Usage Notes

We have deployed and hosted the most recent version of this project on Heroku (database on MongoDB Atlas/AWS). Here's the link to the tool: http://dependencyvis.herokuapp.com/ This is a proof of concept and as of now does not use a robust infrainstracture to be used in large scale.

Input Restrictions

DependencyVis can only work on GitHub repositories that have a package.json pushed to them.
