Features

• Module Dependency Analysis - Performs static analysis of module graphs to identify imports and require statements without executing the code.
• Visualizations - Creates visual graphs and diagrams of module relationships for CommonJS, AMD, and ES6 source code.
• Circular Dependency Detectors - Provides a scanner that identifies recursive module import loops to help developers break dependency chains.
• Module Dependency Graphs - Models modules as nodes and imports as edges in a directed graph to calculate connectivity and detect recursive loops.
• Abstract Syntax Tree Parsing - Provides abstract syntax tree parsing of source files to reliably identify dependency declarations across various JavaScript module standards.
• Dependency Graph Visualizations - Provides tools for mapping and exporting software module relationships into visual image and vector formats.
• Dependency Tree Traversers - Implements recursive traversal of the module tree to discover all transitive dependencies starting from a root file.
• Architecture Visualizers - Performs static analysis to generate visual maps of codebase structure and component dependencies.
• Dead Code Elimination - Locates orphaned or unused modules that are no longer imported by any other part of the application.
• Change Impact Analysis - Traces all modules that import a specific file to determine the impact of architectural changes.
• Graphviz DOT Emitters - Converts internal dependency data into the Graphviz DOT language for rendering as images or vector graphics.
• Leaf Module Identification - Lists files that do not import any other dependencies, marking the terminal points of dependency chains.
• Orphaned Module Detection - Identifies files that are not imported or required by any other part of the application to find unused code.
