Rust Dependencies Visualizer
Generate ASCII art visualizations of your Rust project's dependency tree.
Usage
/rust-deps-visualizer [--depth N] [--features]
Options:
--depth N: Limit tree depth (default: 3)--features: Show feature flags
Output Format
Simple Tree (Default)
my-project v0.1.0
├── tokio v1.49.0
│ ├── pin-project-lite v0.2.x
│ └── bytes v1.x
├── serde v1.0.x
│ └── serde_derive v1.0.x
└── anyhow v1.x
Feature-Aware Tree
my-project v0.1.0
├── tokio v1.49.0 [rt, rt-multi-thread, macros, fs, io-util]
│ ├── pin-project-lite v0.2.x
│ └── bytes v1.x
├── serde v1.0.x [derive]
│ └── serde_derive v1.0.x (proc-macro)
└── anyhow v1.x [std]
Implementation
Step 1: Parse Cargo.toml for direct dependencies
cargo metadata --format-version=1 --no-deps 2>/dev/null
Step 2: Get full dependency tree
cargo tree --depth=${DEPTH:-3} ${FEATURES:+--features} 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Format as ASCII art tree
Use these box-drawing characters:
├──for middle items└──for last items│for continuation lines

- Run
cargo treewith specified options - Parse output and generate ASCII visualization
- Optionally categorize by purpose (runtime, dev, build)
