# This is a script to analyze the dependencies of this project. # It is a replacement of / complement to # # - cargo tree (used by this script) # - cargo deps # - cargo deny # # The idea is that by calling all_dep_info, you get a table of all dependencies # in Cargo.lock, with a few additional columns based on some other tools. # Currently, these tools are # # - cargo tree # - the crates.io API # # The most useful columns in the table are: # # - `name`: the name of the crate. # - `version`: the version of the crate. # - `num_versions`: the number of versions in Cargo.lock. # - `normal_dep`: whether the crate is a normal dependency. # - `build_dep`: whether the crate is a build dependency. # - `dev_dep`: whether the crate is a dev dependency. # - `organization`: the GitHub/GitLab organization or user of the repository of the crate. # - `repository_name`: the name of the repository the crate is in. The format is "{owner}/{repo}". # - `dependencies`: direct dependencies of the crate (in the format of Cargo.lock). # # To use this script, start Nushell (tested only on version 0.82.0), import the library and # call `all_dep_info`: # # ``` # > nu # > use util/deps.nu # > let dep = (deps all_dep_info) # ``` # # Then you can perform analysis. For example, to group the dependencies by organization: # # ``` # > $dep | group-by organization # ``` # # Or to find all crates with multiple versions (like cargo deny): # ``` # > $dep | where num_versions > 1 # ``` # # Ideas to expand this: # # - Figure out the whole dependency graph # - Figure out which platforms and which features enable which crates # - Figure out which utils require which crates # - Count the number of crates on different platforms # - Add license information # - Add functions to perform common analyses # - Add info from cargo bloat # - Add MSRV info # - Add up-to-date info (the necessary info is there, it just needs to be derived) # - Check the number of owners/contributors # - Make a webpage to more easily explore the data # Read the names output by cargo tree export def read_tree_names [edge_kind: string, features: list]: any -> table<> { cargo tree --edges $edge_kind --features ($features | str join ",") | parse -r "(?P[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+) v(?P[0-9.]+)" } # Read the crates.io info for a list of crates names def read_crates_io [names: list] -> any -> table<> { let total = $names | length $names | enumerate | par-each {|name| print $"($name.index)/($total): ($name.item)" http get $"https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/($name.item)" | get crate } } # Add column for a dependency type def add_dep_type [dep_type: string, features: list]: table<> -> table<> { let input_table = $in let table = read_tree_names $dep_type $features $input_table | insert $"($dep_type)_dep" {|outer| $table | any {|inner| $inner.name == $outer.name and $inner.version == $outer.version } } } export def all_dep_info [] { let features = [unix, feat_selinux] let lock = open Cargo.lock | from toml | get package $lock # Add number of versions | join ($lock | group-by name | transpose | update column1 { length } | rename name num_versions) name # Add dependency types | add_dep_type normal $features | add_dep_type build $features | add_dep_type dev $features | insert used {|x| $x.normal_dep or $x.build_dep or $x.dev_dep} # Add crates.io info | join (read_crates_io ($lock.name | uniq)) name # Add GH org or user info # The organization is an indicator that crates should be treated as one dependency. # However, there are also unrelated projects by a single organization, so it's not # clear. | insert organization {|x| let repository = $x.repository? if ($repository == null) { "" } else { $repository | url parse | get path | path split | get 1 } } # Add repository (truncate everything after repo name) # If we get a url like # https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/tree/src/uu/ls # we only keep # uutils/coreutils # The idea is that crates in the same repo definitely belong to the same project and should # be treated as one dependency. | insert repository_name {|x| let repository = $x.repository? if ($repository == null) { '' } else { $repository | url parse | get path | path split | select 1 2 | path join } } }
