How can I use a dependency graph in my project?

A dependency graph visually represents the dependencies between different components in your project. You can use it to identify which modules rely on others, helping you manage changes and understand the impact of updates.

What tools can I use to create a dependency graph?

There are several tools available, such as Graphviz, D3.js, and various IDE plugins that can generate dependency graphs automatically from your code.

Can you give me an example of a dependency graph?

Sure! Imagine a project with three modules: A, B, and C. If A depends on B, and B depends on C, the graph would show arrows from A to B and from B to C, illustrating the flow of dependencies.

How do I interpret the graph?

You can interpret the graph by looking at the nodes (modules) and the edges (dependencies). A node with many incoming edges is a critical component, while a node with outgoing edges shows what it depends on.
