirovv/dependency-diff

Verify dependency-cruiser is correctly installed (assumes your code is src, see dependency-cruiser docs for more info)

npx depcruise src --include-only "^src" --output-type dot

Finally, add a script to your package.json that dependency-diff will call: "depcruise-report": "npx depcruise src --include-only "^src" --output-type json"

! Depending on your project's structure this might be a different script

Usage

npx dependency-diff <branch A> <branch B>
