PARSING DEPENDENCIES IN A CODEBASE
Embodiments are directed to an automated identification and analysis of dependencies in a codebase. In particular, dependency graphs are automatically generated to represent the dependencies in a format that may be used to generate dependency-based output. Dependency-based output may include any type of output that indicates or represents data or analysis associated with dependencies in a codebase. In some cases, a dependency graph may be used to generate a representation or indication of dependency data or analysis. For example, a dependency matrix may be generated using a dependency graph and provided as output to represent various dependency data.
1 . A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
obtain a plurality of code files;
automatically parse the plurality of code files to identify dependencies in association with the plurality of code files;
based on the identified dependencies, generate a dependency graph that represents the identified dependencies associated with the plurality of code files;
analyze the dependency graph to generate a dependency-based output that indicates analysis associated with the identified dependencies associated with the plurality of code files; and
provide, for display, the dependency-based output.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein parsing the plurality of code files comprises:
generating an abstract syntax tree for each of the plurality of code files; and
analyzing the abstract syntax trees to identify import statements and function calls.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the dependency graph comprises:
creating nodes representing at least a portion of each of the plurality of code files; and
establishing edges between the nodes based on the identified dependencies.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the dependency graph comprises a tree structure with a root node corresponding to a main code file and child nodes corresponding to dependent code files.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the dependency-based output comprises a dependency matrix generated by:
creating rows corresponding to different views or components of a software application; and
creating columns corresponding to different code dependencies, wherein each cell in the matrix indicates whether a particular view or component depends on a particular code file.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to generate a migration roadmap by:
identifying views or components with fewer dependencies based on the dependency matrix; and
prioritizing migration of the identified views or components with fewer dependencies.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:
identify an orphan code file in the dependency graph that has no incoming dependency or outgoing dependency; and
remove the identified orphan code file from a codebase to improve system performance.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein an identified dependency is represented using an incoming dependency or an outgoing dependency.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:
automatically adjust a codebase associated with the plurality of files based on the dependency-based output.
10 . A method comprising:
obtaining a plurality of code files;
automatically parsing the plurality of code files to identify dependencies in association with the plurality of code files;
based on the identified dependencies, generating a dependency graph that represents the identified dependencies associated with the plurality of code files;
analyzing the dependency graph to generate a dependency-based output that indicates analysis associated with the identified dependencies associated with the plurality of code files; and
providing, for display, the dependency-based output.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein parsing the plurality of code files comprises:
generating an abstract syntax tree for each of the plurality of code files; and
analyzing the abstract syntax trees to identify import statements and function calls.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein generating the dependency graph comprises:
creating nodes representing at least a portion of each of the plurality of code files; and
establishing edges between the nodes based on the identified dependencies.
13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the dependency graph comprises a tree structure with a root node corresponding to a main code file and child nodes corresponding to dependent code files.
14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the dependency-based output comprises a dependency matrix generated by:
creating rows corresponding to different views or components of a software application; and
creating columns corresponding to different code dependencies, wherein each cell in the matrix indicates whether a particular view or component depends on a particular code file.
15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
obtaining a plurality of code files;
automatically parsing the plurality of code files to identify dependencies in association with the plurality of code files;
based on the identified dependencies, generating a dependency graph that represents the identified dependencies associated with the plurality of code files;
analyzing the dependency graph to generate a dependency-based output that indicates analysis associated with the identified dependencies associated with the plurality of code files; and
providing, for display, the dependency-based output.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
identify an orphan code file in the dependency graph that has no incoming dependency or outgoing dependency; and
remove the identified orphan code file from a codebase to improve system performance.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein an identified dependency is represented using an incoming dependency or an outgoing dependency.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the dependency-based output comprises a dependency matrix generated by:
creating rows corresponding to different views or components of a software application; and
creating columns corresponding to different code dependencies, wherein each cell in the matrix indicates whether a particular view or component depends on a particular code file.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
generate a migration roadmap by:
identify views or components with fewer dependencies based on the dependency matrix; and
prioritize migration of the identified views or components with fewer dependencies.
