Code Intelligence Visualization - Quick Reference

Quick reference for common visualization tasks.

Installation

import {
  MermaidGenerator,
  ClassDiagramBuilder,
  DependencyGraphBuilder,
} from './src/code-intelligence/visualization/index.js';

Common Tasks

1. Generate Class Diagram

const diagram = ClassDiagramBuilder.build(nodes, edges, {
  includeMethods: true,
  includeProperties: true,
  showParameters: true,
  showReturnTypes: true,
});
console.log(diagram);

2. Show Class Hierarchy

const hierarchy = ClassDiagramBuilder.buildHierarchy(
  'MyClass',  // Root class node ID
  nodes,
  edges
);

3. Generate Dependency Graph

const depGraph = DependencyGraphBuilder.build(nodes, edges, {
  direction: 'LR',        // Left to right
  showExternal: false,    // Hide node_modules
  highlightCycles: true,  // Highlight circular deps
});

4. Detect Circular Dependencies

const cycles = MermaidGenerator.findCircularDependencies(nodes, edges);

if (cycles.length > 0) {
  console.log(`Found ${cycles.length} circular dependencies!`);
  const diagram = MermaidGenerator.generateDependencyGraphWithCycles(
    nodes,
    edges
  );
  console.log(diagram);
}

5. Build Dependency Tree

const tree = DependencyGraphBuilder.buildDependencyTree(
  'index.ts',  // Root file node ID
  nodes,
  edges,
  { maxDepth: 3 }
);

6. Find Reverse Dependencies

// Who depends on this file?
const reverseDeps = DependencyGraphBuilder.buildReverseDependencies(
  'utils.ts',  // Target file node ID
  nodes,
  edges
);

7. Analyze Dependencies

const metrics = DependencyGraphBuilder.analyzeDependencies(nodes, edges);

console.log(`Total files: ${metrics.totalFiles}`);
console.log(`Circular dependencies: ${metrics.circularDependencies}`);
console.log(`Most imported:`);
metrics.mostImported.forEach(({ file, imports }) => {
  console.log(`  - ${file}: ${imports} imports`);
});

8. Generate Dependency Matrix

const matrix = DependencyGraphBuilder.generateDependencyMatrix(nodes, edges);
console.log(matrix);  // Markdown table

9. Filter by Node Type

const diagram = MermaidGenerator.generate(nodes, edges, 'graph', {
  nodeTypeFilter: ['class', 'interface'],  // Only show classes/interfaces
  maxNodes: 20,  // Limit to 20 nodes
});

10. Custom Graph Direction

const diagram = DependencyGraphBuilder.build(nodes, edges, {
  direction: 'TB',  // Top to bottom (also: LR, RL, BT)
});

Examples

Full Pipeline

import { GraphBuilder } from './src/code-intelligence/graph/GraphBuilder.js';
import { DependencyGraphBuilder } from './src/code-intelligence/visualization/index.js';

// 1. Build graph
const builder = new GraphBuilder();
builder.addNode('file', 'index.ts', '/src/index.ts', 1, 10, 'typescript');
builder.addNode('file', 'utils.ts', '/src/utils.ts', 1, 20, 'typescript');
builder.addEdge(file1.id, file2.id, 'imports');

// 2. Generate visualization
const diagram = DependencyGraphBuilder.build(
  builder.getAllNodes(),
  builder.getAllEdges()
);

// 3. Check for issues
const cycles = MermaidGenerator.findCircularDependencies(
  builder.getAllNodes(),
  builder.getAllEdges()
);

if (cycles.length > 0) {
  console.warn('Circular dependencies detected!');
}

// 4. Analyze metrics
const metrics = DependencyGraphBuilder.analyzeDependencies(
  builder.getAllNodes(),
  builder.getAllEdges()
);

console.log(`Total files: ${metrics.totalFiles}`);
console.log(`Avg dependencies: ${metrics.avgDependenciesPerFile.toFixed(2)}`);

Tips

1. Start Small: Use maxNodes to limit initial visualizations
2. Filter First: Use node/edge type filters for focused views
3. Check Cycles: Always check for circular dependencies in module graphs
4. Use Hierarchies: For large codebases, visualize specific class hierarchies
5. Hide External: Set showExternal: false to hide node_modules
6. GitHub Rendering: Paste into GitHub markdown with ```mermaid blocks
7. Iterative: Start with high-level view, drill down as needed
