"Visualize Rust project dependencies as ASCII art. Triggers on: /deps-viz, dependency graph, show dependencies, visualize deps, 依赖图, 依赖可视化, 显示依赖"

Overview

# Rust Dependencies Visualizer

Generate ASCII art visualizations of your Rust project's dependency tree.

Usage

```

/rust-deps-visualizer [--depth N] [--features]

```

Options:

--depth N: Limit tree depth (default: 3)
--features: Show feature flags

Output Format

Simple Tree (Default)

```

my-project v0.1.0

├── tokio v1.49.0

│ ├── pin-project-lite v0.2.x

│ └── bytes v1.x

├── serde v1.0.x

│ └── serde_derive v1.0.x

└── anyhow v1.x

```

Feature-Aware Tree

```

my-project v0.1.0

├── tokio v1.49.0 [rt, rt-multi-thread, macros, fs, io-util]

│ ├── pin-project-lite v0.2.x

│ └── bytes v1.x

├── serde v1.0.x [derive]

│ └── serde_derive v1.0.x (proc-macro)

└── anyhow v1.x [std]

```

Implementation

Step 1: Parse Cargo.toml for direct dependencies

```bash

cargo metadata --format-version=1 --no-deps 2>/dev/null

```

Step 2: Get full dependency tree

```bash

cargo tree --depth=${DEPTH:-3} ${FEATURES:+--features} 2>/dev/null

```

Step 3: Format as ASCII art tree

Use these box-drawing characters:

├── for middle items
└── for last items
│ for continuation lines

Visual Enhancements

Dependency Categories

```

my-project v0.1.0

│

├─[Runtime]─────────────────────

│ ├── tokio v1.49.0

│ └── async-trait v0.1.x

│

├─[Serialization]───────────────

│ ├── serde v1.0.x

│ └── serde_json v1.x

│

└─[Development]─────────────────

├── criterion v0.5.x

└── proptest v1.x

```

Size Visualization (Optional)

```

my-project v0.1.0

├── tokio v1.49.0 ████████████ 2.1 MB

├── serde v1.0.x ███████ 1.2 MB

├── regex v1.x █████ 890 KB

└── anyhow v1.x ██ 120 KB

─────────────────

Total: 4.3 MB

```

Workflow

Check for Cargo.toml in current directory
Run cargo tree with specified options
Parse output and generate ASCII visualization
Optionally categorize by purpose (runtime, dev, build)
