Core Features

Live Dependency Graph

An interactive D3.js force-directed graph integrated into the Explorer sidebar, giving you a clear visual map of your codebase.

Real-time Updates

The graph updates automatically as you open or edit files, keeping everything in sync with your current context.

Bi-directional Visualization

Understand both sides of your code relationships:

  • What the current file imports
  • What files depend on it

Interactive Controls

  • Single click: Highlight related dependencies
  • Double click: Open the file instantly
  • Drag & zoom: Navigate complex graphs with precision

Full Screen Mode

Expand the graph into a dedicated editor tab for exploring large and complex projects.
