FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize my Rust project's dependency tree?

Visualize a Rust dependency tree by generating ASCII art representations using `cargo metadata` and `cargo tree` outputs. This provides a clear visual overview of project dependencies to help manage and analyze the structure.

Can I limit the depth of the Rust dependency graph that is displayed?

Yes, you can limit the depth of the Rust dependency graph. The visualization supports configurable depth control, allowing you to restrict how many levels deep the dependency tree is shown for focused analysis.

Does the visualization show feature flags associated with Rust dependencies?

Yes, the visualization optionally shows feature flags associated with Rust dependencies. This feature flag display helps you understand which specific features are enabled for each dependency in your project.

What is the best way to debug Rust dependency conflicts?

A reliable way to debug Rust dependency conflicts is to generate an ASCII art visualization of your dependency tree. By analyzing this visual overview, you can identify version overlaps and understand the impact of new dependencies.

Do I need cargo tree to generate the Rust dependency visualization?

Yes, generating the Rust dependency visualization leverages `cargo tree` and `cargo metadata` for accurate dependency information. These standard Cargo tools provide the underlying data required to construct the ASCII art graph.
