Understanding Dgeni’s Pipeline: Live Infographic

Understanding Dgeni's Pipeline

I was having a heck of a time understanding how Dgeni‘s processors all work together and what order they run in, so I created a Dgeni package to automatically generate a doc that shows all the processors on a single page, and gives you information on what they do.
