## What it is
ngrev is a graphical Electron application for reverse engineering Angular projects through static code analysis. It visualizes the relationships between modules, providers, and directives without requiring the application to be running.

## Use cases
- visualize module dependencies in an Angular app
- understand relationships between directives and providers
- explore the structure of an unfamiliar Angular codebase
- statically analyze an Angular project without running it
- generate a dependency graph of an Angular application

## When to choose
- you need to understand or document the architecture of an Angular (v11+, Ivy) application
- you want a GUI to explore module, provider, and directive relationships
- you prefer static analysis over running the app

## When to avoid
- your project uses Angular versions older than v11 or the View Engine compiler
- you need runtime or dynamic analysis of a running application
- you work with non-Angular frameworks like React or Vue

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance

- domain: developer-tools, web-development, frontend
- platform: windows
