Turborepo Graph Companion (VS Code)

Shows your Turborepo workspace dependency graph as a sidebar tree — parses turbo.json/package.json workspaces, no CLI shell-out. No data leaves your editor.

v0.1, new niche. Not a port from the Gap Hunter Labs IntelliJ- family catalog. Evidence: GitHub Discussion vercel/turborepo#9702 (2025-01-14) — "add turborepo button to vscode sidebar", "click the button and open a panel to preview dependency graphs", explicitly comparing against Nx's built-in graph visualization, which Turborepo doesn't have. Honestly noted: that discussion has 0 recorded reactions/comments, not a heavily-upvoted issue — what's independently confirmed is the structural fact that Turborepo genuinely has no dependency-graph visualization today, unlike Nx.

What it does

A Turborepo Graph view in the Explorer sidebar: reads your root package.json's workspaces field, finds every matching package, and shows each one's internal dependencies (other workspace packages — not node_modules) as an expandable tree, rooted at the packages nothing else in the workspace depends on (typically your apps). A circular dependency is shown once, marked (circular), rather than expanding forever. Refreshes automatically whenever a package.json changes, or on demand via the refresh button in the view's title bar.

v0.1 scope, honestly noted: this is a tree, not the visual node-graph the original discussion pictured — a real interactive webview graph is a legitimate v2, not built here. turbo.json's own task pipeline (build/test/lint per package) isn't shown either, only the package dependency structure itself.

Privacy

See PRIVACY.md — zero network calls, everything runs against files already in your workspace. No turbo CLI is invoked.
