Approach used to search for unused dependencies:

  • Use npx depcheck to list out potential unused dependencies.
  • check on the library how it could be used, imported and search all the files in the project for that can kind of use.
  • Check git history of that line to get context of when it's added, files that are changed during that commit, file that imported that package.
  • If we get a use case that can be used leave it as is, else uninstall the package this will remove it from package.json and package-lock.json.
  • Run the app both consulting and labs and check if it cause's any error while running the app.
  • Build the app and check if there's any error in the build process.
