Is there a programatic API I could use to get the dependencies of a component? #55

Closed davidfirst closed 5 years ago

davidfirst commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to extract all dependencies of a component (similar to node-dependency-tree), which seems to be a non-trivial task with Angular. This project seems the closest I can get, however, I need it for a CLI tool.

If there is no such an API, can you point me to the main point where the UI gets the files? I guess I'll be able to take it from there and post a PR. (hopefully, the UI is not coupled to the logic).

Thanks!

You can do this with this library. See ngrev.

I'm confused. "ngrev" is this library, according to the description it's "Graphical tool for reverse engineering of Angular projects". I need the same but without the graphical interface. Just CLI or some API. How can I achieve this?

Thanks.

You can use ngast to build something like ngrev without graphical interface. I mentioned ngrev since you can use it as an example :)
