Depcheck

Depcheck - find unused npm dependencies | Awesome Repos

Features

Import-to-Manifest Comparison - Cross-references declared packages in the project manifest against identified imports to find unused or missing dependencies.
NPM Dependency Auditors - Scans npm project manifests and source code to identify unused packages or missing declarations.
Missing Dependency Detection - Finds packages imported in the source code that are not declared in the project manifest file.
Unused Dependency Identification - Locates packages declared in the manifest file that are not imported or used anywhere in the code.
Multi-Language Dependency Analysis - Parses multiple languages and file formats to find and locate dependency imports within the source code.
Manifest Validation - Checks that all imported libraries are correctly listed in the project manifest to prevent runtime errors.
Abstract Syntax Tree Parsers - Uses abstract syntax tree parsing to identify package imports and dependency usage patterns within code.
JavaScript Dependency Management - Provides developer utilities for managing and auditing dependencies specifically for JavaScript and Node.js projects.
Project Dependency Discovery - Automatically identifies project dependencies by analyzing source code imports and manifests.
Language Syntax Parsers - Analyzes various file formats and extensions to detect how dependencies are imported and used.
AST Extraction - Parses source code into abstract syntax trees to identify package imports and usage patterns.
Dependency Detection Parsers - Provides specialized parsing mechanisms to verify package usage by analyzing file content and project metadata.
Custom Dependency Detectors - Employs specialized logic to traverse syntax trees and locate non-standard dependency patterns in configuration files.
Code Dependency Analysis - Filters specific files and directories or defines custom parsers to refine the dependency detection process.
Tooling Dependency Detection - Identifies packages used specifically within configuration files for build tools, linters, and test runners.
Configuration Declared Dependencies - Recognizes dependencies declared within tool-specific configuration files used by build and linting ecosystems.
Build Maintenance Tools - Identifies and manages dependencies used specifically within configuration files for build tools, linters, and test runners.
Custom AST Parsers - Integrates custom functions to convert non-standard file contents into abstract syntax trees or dependency lists.
JavaScript Dependency Tree Scanners - Analyzes the JavaScript dependency tree and imports to ensure the manifest accurately reflects used packages.
Parsing Logic Extenders - Adds custom logic to walk abstract syntax tree nodes and identify package names based on specific code patterns.
Pluggable Parsers - Uses a modular system of parsers to convert various language file types into a common format for analysis.
Package Management - Checks for unused dependencies.

pipreqs is a Python dependency generator and discovery tool. It scans project imports to identify the third-party libraries required to run a project and automates the generation of requirements files containing only the packages actually used in the source code. The utility functions as a requirements file manager by comparing installed packages against actual imports. It provides capabilities for pruning unused dependencies and auditing projects to identify missing or obsolete packages. The tool employs static analysis and abstract syntax trees to isolate import statements without executin

ApplicationInspector is a multi-language static analysis tool designed to detect specific features and characteristics within source code. It utilizes a declarative JSON rules engine to identify patterns and structural tags across project directories without requiring the analyzer to be recompiled. The system distinguishes itself through a code version differ that compares two different source paths to report changes in detected features. It also provides utilities for creating and validating custom JSON-based rules, including a validation pipeline to verify syntax and identifier uniqueness.

npm-check is a command-line tool that audits a project's npm dependencies, comparing local package versions against the npm registry to identify outdated, unused, or incorrect entries. It scans both package.json and node_modules, and can also inspect globally installed npm packages for the same issues. The tool distinguishes itself by offering multiple modes of operation. It can automatically update all outdated dependencies to their latest versions without interaction, suitable for automated scripts. Alternatively, it provides an interactive terminal interface that lets users review and

Dependency-cruiser is a JavaScript and TypeScript dependency analyzer and architectural linter. It serves as a static analysis tool for mapping, visualizing, and validating module relationships within a codebase without requiring code execution. The project is distinguished by its ability to enforce architectural boundaries through a rule-based system. It detects circular dependencies, identifies orphan modules and dead code, and validates dependency constraints using allowed and forbidden relationship rules. It also provides quantitative stability analysis by calculating afferent and efferen
