Feature Request: Nest modules by dependency graph instead of folder structure

[sirlancelot]

This is a great tool! I really enjoy visualizations of my work. I think it would be neat if the treemap's nodes were only modules instead of following the folder structure. It might make the map more useful and you can already see the path when you mouseover the node.

But a module can be required by two different modules. How would you show that?

@sirlancelot Thoughts?

I think I'd like to see it in both places. Not sure what makes the most sense. I'll have to think about it more. Webpack's own Analyze tool is able to create a web but that may not work for the kind of visualization of this tool.

Maybe if you have control of setting the node's color, the module color could be based on a hash of the path. That way the exact same modules would be the same color?

@sirlancelot For example, every react component imports react. How do you want it to be shown in a flat treemap?
What I'm trying to say is treemap is not suitable for many-to-many relationships like this.
