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 🙏

🚀 DepCheckify

npm version License: ISC Maintenance

DepCheckify is a premium, interactive CLI tool designed to keep your Node.js projects lean and healthy. It intelligently audits your dependencies, identifying exactly what's unused, missing, or outdated, and lets you manage them through a beautiful, terminal-based interface.


✨ Key Features

  • 🔍 Intelligent Scanning – Scans your source code to find dependencies that are used but not declared in package.json.
  • 🗑️ Unused Detection – Spots the "ghost" dependencies that are sitting in your package.json but never actually imported.
  • 🆙 One-Click Updates – Checks for the latest versions and lets you update them instantly.
  • 🎨 Premium UI – Experience a CLI that feels like a modern app, featuring vibrant banners, smooth animations (loading spinners), and a double-bordered aesthetic.
  • 🛠️ Interactive Management – No more typing long npm install strings. Use a checkbox-driven console to select your actions.
  • 🛡️ Safety First – Includes a Dry-Run mode to preview changes and a final confirmation step before any file mutations.
  • Modern ESM – Fully optimized for the modern Node.js ecosystem.

🚀 Quick Start

You don't even need to install it to try it out. Run it directly via npx:

npx dep-checkify

Global Installation

To have the depcheckify command available everywhere:

npm install -g dep-checkify

🛠 Usage

Once installed, simply type the command in your project's root directory:

depcheckify

Available Options

| Option | Shorthand | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | --dry-run | -d | Preview planned actions without executing them. | | --path <path> | -p | Specify a custom project directory to scan. | | --version | -v | Display the current version of DepCheckify. | | --help | -h | Display the help documentation. |


⚙️ How It Works

  1. Deep Scan: Leverages advanced AST analysis to map every import in your codebase.
  2. Audit Report: Categorizes findings into actionable groups (Unused, Missing, Outdated).
  3. Selection: You choose exactly which packages to handle using a checklist.
  4. Verification: DepCheckify prepares the exact npm commands for your review.
  5. Execution: Commands are executed programmatically, saving you time and reducing errors.

📁 Support for "Raw" Projects

Running depcheckify in a folder without a package.json? We've got you covered. The tool will:

  • Discover all required modules from your scripts.
  • Suggest missing dependencies.
  • Help you initialize a fresh package.json with all detected requirements.
