Problem: Unused npm dependencies
Problem: Unused npm dependencies.
They make package.json harder to read, bloat node_modules, waste our time updating packages we don’t use, and create confusion about what our project requires.
Solution: npx depcheck
It lists unused dependencies.
I just found over a dozen unused packages on a client’s project.
Note that it also lists missing dependencies (packages we're referencing in code that aren't listed in package.json). Handy.
