Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Unused Dependencies Analyzer

Overview

The Unused Dependencies Analyzer is an NPM package designed to identify and remove unused dependencies in Node.js projects.

🚀 Motivation

In the fast-paced world of software development, maintaining a clean and efficient project can be challenging. Over time, dependencies accumulate, and unused or outdated packages 📦 can creep into your codebase, leading to unnecessary complexity, larger build sizes 📏, and potential security vulnerabilities 🔒.

This project was created to empower developers 👨‍💻👩‍💻 by simplifying dependency management. It aims to streamline your Node.js projects by identifying unused packages, outdated dependencies, and potential redundancies. By keeping your dependencies lean and up-to-date, this tool not only enhances your project's performance ⚡ but also ensures better maintainability 🛠️, security 🛡️, and developer productivity.

With this solution, developers can focus on building great software 🎯 while the tool takes care of keeping the dependency ecosystem healthy and optimized. 🚀

Key Features

  • Dependency Analysis: Scans project files for used and unused dependencies, supporting both production and dev dependencies.
  • Detailed Package Information: Provides information such as version, size, and usage statistics.
  • Interactive CLI: Offers a user-friendly command-line interface with colorized output and interactive package selection for removal.
  • Timing Information: Displays the time taken for both analysis and package removal processes.
  • Exclusion of Itself: Automatically excludes the unused-deps-analyzer package from being listed as unused or selected for removal.

Installation (Recommended)

To install the Unused Dependency Analyzer, run the following command to install it globally:

npm install -g @franklevel/unused-deps-analyzer
