Presentation

The purpose of this project is to extract JavaScript and TypeScript dependencies from a project directory or a single file.

Installation

To use as a library:

npm i -S js-dependency-extractor

To use as a CLI tool:

npm i -g js-dependency-extractor

Technical information

Stack

• NodeJS >= Dubnium 10.17.0 with NPM >=6.11.3

Tests

Code quality

Code style follows Airbnb JavaScript Best Practices using ESLint.

Unit

Mocha and Chai.

Logging and debugging

Uses bugbug for debugging.

Security

• Code security and most precisely module dependencies can be audited running npm audit.

Requirements

Production

• See Stack

Development

• See Stack

Usage

Lib

Import

const jsDependencyExtractor = require('js-dependency-extractor');

js-dependency-extractor module exports a function named jsDependencyExtractor.

• jsDependencyExtractor <AsyncFunction>.

jsDependencyExtractor(options)

Extract JavaScript and TypeScript dependencies from a directory or a file.

Note:

• support recursive extracting;
• support scoped dependencies;
• can merge partial requires/imports into one same dependency;
• can ignore specified paths;
• can target specific file extensions.

• options <Object>
  • path <String> Path to directory or file. Could be absolute or relative. Default: none Required: true
  • ignorePaths <Array> Paths to ignore. Could be absolute, relative or a pattern. Default: none Required: false
  • mergePartial <Boolean> Whether to merge partial requires/imports into one same dependency. Default: false Required: false
  • onlyExtensions <Array> File extensions to watch for. Empty list or null values mean to look up into all file extensions. Default: none Required: false
• Returns: <Array> Alphabetically ordered list of dependencies (empty array if no dependency found)

Example:

// my-project/app/index.ts
import path from 'path';
import memwatch from '@airbnb/node-memwatch';
import partial from '@scope/example-lib/partial';
import uuidv1 from 'uuid/v1';
import uuidv4 from 'uuid/v4';
import helpers from './helpers';
// ...

// my-project/app/helpers/index.js
const path = require('path');
const partial = require('@scope/example-lib/partial');
const sharp = require('sharp');
// ...

// my-project/test/helpers/index.js
const chai = require('chai');
const helpers = require('../app/helpers');
// ...

// example 1
try {
  const dependencies = await jsDependencyExtractor({
    ignorePaths: ['node_modules'],
    mergePartial: false,
    onlyExtensions: ['.ts'],
    path: '../../my-project',
  });

  console.log(dependencies);

  // [
  //   '@airbnb/node-memwatch',
  //   '@scope/example-lib/partial',
  //   'path',
  //   'uuid/v1',
  //   'uuid/v4'
  // ]
} catch (e) {
  console.error(e);
}

// example 2
try {
  const dependencies = await jsDependencyExtractor({
    ignorePaths: ['my-project/test', 'node_modules'],
    mergePartial: true,
    onlyExtensions: ['.js', '.ts'],
    path: '../../my-project',
  });

  console.log(dependencies);

  // [
  //   '@airbnb/node-memwatch',
  //   '@scope/example-lib',
  //   'path',
  //   'sharp',
  //   'uuid'
  // ]
} catch (e) {
  console.error(e);
}

CLI

Extract JavaScript and TypeScript dependencies from a directory or a file using the command line interface.

See jsDependencyExtractor(options) for more details.

Command name

jsde

Options

• -p, --path <path> Path to directory or file. Could be absolute or relative. Default: none Required: true
• -d, --debug Output extra debugging. Default: false Required: false
• -e, --only-extensions [onlyExtensions...] File extensions to watch for separated by a white space. Empty list or null values mean to look up into all file extensions. Default: none Required: false
• -i, --ignore-paths [ignorePaths...] Paths to ignore separated by a white space. Could be absolute, relative or a pattern. Default: none Required: false
• -m, --merge-partial Whether to merge partial requires/imports into one same dependency. Default: false Required: false
• -v, --version Output the current version. Default: none Required: false

Print

Alphabetically ordered list of dependencies on stdout.

Example

Based on jsDependencyExtractor(options) example.

jsde -p ../../my-project -e .js .ts -i my-project/test .node_modules -m

# print
@airbnb/node-memwatch
@scope/example-lib
