dependency-tree
Returns an unordered array of local paths to dependencies of a node JavaScript file (everything it or any of its dependencies require
s).
Reduced feature (faster) alternative to the dependency-tree
package that only works with stock node JS. This is used by Eleventy to find dependencies of a JavaScript file to watch for changes to re-run Eleventy’s build.
Big Huge Caveat
⚠ A big caveat to this plugin is that it will require the file in order to build a dependency tree. So if your module has side effects and you don’t want it to execute—do not use this!
Installation
npm install --save-dev @11ty/dependency-tree
Features
- Ignores
node_modules
- Or, use
nodeModuleNamesOnly
to return a list of node_modules packages (added in v2.0.0) - Ignores Node’s built-ins (e.g.
path
) - Handles circular dependencies (Node does this too)
Usage
// my-file.js
// if my-local-dependency.js has dependencies, it will include those too
const test = require("./my-local-dependency.js");
// ignored, is a built-in
const path = require("path");
const DependencyTree = require("@11ty/dependency-tree");
DependencyTree("./my-file.js");
// returns ["./my-local-dependency.js"]
allowNotFound
const DependencyTree = require("@11ty/dependency-tree");
DependencyTree("./this-does-not-exist.js"); // throws an error
DependencyTree("./this-does-not-exist.js", { allowNotFound: true });
// returns []
nodeModuleNames
(Added in v2.0.1) Controls whether or not node package names are included in the list of dependencies.
nodeModuleNames: "include"
: included alongside the local JS files.nodeModuleNames: "exclude"
(default): node module package names are excluded.nodeModuleNames: "only"
: only node module package names are returned.
// my-file.js:
require("./my-local-dependency.js");
require("@11ty/eleventy");
const DependencyTree = require("@11ty/dependency-tree");
DependencyTree("./my-file.js");
// returns ["./my-local-dependency.js"]
DependencyTree("./my-file.js", { nodeModuleNames: "exclude" });
// returns ["./my-local-dependency.js"]
DependencyTree("./my-file.js", { nodeModuleNames: "include" });
// returns ["./my-local-dependency.js", "@11ty/eleventy"]
DependencyTree("./my-file.js", { nodeModuleNames: "only" });
// returns ["@11ty/eleventy"]
(Deprecated) nodeModuleNamesOnly
(Added in v2.0.0) Changed to use nodeModuleNames
option instead. Backwards compatibility is maintained automatically.
nodeModuleNamesOnly: false
is mapped tonodeModuleNames: "exclude"
nodeModuleNamesOnly: true
is mapped tonodeModuleNames: "only"
If both nodeModuleNamesOnly
and nodeModuleNames
are included in options, nodeModuleNames
takes precedence.
