action-graph

import VersionLabel from '@site/src/components/Docs/VersionLabel';

The moon action-graph [target] (or moon ag) command will generate and serve a visual graph of all actions and tasks within the workspace, known as the action graph. In other tools, this is sometimes referred to as a dependency graph or task graph.

# Run the visualizer locally
$ moon action-graph

# Export to DOT format
$ moon action-graph --dot > graph.dot

A target can be passed to focus the graph, including dependencies and dependents. For example, moon action-graph app:build.

Arguments

• [target] - Optional target to focus.

Options

• --dependents - Include dependents of the focused target.
• --dot - Print the graph in DOT format.
• --host - The host address. Defaults to 127.0.0.1. <VersionLabel version="1.36.0" />
• --json - Print the graph in JSON format.
• --port - The port to bind to. Defaults to a random port. <VersionLabel version="1.36.0" />

Configuration

• pipeline in .moon/workspace.*
• tasks in .moon/tasks/*
• tasks in moon.*

Example output
