Dep-Wizard 🧙‍♂️

Visualize, Scan, and Resolve Dependency Issues in Your Node.js Projects!

Dep-Wizard is a command-line tool designed to make managing dependencies easier for developers. With just a few commands, you can scan for conflicts, resolve issues, and visualize the dependency tree for any Node.js project.

Features ✨

• 🔍 Scan Dependencies: Find potential conflicts and outdated packages.
• 🛠 Resolve Issues: Resolve version mismatches effortlessly.
• 🌳 Visualize Dependency Tree: See a complete tree of your project's dependencies.
• ⚡️ Easy to Use: Simple CLI interface with detailed output.

Installation 📦

Install the package globally to access it from anywhere:

npm install -g dep-wizard

Or install it locally to use in a specific project:

npm install dep-wizard

Usage 🚀

Once installed, you can use dep-wizard via the command line. The syntax is:

dep-wizard <command>

Available Commands:

1. Scan Dependencies

Find conflicts and outdated packages in your node_modules directory.

dep-wizard scan

Example Output:

Scanning for dependency conflicts...
⚠️ Conflict detected: [email protected] vs [email protected]
✅ All other dependencies are up-to-date!

2. Resolve Conflicts

Automatically resolve version mismatches for your dependencies.

dep-wizard resolve

Example Output:

Resolving conflicts...
✅ package-name updated to version 2.0.0

3. Visualize Dependency Tree

Generate a visual representation of your project's dependencies.

dep-wizard visualize

Example Output:

Dependency tree built!
{
  "chalk": {},
  "yargs": {
    "yargs-parser": {},
    "cliui": {
      "wrap": {}
    }
  }
}

Why Dep-Wizard? 🤔

Managing dependencies in large Node.js projects can become overwhelming. Dependency conflicts, outdated packages, and deeply nested trees are common challenges. Dep-Wizard simplifies this process by automating scanning, resolving, and visualizing tasks.

How It Works 🛠

1. Scanning:
   Scans your node_modules and package.json for:

   • Version conflicts
   • Outdated dependencies

2. Resolving:
   Updates conflicting dependencies to the latest compatible versions.

3. Visualization:
   Builds a detailed dependency tree, making it easy to understand the structure of your project.

Configuration ⚙️

Dep-Wizard works out of the box, but you can customize its behavior by adding a .dep-wizardrc.json file in the root of your project:

{
  "ignore": [".bin"],
  "maxDepth": 3
}

• ignore: Directories to skip during scanning or visualization.
• maxDepth: Maximum depth for the dependency tree visualization.
