Graph generator of entire npm registry.
You can see this data used in the anvaka/allnpmviz3d and anvaka/pm
git clone https://github.com/anvaka/allnpm
cd allnpm
npm install
Unfortunately we can no longer access https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry/_design/scratch/_view/byField
directly. This CouchDB view used to return every single package from npm, that could be used
to construct the graph.
To get all npm packages we have to replicate the entire npm repository using standalone instance of CouchDB and following instructions from https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-registry-couchapp.
The process took me ~2 days and ~300GB of hard drive, until local instance of CouchDB compacted its views. After compaction the disk usage went down to ~100GB.
Note: it is not enough to just replicate, need to wait until all indexes are generated.
Once the replication is complete you can do
wget http://admin:[email protected]:5984/registry/_design/scratch/_view/byField
In November 2020, this produced 3.3GB of npm packages and saved it into byField file.
Now that we got the byField file, it's time for layout.
- Run the layouter:
node layout.js. This will take a while (I left it running overnight). - Produced files
["labels.json", "links.bin", "positions.bin"]could be placed into galactic-data.
