Freshli is a tool for collecting historical metrics about a project's dependencies. View graphs about how your projects' dependency freshness has changed over time.
You can use Freshli in a number of ways:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Homepage | Freshli marketing website |
| Website UI | Website that displays analysis reports. Provides a publication API to the CLI application. This is a closed-source project, and access to reports will eventually be monetized. |
| Freshli API | Targeted for initial release with version 0.7.0, this will be the API that both Freshli UI and Freshli CLI use. This is a closed-source project, and access will be limited to users with Freshli UI accounts. |
| Command Line (CLI) | Analyze a local project. Results are viewable via the Website App. |
| Command Line Java Language Agent | Language-specific agent program that knows how to process dependencies from the Java ecosystem |
| Command Line DotNet Language Agent (in progress) | Language-specific agent program that knows how to process dependencies from the .NET ecosystem |
| Command Line Python Language Agent (in progress) | Language-specific agent program that knows how to process dependencies from the Python ecosystem |
| Command Line Go Language Agent (in progress) | Language-specific agent program that knows how to process dependencies from the Go ecosystem |
You can view the GitHub project to see the work that we have planned. The "Roadmap" tab shows the milestones we've assigned each Epic to. We've elected to use the same version numbers across all of the Freshli projects to help communicate which work will be completed simultaneously. We're currently working on releasing version 0.6.0.
The following libraries support the functionality of either the CLI, a language agent, or the website.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Freshli Commons | A small Ruby Gem containing common code used by build scripts and Cucumber/Aruba tests in most Freshli repositories |
| Dependency History Maven | A Java library that knows how to determine a package's release history using the information in Maven. Used by freshli-agent-java and the fork of the Versions Maven Plugin. |
| Versions Maven Plugin (fork) | A fork of the Maven Versions Plugin that adds a Maven goal that can be run to resolve version ranges to a specific version number that was available on a particular date. This is required to collect historical data correctly. |
