Unused Code Cleaner #

A powerful Flutter package to identify and remove unused assets, functions, packages, and files from your project, keeping your codebase clean and optimized with beautiful colored logging.

🚀 Features

• 🖼️ Asset Analysis: Detects unused images, fonts, JSON files, and other assets declared in pubspec.yaml.
• ⚡ Function Analysis: Identifies unused functions and methods using Dart's AST (Abstract Syntax Tree).
• 📦 Package Analysis: Finds unused dependencies listed in pubspec.yaml.
• 📄 File Analysis: Locates unused Dart files not imported anywhere in the project.
• 🎨 Colored Logging: Provides clear, emoji-enhanced, colored console output for easy debugging.
• 🔧 Interactive Mode: Prompts for confirmation before removing unused items.
• 📊 Detailed Reports: Generates comprehensive analysis reports with file sizes and descriptions.
• 🛠 Customizable: Supports exclude patterns, include paths, and configuration via unused_code_cleaner.yaml.
• ✅ Cross-Platform: Works seamlessly with Flutter projects on all platforms.

📦 Installation

Add the package to your dev_dependencies in pubspec.yaml:

dev_dependencies:
  unused_code_cleaner: ^1.0.0

Then, fetch the dependencies:

dart pub get

To use as a command-line tool, activate it globally:

dart pub global activate unused_code_cleaner

🔧 Usage #

Command Line #

Analyze your project for unused items:

unused_code_cleaner

Remove all unused items (interactive mode):

unused_code_cleaner --all

Remove specific types of unused items:

unused_code_cleaner --assets --packages

Enable verbose logging:

unused_code_cleaner --verbose

Exclude specific patterns:

unused_code_cleaner --exclude "**/*.g.dart" --exclude "**/*.freezed.dart"

Specify a custom project path:

unused_code_cleaner --path=/path/to/your/project

Programmatic Usage #

Use the package in your Dart code:

```dart
import 'package:unused_code_cleaner/unused_code_cleaner.dart';

void main() async {
  final cleaner = UnusedCodeCleaner();
  final options = CleanupOptions(
    removeUnusedAssets: true,
    removeUnusedPackages: true,
    verbose: true,
    interactive: true,
    excludePatterns: ['**/*.g.dart', '**/*.freezed.dart'],
  );

  try {
    final result = await cleaner.analyze('.', options);
    print('Found ${result.totalUnusedItems} unused items in ${result.analysisTime.inMilliseconds}ms');
  } catch (e) {
    print('Error: $e');
  }
}

🛠 Advanced Options #
