fundeps

Function dependencies.

An experimental CLI tool for visualization of elm declaration dependencies.

How to install

⚠️ This tool is still very much work in progress and will change a lot. The following installation steps will likely be simplified in the future

1. Make sure the graphviz toolset is installed on your system.

2. Install hacked-elm binary (NOTE: This is modified version of elm compiler which writes out function usage data into file.)

   git clone git@github.com:jhrcek/compiler.git --branch hackCanonicalAST
   cd compiler
   stack install

   That should make the hacked-elm available on your path. You won't use this binary directly, it's used automatically by the fundeps tool installed next.

3. Install fundeps binary

   git clone git@github.com:jhrcek/fundeps.git
   cd fundeps
   stack install

   This should make fundeps binary available on your PATH.

How to run it

Move to a folder with elm project (where your elm.json is) and run

fundeps path/to/Main.elm

This will

• compile the code with the hacked compiler, collecting data about what functions are used by what other functions
• open repl-like CLI interface, where you can enter function name(s) (with TAB completion) and the tool will display graph of declaration dependencies for you chose function(s)
