require-logger

tiny utility to visualize whole dependency tree and possibly help with debugging cyclic dependency issues in node.js

Install

npm i require-logger -g

I found that I need this module when debugging circular dependencies. Since other developers on your team might have different tools for this it's probably best to install as global dep.

Usage

Just require or import at the root file of your app.

require('require-logger')

next time you run your app, you should see a tree of dependencies as they are loaded in the STDOUT. node_modules folder deps are skipped. Only local files are shown. In the tree it's easy to spot cyclic deps and also parent modules which can be broken into multiple modules.
