composer-unused

Show unused packages by scanning your code

Motivation

Working in a big repository with multiple people, sometimes you might lose track of you required composer packages. You have so many packages you can't be sure if they are used or not.

You can use composer why package/A but that only gives you information about why this package is installed in dependency to another package.

What if you need to find out if the provided namespaces of the package are used in your code?

composer unused to the rescue!

Installation

Run

$ composer global require icanhazstring/composer-unused

Usage

Run

$ composer unused

Exclude folders and packages

Sometimes you don't want to scan a certain dir or ignore a composer package while scanning. For this you can provide the --excludeDir|-xd or the --excludePackage|-xp parameter.

$ composer unused --excludeDir=config --excludePackage=symfony/console

Make sure the package is named exactly as in your composer.json

You can provide multiple folders and package by repeating the argument.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter some errors, try running

$ composer unused -vvv

This will enable debug mode and create an error report beside your composer.json.

Example (doctrine/orm)
