skott VS madge

Welcome back into these series everyone, past few days have been incredible as skott just reached 130 stars on GitHub, 100k of total downloads and lately around +12k weekly downloads since I started open-sourcing it. It's very far for being mainstream but it's a good start, isn't it? Anyway, let me put my personal satisfaction aside, and let's talk about what you came for!

To make the search of specific files easier when processing large graphs, a global search was recently introduced.

You can render dependency graphs with Madge [0] (works with both TS and JS).

It would be interesting to somehow overlay this graph on top of the typescript import graph (generated by something like madge). I suspect it might highlight some poorly organized regions of the codebase, because it would be obvious which component trees depend on multiple clusters of files.

So far, I've always used a tool called madge, which saved my ass countless times.

I've also noticed that eslint cycle checking is slow for large projects, we currently use madge (https://github.com/pahen/madge) for cycle checking and its very fast and is working pretty well.

There's no VS Code extension for it AFAIK, but it's the best (and almost only) tool that I know which can do it for JavaScript code. There's also madge and emerge, in case the first one doesn't fit your needs.
