If `data` is not given, `name` will be used as data + - `removeNode(name)` - remove a node from the graph + - `hasNode(name)` - check if a node exists in the graph + - `size()` - return the number of nodes in the graph + - `getNodeData(name)` - get the data associated with a node (will throw an `Error` if the node does not exist) + - `setNodeData(name, data)` - set the data for an existing node (will throw an `Error` if the node does not exist) + - `addDependency(from, to)` - add a dependency between two nodes (will throw an `Error` if one of the nodes does not exist) + - `removeDependency(from, to)` - remove a dependency between two nodes + - `clone()` - return a clone of the graph. Any data attached to the nodes will only be *shallow-copied* + - `dependenciesOf(name, leavesOnly)` - get an array containing the nodes that the specified node depends on (transitively). If `leavesOnly` is true, only nodes that do not depend on any other nodes will be returned in the array. + - `dependantsOf(name, leavesOnly)` (aliased as `dependentsOf`) - get an array containing the nodes that depend on the specified node (transitively). If `leavesOnly` is true, only nodes that do not have any dependants will be returned in the array. + - `directDependenciesOf(name)` - get an array containing the direct dependencies of the specified node + - `directDependantsOf(name)` (aliased as `directDependentsOf`) - get an array containing the nodes that directly depend on the specified node + - `overallOrder(leavesOnly)` - construct the overall processing order for the dependency graph. If `leavesOnly` is true, only nodes that do not depend on any other nodes will be returned. + - `entryNodes()` - array of nodes that have no dependants (i.e. nothing depends on them). + +Dependency Cycles are detected when running `dependenciesOf`, `dependantsOf`, and `overallOrder` and if one is found, a `DepGraphCycleError` will be thrown that includes what the cycle was in the message as well as the `cyclePath` property: e.g. `Dependency Cycle Found: a -> b -> c -> a`. If you wish to silence this error, pass `circular: true` when instantiating `DepGraph` (more below). + +## Examples + + var DepGraph = require('dependency-graph').DepGraph; + + var graph = new DepGraph(); + graph.addNode('a'); + graph.addNode('b'); + graph.addNode('c'); + + graph.size() // 3 + + graph.addDependency('a', 'b'); + graph.addDependency('b', 'c'); + + graph.dependenciesOf('a'); // ['c', 'b'] + graph.dependenciesOf('b'); // ['c'] + graph.dependantsOf('c'); // ['a', 'b'] + + graph.overallOrder(); // ['c', 'b', 'a'] + graph.overallOrder(true); // ['c'] + graph.entryNodes(); // ['a'] + + graph.addNode('d', 'data'); + + graph.getNodeData('d'); // 'data' + + graph.setNodeData('d', 'newData'); + + graph.getNodeData('d'); // 'newData' + + var circularGraph = new DepGraph({ circular: true }); + + circularGraph.addNode('a'); + circularGraph.addNode('b'); + circularGraph.addNode('c'); + circularGraph.addNode('d'); + + circularGraph.addDependency('a', 'b'); + circularGraph.addDependency('b', 'c'); // b depends on c + circularGraph.addDependency('c', 'a'); // c depends on a, which depends on b + circularGraph.addDependency('d', 'a'); + + circularGraph.dependenciesOf('b'); // ['a', 'c'] + circularGraph.overallOrder(); // ['c', 'b', 'a', 'd'] |
