Q: Dep Graph for each file

[sschneider-ihre-pvs]

Is it possible to have an output for each file in the dependency graph if the dependency graph as a whole is to overwhelming? Or is it possible to stretch the graph that there is not so much overlap? Or is there a way to make it more navigatable?

Hi @sschneider-ihre-pvs this FAQ entry might be of help.

Not yet mentioned in that FAQ entry are other strategies:

• You can point dependency-cruiser at one file and let it cruise from there, with or without specifying
• You can filter the graph to show modules and dependencies that only reach modules
• You can collapse related modules together by specifying a pattern.
• Dot's default graph layout is known to work for sure, but it's not always the most beautiful or (for larger graphs) clean one. For smaller graphs you can switch on orthogonal routing (see the comment in the .dependency-cruiser.js you generated with --init for how to get that) which is a lot cleaner.
• depcruise-wrap-stream-in-html packaged with dependency-cruiser will make the graph a little more interactive.

See e.g. this graph of yarn, that combines a few of the above strategies - how that's done is described in real-world-samples.md.

Hope this helps!

Ok cool I will try those options
