View NuGet package dependency hierarchy

Question

Is there a way, either textual or graphical, to view the hierarchy of dependencies between NuGet packages?

Answer 1

I add a compatible solution with the latest version of nuget-core

install-package nuget.core

This is the console App to get the dependencies graph

    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the local repo folder: ");
            var repoFolder = Console.ReadLine();

            var repo = new LocalPackageRepository(repoFolder);
            IQueryable packages = repo.GetPackages();
            OutputGraph(repo, packages, 0);
        }

        static void OutputGraph(LocalPackageRepository repository, IEnumerable packages, int depth)
        {
            foreach (IPackage package in packages)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}{1} v{2}", new string(' ', depth), package.Id, package.Version);

                IList dependentPackages = new List();
                foreach (var dependencySet in package.DependencySets)
                {
                    foreach (var dependency in dependencySet.Dependencies)
                    {
                        var dependentPackage = repository.FindPackage(dependency.Id, dependency.VersionSpec, true, true);
                        if (dependentPackage != null)
                        {
                            dependentPackages.Add(dependentPackage);
                        }
                    }       
                }

                OutputGraph(repository, dependentPackages, depth += 3);
            }
        }
    }
