This example contrasts two methods for removing npm packages from a project, illustrated through a simple text-based chart. It shows the results of `npm uninstall <packageName>` with and without the `--save` flag, comparing the effect on `node_modules` and `package.json`. The visualization also covers the alternative of manually editing `package.json` followed by running `npm prune`. The data is presented as static text blocks, using a plain-text rendering approach with no external visualization libraries, relying solely on the gist’s code snippet as its source.

How to install package from branch in GitHub

This example demonstrates how to install an npm package directly from a specific GitHub branch or commit using the command-line syntax `npm install username/repository#branch` or `npm install username/repository#commit`. It shows concrete cases such as `npm install gulpjs/gulp#4.0` for a branch and `npm install gulpjs/gulp#7f5ac012315fca6a3ad8105b6f50e8143b237c94` for a full commit hash. The visualization is a plain text code snippet, with no graphical rendering or external data source; it simply lists two command variants to clarify the package installation workflow.

Why?

This example visualizes the dependency graph behind the npm issue #549, showing how a single package installation can trigger a complex cascade of transitive dependencies. The visualization uses a force-directed layout to arrange nodes representing npm packages and edges representing dependencies, with the graph structure derived from the package.json and signals library code. It demonstrates the sheer number of intermediate dependencies required to resolve what appears to be a simple request, highlighting the "why" behind npm's dependency resolution behavior. The rendering uses the signals library's force simulation to position nodes and animate the exploration of the dependency chain.

Javascript build tools

This example illustrates the JavaScript build-tool ecosystem, mapping tools like npm, yarn, rollup, and webpack to their roles as package managers or module bundlers. It uses plain DOM elements and D3 v7’s `select` and `version` to display text, while the underlying code demonstrates module syntax with named and default exports. The visualization’s source files show how `index.js` imports from `something.js` and `thing.js`, and the HTML references a rollup-injected bundle, clarifying how bundlers assemble local packages into browser-ready scripts.

Gist b6841d55375225f550b287b3e0632119

This example demonstrates how to install Node.js and npm on Ubuntu 18.04 using shell commands, providing a step-by-step reference. It shows the process of adding the NodeSource repository and running the apt package manager to set up the runtime environment. The code uses command-line instructions with curl and sudo to download the setup script and install the nodejs package, with a link to the official Linuxize tutorial for additional guidance. The visualization is not graphical; it is a plain-text procedural guide.

package.json for the app that is causing problems

This visualization uses the package.json file from the “JitsuTestColin” app as its data source, rendering a dependency graph that maps the relationships between runtime dependencies, development dependencies, and the app’s own metadata. The code constructs a force-directed layout with d3.forceSimulation, linking nodes that represent packages and their categories. It also applies color coding to distinguish dependency types and uses transition.attrTween to animate node positions during the simulation. The graph highlights the heavy reliance on older versions of libraries like Express, Socket.io, and Grunt, which likely contribute to the app’s stability issues.

Gist 37128af71824779d01db3758902ca8ed

This example visualizes the installation steps for Node.js on Ubuntu using a procedural, code-driven diagram. It presents a sequence of terminal commands and system prompts as a branching flowchart, with nodes representing actions like `sudo apt install nodejs` and verification steps like `node -v`. The visualization uses D3.js to render the graph, likely employing `d3.forceSimulation` for node positioning and SVG elements for drawing links and labels. The code also relies on standard D3 selection and data-binding methods to map the command list into a structured network, highlighting the order and dependencies between installation phases.

Clean up the Raspbian default build for the Raspberry Pi

This example shows a step-by-step command-line guide for stripping unnecessary packages and files from the default Raspberry Pi Raspbian build. It demonstrates a shell-scripting approach using `apt-get purge`, `apt-get autoremove`, and `rm` commands to remove desktop environments, development tools, and libraries, while also regenerating SSH keys via `dpkg-reconfigure`. The visualization is plain-text, using Markdown code blocks and command examples from the gist to document the manual system-cleanup process.

Next.js Dependencies

A dependency graph visualizes the packages listed in a Next.js `package-lock.json` file, showing how each module connects to its required dependencies. The graph is rendered as an SVG with nodes as ellipses and directed edges indicating dependency relationships, with each node hyperlinked to its npm registry page. Built using React and the Graphviz layout algorithm, the visualization assigns each package a specific position to clearly display the hierarchical structure of the project's dependency tree.
