hacker-deps

Print the list of hackers your application depends on.

example

For a quick list of hackers, just do hacker-deps $APP_ROOT:

``$ hacker-deps ~/projects/substack.net 42.7% James Halliday (substack) 14.5% Dominic Tarr (dominictarr) 6.9% Raynos (Raynos) 5.0% undefined 4.5% Isaac Z. Schlueter (isaacs) 2.7% Joshua Holbrook (jesusabdullah) 2.1% Max Ogden (maxogden) 1.9% ariya (ariya) 1.8% ForbesLindesay (ForbesLindesay) 1.8% johnny (NHQ) 1.7% Tim Caswell (creationix) 1.6% Constellation (Constellation) 1.3% Thorsten Lorenz (thlorenz) 1.3% Robert Kieffer (broofa) 1.3% Roman Shtylman (shtylman) 1.2% TJ Holowaychuk (visionmedia) 1.2% Nick Fitzgerald (mozilla) 0.9% Christopher Jeffrey (chjj) 0.9% Alex Gorbatchev (alexgorbatchev) 0.9% James Burke (jrburke) 0.7% Julian Gruber (juliangruber) 0.4% Mathias Bynens (bestiejs) 0.4% mishoo (mishoo) 0.4% Brian J. Brennan (brianloveswords) 0.4% Romain Beauxis (toots) 0.3% T. Jameson Little (beatgammit)`

hacker-deps finds all package.json files and finds who wrote each non-private package depended on in your application.

In this list the percentage is a normalized sum of all the packages in the dependency graph weighted by distance to give a rough estimate of how reliant your application is on the work of each hacker in the results.

To supplement the list of hackers with lists of packages, add --verbose:

`$ hacker-deps ~/projects/substack.net --verbose | head -n30

You can also print the list of modules ranked by module score with --modules:

`$ hacker-deps ~/projects/substack.net --modules | head -n20 findit 12.0 % James Halliday (substack) hyperquest 12.0 % James Halliday (substack) walk-fs 12.0 % skoni (skoni) optimist 12.0 % James Halliday (substack) text-table 12.0 % James Halliday (substack) through 6.0 % Dominic Tarr (dominictarr) duplexer 6.0 % Raynos (Raynos) seq 6.0 % James Halliday (substack) wordwrap 6.0 % James Halliday (substack) minimist 6.0 % James Halliday (substack) traverse 4.0 % James Halliday (substack) chainsaw 3.0 % James Halliday (substack) hashish 3.0 % James Halliday (substack)`

`usage`

`usage: hacker-deps OPTIONS

OPTIONS are:

-v, --verbose Verbose module output for the default output mode -m, --modules List the normalized weights of each module used. -b, --budget Hypothetical amount to budget for open source. -s, --socialism Coefficient of socialism for --budget (default: 1.5)

`methods`

`js var hdeps = require('hacker-deps')`

`hdeps(root, cb)`

Compute the hacker dependencies starting at the application path root.

cb(err, hackers) fires once the complete graph has been traced with hackers, an array of entries sorted by a contribution score. Each row looks like:

`js { name: 'Dominic Tarr', github: 'dominictarr', packages: { split: 1.5, through: 3.1666666666666665, 'vec2-dom': 1, 'vec2-layout': 2, example: 2, rec2: 0.5, hyperscript: 0.5 }, score: 0.24436807941962585 }`

The scoreis a normalized contribution score that shows how reliant your application is on this author.

The packagesobject is non-normalized package data according to the sum of1/(2 * distance) where distanceis the number of dependencies up the dependency hierarchy. The assumption here is that modules that are further away are probably less crucial to your application.

`install`

With npm do:

`npm install -g hacker-deps``
