NuGet Visualizer

An interactive script that helps you to visualize NuGet package dependencies as well as dependencies of your Solution and csproj.

A sample dependency graph for sample solution:

Requirements: Python 3.8+

Python requirements:

- requests
- os
- xmltodict
- json
- pyvis.network

To install requirements, run: pip install -r requirements.txt

This script helps the users to generate:

1. NuGet Package Dependencies
2. Solution/csproj dependencies

1. NuGet Package

Script Workflow:

• Search for a certain NuGet package
• Select from the result
• Generate dependency for latest or specific version

The script calls the NuGet API's recursively and generate the dependencies of the mentioned version.

Searching for microsoft.codeanalysis.csharp:

Generated Graph:

2. Solution/csproj Dependencies

Script Workflow:

• Can choose between solution file or csproj
• Enter the path
• If csproj:
  • Generates the Package and Project references
• If Solution:
  • Scans all csproj associated and generates all the packages and project references
• Option to generate a basic graph, or a full feature graph (scans the dependencies of all the NuGet packages associated)

You can check the sample_graph folder as an example. Download the folder and run the html file.

Rate Limit

NuGet has published its Rate Limit, i.e. The number of requests a client can make to NuGet server.

If there is any error, it may be because the request limit has been breached.

To know more about the Rate Limit:

The current request rate limit is defined here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/api/rate-limits
