Finding projects depending on given library

Hi all, I’ve checked if such question was posted before but couldn’t find it. So apologies if this is a duplicated.

I was wondering if there was a way to find projects that had certain library as dependency. It’d would make sense if this was an HEX feature or even in GitHub/GitLab. For sure it’s not an Elixir specific question.
The reason I’m asking is because sometimes you come across a new library and you’d like to see how it’s “commonly” used. Without (suitable) tutorial it can be tough but by reading code that depend on it might actually be enough/better.

Any ideas?

Yes, on hex.pm:

right column, at the bottom. ecto_sql has 183 dependents.

Oh thanks, I only saw the dependencies (as per mix.deps understanding).
thanks a lot @derek-zhou
