NuGet Dependencies

An offline-first VS Code extension to inspect NuGet package dependencies and package assets directly from your workspace.

NuGet Explorer UI

Highlights

Shows direct and transitive package dependencies for .csproj projects
Resolves packages from local restore artifacts (project.assets.json, packages.lock.json, NUGET_PACKAGES)
Lists compile-time assemblies and package documents found inside .nupkg
Offline-first: prefers local artifacts to network lookups

Why use it?

Faster inspection: resolves dependencies locally when possible so you can browse packages without waiting for network calls.
Work offline: useful when working on air-gapped networks or with private feeds; leverages local restore artifacts.
Inspect package assets: quickly view compile-time assemblies and documentation inside .nupkg without extracting archives.

Usage

Open the NuGet Dependencies view in the Explorer sidebar (appears when .csproj files are present).
Expand packages to see transitive dependencies and available package assets.
Use the Refresh button in the view title to re-scan projects.
