vite-plugin-unused-code

Vite/Rollup plugin to detect unused files and unused exports in used files.

This package is a ported version of webpack-deadcode-plugin.

[!IMPORTANT] This plugin cannot check for dependencies of non-script files (for example: CSS), which may be misreported as unused, even if they actually appear in the compiled bundles. Please be careful!

Installation

npm install --save-dev vite-plugin-unused-code

Usage

// vite.config.js
import unusedCode from 'vite-plugin-unused-code'

export default {
  plugins: [
    unusedCode({
      patterns: ['src/**/*.*'],
    }),
  ],
}

Options

patterns

  The array of micromatch patterns to look for unused files and unused export in used files.

exclude

  Deprecated. The array of patterns to not look at. { exclude: ['foo'] } is actually equivalent to { patterns: ['!foo'] }.
