DepLens

中文 ｜ English

DepLens is a plugin that displays third-party dependency reliability inside the IDE, helping developers quickly determine whether an imported dependency library is trustworthy when using AI-assisted coding.

When you use third-party dependencies in a project, DepLens automatically analyzes the repository information corresponding to the dependency and displays some key metrics in the IDE, such as:

• ⭐ GitHub Star count
• 🕒 Repository last update time

With this information, developers can more intuitively judge whether a dependency is:

• Maintained long-term
• Still active
• Possibly abandoned

Thus reducing the risk of using unreliable dependencies.

Features

Currently implemented:

• Analyze Go modules in JetBrains IDE

• Automatically resolve the GitHub repository corresponding to dependencies

• Inline display repository information in the IDE (Inlay Hint)

  • GitHub Star count
  • Last update time

• Help developers quickly identify:

  • Niche dependencies
  • Long-unmaintained dependencies

Example:

Roadmap

DepLens plans to gradually expand to more languages and IDEs.
