pkemkes/graphylizer repository overview

⁠Graphylizer

Source on GitHub⁠

⁠Setup:

Pull the image from DockerHub and expose port 80:

docker run -p 8080:80 -d pkemkes/graphylizer

Or build the image yourself with the provided Dockerfile:

docker build -t graphylizer .
docker run -p 8080:80 -d graphylizer

⁠Usage:

"Upload" a file when prompted. All processing is ran in the browser. The content is read and a graph is parsed.

Reset: Resets the graph view to its original state.

Reload: Opens the prompt for loading a file again.

Rotate: Changes the orientation from "top-to-bottom" to "left-to-right" and vice versa.

Note: Currently, only build.cake files are supported.

⁠Idea:

Lately, I stumbled over some build.cake files that had so many dependencies that I couldn't wrap my head around how they worked. I have searched quite a while for a good solution to visualize the dependencies of the internal tasks, but I couldn't find any.

That's when I couldn't take it any more and built my own solution. It parses the provided file and renders a simple graph using cytoscape-js. The layout is rendered using cytoscape-dagre.
