Tracking used packages in a Dynamo file

[inferno9177]

Dear all,

Is there a code or way that I can find the packages that are used in a project? For example I have downloaded 10 packages but I did not use all of them, is there a way to find out which packages I have used? It’ll be troublesome to manually check my code one by one if I have a very complicated model.

Thank You!

Have a look at the audit node in the Sastrugi package

There have been a few discussions around this, a good one here:

Find nodes and packages in use in a graph

Following this discussion on how to list packages and nodes in use in a graph, I thought it could be a good idea to share here what I have tried so far - from what was initially shared by ScubaMan - and see if any improvement could be proposed. For the moment, the graph should list the paths of custom nodes, where the names of the packages can be found, but I have still no idea how to identify which packages the Zero Touch nodes belong to. Any idea, link or contribution are welcome… [Nodes-pac…

This is where I was inspired to create my node, but others like @Yna_Db have done some awesome work around this.

@truevis has a great website node search project underway here also:

Dynamo Nodes, Searchable from a Website

I think it definitely needs to include ZeroTouch nodes as a lot of packages are made with these. I would also suggest to perhaps work your way down the package manager list with the number of downloads being considered as this would include packages that users rely on frequently, and not just the ones the uploader had installed at the time. Also, this website only offers search? Would there be a way to allow for menus like https://dynamonodes.com/ has been doing for a while? [image]

And @john_pierson has the awesome What-The-Node custom package.

Trying to determine where custom nodes come from

When opening up scripts on other PC’s that don’t have the custom node family packages installed, how can I tell what packages they come from? aside from googling the name of the node (which doesnt always work) cant there be a better way? Am i missing something? thanks forum responses. [image]

You can also try the new View Extensions

I also just recently published our extension, Monocle for 2.0 (installer for 1.3.3 included in extra folder) which includes package usage analysis.

Wow! Thanks guys! so many ways to get it!

Really appreciate all your help in this @Jonathan.Olesen, @Ewan_Opie, @m.rijsmus and @john_pierson!

Thanks a lot This is just awesome…

installed the latest Sastrugi package… but the audit node is not there

[Ewan_Opie]

I deprecated the node for my v2.0.0 release (mentioned on my website Sastrugi for Dynamo - Package Version 2.0.0 ) due to innovations in similar workflows from other package and extension authors such as the monocle extension by @john_pierson

Also the new versions of Dynamo being released by the team are including this kind of helpful functionality OOTB.

Dynamo Core 2.4 Release - Dynamo BIM

I am glad that this is an area where so much collaboration has been undertaken to provide better solutions.

[Request for Feedback] Dynamo Graph Package Dependency Display

Dear Dynamo developers and users, Here I am again! First thanks for sharing your idea to our Dynamo developer team in my earlier post [Request for Feedback] Extensions on Dynamo Right Side Panel. Your feedback is very well received and should help to guide our next series of development using the new area on the right. As a result, the work of right side extension panel in Dynamo has been merged in master branch and available now for people to take a peek in 2.3.0 sandbox daily builds at dynamo…

Monocl

I would say this is the solution, very happy using it, just what I need

[john_pierson]

Thanks for the feedback!

Also, I wanted to share that the latest update to Monocle has a “boring mode” (meaning it doesn’t use the doge meme the same way). But it has more features and keyboard shortcut now.

[RubenVivancos]

@john_pierson

“boring mode”

Please put this package for revit 2018.3, it does not exist but even better because showing counts and showing package versions!!!

I got suggestion, I would like t get copied the Dynamo package versions used in clipboard in a concatenated list for example now the node copies to clipboard:

Clockwork v.2018.4.301
LunchBox v.0.2.1

And I would like to get just this because I normally paste it in a single Excel file field:

Clockwork v.2018.4.301, LunchBox v.0.2.1

And how many Python nodes are used, as number count would be amazing.

[john_pierson]

@RubenVivancos

revit 2018.3

Hmm, it should be available in that version too if you update on the package manager.

[Robert_Younger]

I’ll be honest, the second I read ‘boring mode’ I assumed you hid an image of a drill somewhere.

Hello there, very cool package, what is the name of this command ?

[john_pierson]

Monocle and the command is in the menu, “package usage doge” or “package usage boring mode”.
