Interested to plug dynamic code analysis into Dep. Cruiser

[slimee]

Plug additional source of diagram: Add dynamic analysis results coming from a dependancy injection library.

I am working on a minimalist dependancy injection tool, and it can generate some json data reflecting an instance tree.

How complicated would it be to add this into new diagrams in Dep cruiser? Can the Dép cruiser diagramming features be reused for this?

An instance tree is just a tree, and leaf have name, type, and an optionnal key/value tags.

Hi @slimee thanks for your interest!

sorry for my slow response time.

That depends on what you'd expect of the result. Unless there's synergy in showing both dependencies and an instance tree in one diagram it might be easier to generate the diagrams without the help of dependency-cruiser.

The diagrams dependency-cruiser produces at this time aren't very complicated to generate. It's a 1:1 rendition in GraphViz' dot - a little language to describe graphs. The implementation in dependency-cruiser has grown some bells and whistles, but the basis is still quite unfancy. E.g. here's the handlebars template: src/report/dot/dot.template.hbs
