cargo-graph-workspace

Tossed this together for fun, cargo-dot is deprecated and cargo-graph doesn't handle workspaces correctly, so I built a minimal thing that uses cargo_metadata instead of Cargo.lock parsing. From there working with workspaces is trivial.

I'm going to propose switching to a method like this for cargo-graph and maybe toss up a PR. I wanted to understand the library and some of the problems first.

See example.dot and example.png for a preview of what output looks like.

I'm not planning on uploading this to crates.io, since I don't think I'll be maintaining this. But if you are building a similar project and would like to use my code, the MIT license should make that easy.

installing

If you decide you want to install this you can do so with:

cargo install --git https://github.com/wraithan/cargo-graph-workspace.git

usage

cargo graph-workspace
Creates a dependency graph in a graphviz file named output.dot

USAGE:
    cargo graph-workspace [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
        --manifest-path <PATH>    Path to the Cargo.lock you want to graph.

The command will output a output.dot use that with dot to create image files with a command such as:

dot -Tpng output.dot > output.png
