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)
