sweep-unused

A CLI tool that analyzes your codebase for unused dependencies and automatically removes them. Ideal for keeping package.json and node_modules clutter-free.

Features

• Code Analysis: Uses depcheck to find unused imports
• Two Modes:
  • Interactive: Prompts for confirmation before removing
  • Auto: Removes dependencies without asking
• Local or CI usage: Can be run in a pre-install hook or as part of a CI pipeline

Installation

Install globally using npm:

npm install -g sweep-unused

Usage

Run sweep-unused from any project directory:

Interactive Mode

sweep-unused

This scans your project for unused dependencies, lists them, and asks if you want to remove them.

Auto Mode

sweep-unused --auto

No prompt; it immediately removes all detected unused dependencies.

Package Scripts

Add a script in your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "sweep": "sweep-unused --auto"
  }
}

Then run:

npm run sweep
