finddep

Ever wondered where some dependency comes from? Tired of manually "parsing" the output of clojure -Stree? If so then finddep is for you.

Installation

clojure -Ttools install com.github.ivarref/finddep \
'{:git/tag "0.1.73" :git/sha "f6faa87b4941bd818d7da3107ec0d555798908a3"}' \
:as finddep

Optional installation

If you are only going to use the :name parameter search (see next section), you can also do the following:

echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env bash\nclojure -Tfinddep find :name "$@"' > \
$HOME/.local/bin/finddep && chmod +x $HOME/.local/bin/finddep

Usage with :name parameter search

Go to your deps-based project and invoke the tool.

For example in this project if you are wondering why org.ow2.asm/asm is included, you can do the following:

clojure -Tfinddep find :name asm

org.clojure/tools.deps {:mvn/version "0.19.1417"}
  com.cognitect.aws/api {:mvn/version "0.8.686"}
    org.clojure/core.async {:mvn/version "1.6.673"}
      org.clojure/tools.analyzer.jvm {:mvn/version "1.2.2"}
        org.ow2.asm/asm {:mvn/version "9.2"}

Usage with fzf

Go to your deps-based project and invoke the tool:

clojure -Tfinddep fzf

Start typing to see the dependency tree for a given dependency.

Output:

org.clojure/tools.deps {:mvn/version "0.19.1417"}
  com.cognitect.aws/api {:mvn/version "0.8.686"}
    org.clojure/core.async {:mvn/version "1.6.673"}
      org.clojure/tools.analyzer.jvm {:mvn/version "1.2.2"}
        org.ow2.asm/asm {:mvn/version "9.2"}

Right, it so that's why it was included...

Usage with aliases

clojure -Tfinddep find :name java.classpath :aliases '[:test]'

io.github.cognitect-labs/test-runner {:git/tag "v0.5.0" :git/sha "48c3c67f98362ba1e20526db4eeb6996209c050a"}
  org.clojure/tools.namespace {:mvn/version "1.1.0"}
    org.clojure/java.classpath {:mvn/version "1.0.0"}

Usage with include-children

clojure -Tfinddep find :name tools.analyzer.jvm :include-children true

org.clojure/tools.deps {:mvn/version "0.19.1417"}
  com.cognitect.aws/api {:mvn/version "0.8.686"}
    org.clojure/core.async {:mvn/version "1.6.673"}
      org.clojure/tools.analyzer.jvm {:mvn/version "1.2.2"}
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        org.clojure/core.memoize {:mvn/version "1.0.253"}
          org.clojure/core.cache {:mvn/version "1.0.225"}
            org.clojure/data.priority-map {:mvn/version "1.1.0"}
        org.clojure/tools.analyzer {:mvn/version "1.1.0"}
        org.clojure/tools.reader {:mvn/version "1.3.6"}
        org.ow2.asm/asm {:mvn/version "9.2"}
