doesn't work well with large projects #46

Closed oocx closed 5 years ago

oocx commented 5 years ago

The idea for your tool is great, but it does not work well with large projects. The output is just a huge unreadable ball of lines and boxes (makes our architecture look much worse than it actually is :) ).

We have 159 modules, 351 components, 283 services, 210 data model files, and 28 pipes. For such a large application, we could really use a tool that helps us analyse the application structure. Unfortunately, the current layout generated by ngrev does not help us.

Thanks, Mathias

Thanks for giving it a try!

Vis.js allows a custom layout. If you're interested in contributing, I'd love to merge a PR with an improvement. For an inspiration, you can look at Graphviz.

Just did this minor improvement in "Application View". I hope it works better.

In case you have ideas for further improvement, feel free to introduce a more appropriate layout or share ideas on how we can make it better.

Great, thanks for the quick response! I'll try your changes next week when I'm back at work.
