Vizns

Visualize the relationship between namespaces and their dependencies.

Usage

Add vizns as an alias in your ~/.clojure/deps.edn so it’s available in any project:

{:aliases
 {:user/vizns
  {:deps {io.dominic/vizns {:git/url "https://github.com/SevereOverfl0w/vizns.git"
                            :sha "85b375763b038c33f2290b9383cde3eebcf6bc8d"}}
   :main-opts ["-m" "io.dominic.vizns.core"]}}}

Run in your project

Produce a navigable folder of SVGs

$ clj -A:user/vizns navigate

Produce a deps-graph.dot file

$ clj -A:user/vizns

Tip	You can upload the .dot file to https://edotor.net/ to view without having graphviz installed.

Produce a deps-graph image directly

$ clj -A:user/vizns single -o deps-graph.png -f png
$ clj -A:user/vizns single -o deps-graph.svg -f svg

View graph without saving

$ clj -A:user/vizns single --show

Output information

Dependencies can be colored 3 colors:

Green

You’re doing the right thing, carry on.

Red

You’re using this dependency, but you’re relying on it being brought in transitively. This means you’re relying on an implementation detail of a library. You should add this dependency to your deps.edn

Grey

You’re not using this dependency (NOTE: There’s a lot of false positives here, especially around java)
