depcheck-detector-execa

Detector for depcheck that finds dependencies in execa calls.

Install

# npm
$ npm install depcheck-detector-execa

# Yarn
$ yarn add depcheck-detector-execa

Usage

Custom detectors are currently only supported when using depcheck via the Node.js API. Simply add the detector to your depcheck config and run depcheck:

const depcheck = require('depcheck')
const execaDetector = require('depcheck-detector-execa')

const options = {
  detectors: [
    execaDetector,
  ],
}

depcheck(process.cwd(), options, unused => {
  console.log(unused.dependencies); // an array containing the unused dependencies
  console.log(unused.devDependencies); // an array containing the unused devDependencies
  console.log(unused.missing); // a lookup containing the dependencies missing in `package.json` and where they are used
  console.log(unused.invalidFiles); // files that cannot access or parse
  console.log(unused.invalidDirs); // directories that cannot access
})

The detector detects calls like

import { execa, execaCommand } from 'execa'

execa('foo')
execa('foo', ['--verbose'])
execaCommand('foo bar')
