To generate codebase architecture documentation automatically, you can use AST analysis and dependency visualization to map your code structure. This process produces detailed architecture diagrams and relationship tables by parsing the code itself.

Code map generation works with Next.js and Express frameworks. It adapts to various project structures and common database patterns, ensuring the generated architecture documentation accurately reflects your specific application layout.

AST analysis is used in code mapping to perform accurate code parsing and extract structural relationships. By analyzing the abstract syntax tree, it automates dependency visualization and generates detailed architecture diagrams without manual effort.

You need tools like ts-morph and madge to visualize code dependencies accurately. These dependencies perform the underlying AST parsing and graph generation required to map your codebase architecture and generate relationship tables.

The best way to onboard a new developer to a complex codebase is providing an automatically generated codemap. It clearly illustrates the project structure, key modules, and data flow, ensuring they have up-to-date architecture documentation.

You can integrate dependency visualization into a migration workflow. By generating a comprehensive codemap before migration, you can analyze existing code structure and data flow to plan accurate architectural transitions.
