Description
Tach is a Python tool designed to enforce dependencies and interfaces written in Rust, inspired by the modular monolith architecture. It helps developers manage their project's structure by ensuring that imports only come from declared dependencies, cross-module calls use the public interface, and there are no cycles in the dependency graph.
How to use Tach?
To use Tach, install it via pip with 'pip install tach'. Then, run 'tach init' to set up your project. Use the arrow keys to navigate and mark module boundaries. Finally, enforce the boundaries by running 'tach check' to validate your setup.
