2
+ title: Production Mode
3
+ sidebar:
4
+ order: 1
5
+ ---
6
+
7
+ The default mode for Knip is comprehensive and targets all project code,
8
+ including configuration files, test files, Storybook stories, and so on. Test
9
+ files usually import production files. This prevents production files or their
10
+ exports from being reported as unused, while sometimes both of them can be
11
+ deleted. Knip features a "production mode" to focus only on the code that you
12
+ ship.
13
+
14
+ ## Configuration
15
+
16
+ To tell Knip what is production code, add an exclamation mark behind each
17
+ `pattern!` that represents production code:
18
+
19
+ ```json title="knip.json"
20
+ {
21
+ "entry": ["src/index.ts!", "build/script.js"],
22
+ "project": ["src/**/*.ts!", "build/*.js"]
23
+ }
24
+ ```
25
+
26
+ Depending on file structure and enabled plugins, you might not need to modify
27
+ your configuration at all.
28
+
29
+ Run Knip with the `--production` flag:
30
+
31
+ ```sh
32
+ knip --production
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ Here's what's included in production mode:
36
+
37
+ - Only `entry` and `project` patterns suffixed with `!`
38
+ - Only production `entry` file patterns exported by plugins (such as Next.js and
39
+ Remix)
40
+ - Only the `start` and `postinstall` scripts
41
+ - Ignore exports with the [`@internal` tag][1]
42
+
43
+ :::note
44
+
45
+ The production run does not replace the default run. Depending on your needs you
46
+ can run either of them or both separately. Usually both modes can share the same
47
+ configuration.
48
+
49
+ :::
50
+
51
+ To see the difference between default and production mode in great detail, use
52
+ the `--debug` flag and inspect what entry and project files are used, and the
53
+ plugins that are enabled. For instance, in production mode this shows that files
54
+ such as tests and Storybook files (stories) are excluded from the analysis.
55
+
56
+ In case files like mocks and test helpers are reported as unused files, use
57
+ negated patterns to exclude those files in production mode:
58
+
59
+ ```json title="knip.json"
60
+ {
61
+ "entry": ["src/index.ts!"],
62
+ "project": ["src/**/*.ts!", "!src/test-helpers/**!"]
63
+ }
64
+ ```
65
+
66
+ Also see [configuring project files][2] to align `entry` and `project` with
67
+ production mode.
68
+
69
+ ## Strict Mode
70
+
71
+ In production mode, only `dependencies` (not `devDependencies`) are considered
72
+ when finding unused or unlisted dependencies.
73
+
74
+ Additionally, the `--strict` flag can be added to:
75
+
76
+ - Verify isolation: workspaces should use strictly their own `dependencies`
77
+ - Include `peerDependencies` when finding unused or unlisted dependencies
78
+ - Report type-only imports listed in `dependencies`
79
+
80
+ ```sh
81
+ knip --production --strict
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ Using `--strict` implies `--production`, so the latter can be omitted.
85
+
86
+ ## Types
87
+
88
+ Add `--exclude types` if you don't want to include types in the report:
89
+
90
+ ```sh
91
+ knip --production --exclude types
92
+ ```

+
5
+ ## Built-in Reporters
6
+
7
+ Knip provides the following built-in reporters:
8
+
9
+ - `codeowners`
10
+ - `compact`
11
+ - [`disclosure`][1]
12
+ - [`github-actions`][2]
13
+ - [`json`][3]
14
+ - [`markdown`][4]
15
+ - [`codeclimate`][5]
16
+ - `symbols` (default)
17
+
18
+ Example usage:
19
+
20
+ ```sh
21
+ knip --reporter compact
22
+ ```
23
+
24
+ ### JSON
25
+
26
+ The built-in `json` reporter output is meant to be consumed by other tools. It
27
+ reports in JSON format with unused `files` and `issues` as an array with one
28
+ object per file structured like this:
29
+
30
+ ```json
31
+ {
32
+ "files": ["src/unused.ts"],
33
+ "issues": [
34
+ {
35
+ "file": "package.json",
36
+ "owners": ["@org/admin"],
37
+ "dependencies": [{ "name": "jquery", "line": 5, "col": 6, "pos": 71 }],
38
+ "devDependencies": [{ "name": "lodash", "line": 9, "col": 6, "pos": 99 }],
39
+ "unlisted": [{ "name": "react" }, { "name": "@org/unresolved" }],
40
+ "exports": [],
41
+ "types": [],
42
+ "duplicates": []
43
+ },
44
+ {
45
+ "file": "src/Registration.tsx",
46
+ "owners": ["@org/owner"],
47
+ "dependencies": [],
48
+ "devDependencies": [],
49
+ "binaries": [],
50
+ "unresolved": [
51
+ { "name": "./unresolved", "line": 8, "col": 23, "pos": 407 }
52
+ ],
53
+ "exports": [{ "name": "unusedExport", "line": 1, "col": 14, "pos": 13 }],
54
+ "types": [
55
+ { "name": "unusedEnum", "line": 3, "col": 13, "pos": 71 },
56
+ { "name": "unusedType", "line": 8, "col": 14, "pos": 145 }
57
+ ],
58
+ "enumMembers": {
59
+ "MyEnum": [
60
+ { "name": "unusedMember", "line": 13, "col": 3, "pos": 167 },
61
+ { "name": "unusedKey", "line": 15, "col": 3, "pos": 205 }
62
+ ]
63
+ },
64
+ "classMembers": {
65
+ "MyClass": [
66
+ { "name": "unusedMember", "line": 40, "col": 3, "pos": 687 },
67
+ { "name": "unusedSetter", "line": 61, "col": 14, "pos": 1071 }
68
+ ]
69
+ },
70
+ "duplicates": ["Registration", "default"]
71
+ }
72
+ ]
73
+ }
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ The keys match the [reported issue types][6]. Example usage:
77
+
78
+ ```sh
79
+ knip --reporter json
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ ### Github Actions
83
+
84
+ TODO
85
+
86
+ Example usage:
87
+
88
+ ```sh
89
+ knip --reporter github-actions
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ ### Markdown
93
+
94
+ The built-in `markdown` reporter output is meant to be saved to a Markdown file.
95
+ This allows following the changes in issues over time. It reports issues in
96
+ Markdown tables separated by issue types as headings, for example:
97
+
98
+ ```md
99
+ # Knip report
100
+
101
+ ## Unused files (1)
102
+
103
+ - src/unused.ts
104
+
105
+ ## Unlisted dependencies (2)
106
+
107
+ | Name | Location | Severity |
108
+ | :-------------- | :---------------- | :------- |
109
+ | unresolved | src/index.ts:8:23 | error |
110
+ | @org/unresolved | src/index.ts:9:23 | error |
111
+
112
+ ## Unresolved imports (1)
113
+
114
+ | Name | Location | Severity |
115
+ | :----------- | :----------------- | :------- |
116
+ | ./unresolved | src/index.ts:10:12 | error |
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ ### Disclosure
120
+
121
+ This reporter is useful for sharing large reports. Groups of issues are rendered
122
+ in a closed state initially. The reporter renders this:
123
+
124
+ ````text
125
+ $ knip --reporter disclosure
126
+
127
+ <details>
128
+ <summary>Unused files (2)</summary>
129
+
130
+ ```
131
+ unused.ts
132
+ dangling.js
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ </details>
136
+
137
+ <details>
138
+ <summary>Unused dependencies (2)</summary>
139
+
140
+ ```
141
+ unused-dep package.json
142
+ my-package package.json
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ </details>
146
+ ````
147
+
148
+ The above can be copy-pasted where HTML and Markdown is supported, such as a
149
+ GitHub issue or pull request, and renders like so:
150
+
151
+ <details>
152
+ <summary>Unused files (2)</summary>
153
+
154
+ ```
155
+ unused.ts
156
+ dangling.js
157
+ ```
158
+
159
+ </details>
160
+
161
+ <details>
162
+ <summary>Unused dependencies (2)</summary>
163
+
164
+ ```
165
+ unused-dep package.json
166
+ my-package package.json
167
+ ```
168
+
169
+ </details>
170
+
171
+ ### CodeClimate
172
+
173
+ The built-in `codeclimate` reporter generates output in the Code Climate Report
174
+ JSON format. Example usage:
175
+
176
+ ```text
177
+ $ knip --reporter codeclimate
178
+
179
+ [
180
+ {
181
+ "type": "issue",
182
+ "check_name": "Unused exports",
183
+ "description": "isUnused",
184
+ "categories": ["Bug Risk"],
185
+ "location": {
186
+ "path": "path/to/file.ts",
187
+ "positions": {
188
+ "begin": {
189
+ "line": 6,
190
+ "column": 1
191
+ }
192
+ }
193
+ }
194
+ "severity": "major",
195
+ "fingerprint": "e9789995c1fe9f7d75eed6a0c0f89e84",
196
+ }
197
+ ]
198
+ ```
199
+
200
+ ## Custom Reporters
201
+
202
+ When the provided built-in reporters are not sufficient, a custom local reporter
203
+ can be implemented or an external reporter can be used. Multiple reporters can
204
+ be used at once by repeating the `--reporter` argument.
205
+
206
+ The results are passed to the function from its default export and can be used
207
+ to write issues to `stdout`, a JSON or CSV file, or sent to a service. It
208
+ supports a local JavaScript or TypeScript file or an external dependency.
209
+
210
+ ### Local
211
+
212
+ The default export of the reporter should be a function with this interface:
213
+
214
+ ```ts
215
+ type Reporter = async (options: ReporterOptions): void;
216
+
217
+ type ReporterOptions = {
218
+ report: Report;
219
+ issues: Issues;
220
+ counters: Counters;
221
+ configurationHints: ConfigurationHints;
222
+ isDisableConfigHints: boolean;
223
+ isTreatConfigHintsAsErrors: boolean;
224
+ cwd: string;
225
+ isProduction: boolean;
226
+ isShowProgress: boolean;
227
+ options: string;
228
+ };
229
+ ```
230
+
231
+ The data can then be used to write issues to `stdout`, a JSON or CSV file, or
232
+ sent to a service.
233
+
234
+ Here's a most minimal reporter example:
235
+
236
+ ```ts title="./my-reporter.ts"
237
+ import type { Reporter } from 'knip';
238
+
239
+ const reporter: Reporter = function (options) {
240
+ console.log(options.issues);
241
+ console.log(options.counters);
242
+ };
243
+
244
+ export default reporter;
245
+ ```
246
+
247
+ Example usage:
248
+
249
+ ```sh
250
+ knip --reporter ./my-reporter.ts
251
+ ```
252
+
253
+ ### External
254
+
255
+ Pass `--reporter [pkg-name]` to use an external reporter. The default exported
256
+ function of the `main` script (default: `index.js`) will be invoked with the
257
+ `ReporterOptions`, just like a local reporter.
258
+
259
+ ## Preprocessors
260
+
261
+ A preprocessor is a function that runs after the analysis is finished. It
262
+ receives the results from the analysis and should return data in the same
263
+ shape/structure (unless you pass it to only your own reporter).
264
+
265
+ The data goes through the preprocessors before the final data is passed to the
266
+ reporters. There are no built-in preprocessors. Just like reporters, use e.g.
267
+ `--preprocessor ./my-preprocessor` from the command line (can be repeated).
268
+
269
+ The default export of the preprocessor should be a function with this interface:
270
+
271
+ ```ts
272
+ type Preprocessor = async (options: ReporterOptions) => ReporterOptions;
273
+ ```
274
+
275
+ Like reporters, you can use local JavaScript or TypeScript files and external
276
+ npm packages as preprocessors.
277
+
278
+ Example preprocessor:
279
+
280
+ ```ts title="./preprocess.ts"
281
+ import type { Preprocessor } from 'knip';
282
+
283
+ const preprocess: Preprocessor = function (options) {
284
+ // modify options.issues and options.counters
285
+ return options;
286
+ };
287
+
288
+ export default preprocess;
289
+ ```
290
+
291
+ Example usage:
292
+
293
+ ```sh
294
+ knip --preprocessor ./preprocess.ts
295
+ ```

6
+
7
+ Use rules or filters to customize Knip's output. This has various use cases, a
8
+ few examples:
9
+
10
+ - Temporarily focus on a specific issue type.
11
+ - You don't want to see unused `type`, `interface` and `enum` exports reported.
12
+ - Specific issue types should be printed, but not counted against the total
13
+ error count.
14
+
15
+ If you're looking to handle one-off exceptions, also see [JSDoc tags][1].
16
+
17
+ ## Filters
18
+
19
+ You can `--include` or `--exclude` any of the reported issue types to slice &
20
+ dice the report to your needs. Alternatively, they can be added to the
21
+ configuration (e.g. `"exclude": ["dependencies"]`).
22
+
23
+ Use `--include` to report only specific issue types. The following example
24
+ commands do the same:
25
+
26
+ ```sh
27
+ knip --include files --include dependencies
28
+ knip --include files,dependencies
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ Or the other way around, use `--exclude` to ignore the types you're not
32
+ interested in:
33
+
34
+ ```sh
35
+ knip --include files --exclude enumMembers,duplicates
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ Also see the [list of issue types][2].
39
+
40
+ ### Shorthands
41
+
42
+ Knip has shortcuts to include only specific issue types.
43
+
44
+ 1. The `--dependencies` flag includes:
45
+ - `dependencies` (and `devDependencies` + `optionalPeerDependencies`)
46
+ - `unlisted`
47
+ - `binaries`
48
+ - `unresolved`
49
+ - `catalog`
50
+
51
+ 2. The `--exports` flag includes:
52
+ - `exports`
53
+ - `types`
54
+ - `enumMembers`
55
+ - `duplicates`
56
+
57
+ 3. The `--files` flag is a shortcut for `--include files`
58
+
59
+ ## Rules
60
+
61
+ Use `rules` in the configuration to customize the issue types that count towards
62
+ the total error count, or to exclude them altogether.
63
+
64
+ | Value | Default | Printed | Counted | Description |
65
+ | :-------- | :-----: | :-----: | :-----: | :-------------------------------- |
66
+ | `"error"` | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Similar to the `--include` filter |
67
+ | `"warn"` | - | ✓ | - | Printed in faded/gray color |
68
+ | `"off"` | - | - | - | Similar to the `--exclude` filter |
69
+
70
+ Example:
71
+
72
+ ```json title="knip.json"
73
+ {
74
+ "rules": {
75
+ "files": "warn",
76
+ "classMembers": "off",
77
+ "duplicates": "off"
78
+ }
79
+ }
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ Also see the [issue types overview][2].
83
+
84
+ NOTE: If the `dependencies` issue type is included, the `devDependencies` and
85
+ `optionalPeerDependencies` types can still be set to `"warn"` separately.
86
+
87
+ The rules are modeled after the ESLint `rules` configuration, and could be
88
+ extended in the future.
89
+
90
+ ## Rules or filters?
91
+
92
+ Filters are meant to be used as command-line flags, rules allow for more
93
+ fine-grained configuration.
94
+
95
+ - Rules are more fine-grained since they also have "warn".
96
+ - Rules could be extended in the future.
97
+ - Filters can be set in configuration and from CLI (rules only in
98
+ configuration).
99
+ - Filters have shorthands (rules don't have this).

2
+ title: Script Parser
3
+ ---
4
+
5
+ Knip parses shell commands and scripts to find additional dependencies, entry
6
+ files and configuration files in various places:
7
+
8
+ - In [`package.json`][1]
9
+ - In [CLI arguments][2]
10
+ - In [scripts][3]
11
+ - In [source code][4]
12
+
13
+ Shell scripts can be read and statically analyzed, but they're not executed.
14
+
15
+ ## package.json
16
+
17
+ The `main`, `bin`, `exports` and `scripts` fields may contain entry files. Let's
18
+ take a look at this example:
19
+
20
+ ```json title="package.json"
21
+ {
22
+ "name": "my-package",
23
+ "main": "index.js",
24
+ "exports": {
25
+ "./lib": {
26
+ "import": "./dist/index.mjs",
27
+ "require": "./dist/index.cjs"
28
+ }
29
+ },
30
+ "bin": {
31
+ "program": "bin/cli.js"
32
+ },
33
+ "scripts": {
34
+ "build": "rollup src/entry.ts",
35
+ "start": "node --loader tsx server.ts"
36
+ }
37
+ }
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ From this example, Knip automatically adds the following files as entry files:
41
+
42
+ - `index.js`
43
+ - `./dist/index.mjs`
44
+ - `./dist/index.cjs`
45
+ - `bin/cli.js`
46
+ - `src/entry.ts`
47
+ - `server.ts`
48
+
49
+ ### Excluded files
50
+
51
+ Knip would not add the `exports` if the `dist` folder is matching a pattern in a
52
+ relevant `.gitignore` file or `ignore` option.
53
+
54
+ Knip does not add scripts without a standard extension. For instance, the
55
+ `bin/tool` file might be a valid executable for Node.js, but wouldn't be added
56
+ or parsed by Knip.
57
+
58
+ ### CLI Arguments
59
+
60
+ When parsing the `scripts` of `package.json` and other files, Knip detects
61
+ various types of inputs. Some examples:
62
+
63
+ - The first positional argument is usually an entry file
64
+ - Configuration files are often in the `-c` or `--config` argument
65
+ - The `--require`, `--loader` or `--import` arguments are often dependencies
66
+
67
+ ```json
68
+ {
69
+ "name": "my-lib",
70
+ "scripts": {
71
+ "start": "node --import tsx/esm run.ts",
72
+ "bundle": "tsup -c tsup.lib.config.ts",
73
+ "type-check": "tsc -p tsconfig.app.json"
74
+ }
75
+ }
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ The `"start"` script will have `tsx` marked as a referenced dependency, and adds
79
+ `run.ts` as an entry file.
80
+
81
+ Additionally, the following files are detected as configuration files:
82
+
83
+ - `tsup.lib.config.ts` - to be handled by the tsup plugin
84
+ - `tsconfig.app.json` - to be handled by the TypeScript plugin
85
+
86
+ Such executables and their arguments are all defined in plugins separately for
87
+ fine-grained results.
88
+
89
+ ## Scripts
90
+
91
+ Plugins may also use the script parser to extract entry files and dependencies
92
+ from commands. A few examples:
93
+
94
+ - GitHub Actions: workflow files may contain `run` commands (e.g.
95
+ `.github/workflows/ci.yml`)
96
+ - Husky & Lefthook: Git hooks such as `.git/hooks/pre-push` contain scripts;
97
+ also `lefthook.yml` has `run` commands
98
+ - Lint Staged: configuration values are all commands
99
+ - Nx: task executors and `nx:run-commands` executors in `project.json` contains
100
+ scripts
101
+ - Release It: `hooks` contain commands
102
+
103
+ Plugins can also return configuration files. Some examples:
104
+
105
+ - The Angular plugin detects `options.tsConfig` as a TypeScript config file
106
+ - The GitHub Actions plugin parses `run` commands which may contain
107
+ configuration file paths
108
+
109
+ ## Source Code
110
+
111
+ When Knip is walking the abstract syntax trees (ASTs) of JavaScript and
112
+ TypeScript source code files, it looks for imports and exports. But there's a
113
+ few more (rather obscure) things that Knip detects in the process. Below are
114
+ examples of additional scripts Knip parses to find entry files and dependencies.
115
+
116
+ ### bun
117
+
118
+ If the `bun` dependency is imported in source code, Knip considers the contents
119
+ of `$` template tags to be scripts:
120
+
121
+ ```ts
122
+ import { $ } from 'bun';
123
+ await $`bun boxen I ❤ unicorns`;
124
+ await $`boxen I ❤ unicorns`;
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ Parsing the script results in the `boxen` binary (the `boxen-cli` dependency) as
128
+ referenced (twice).
129
+
130
+ ### execa
131
+
132
+ If the `execa` dependency is imported in source code, Knip considers the
133
+ contents of `$` template tags to be scripts:
134
+
135
+ ```ts
136
+ await $({ stdio: 'inherit' })`c8 node hydrate.js`;
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ Parsing the script results in `hydrate.js` added as an entry file and the `c8`
140
+ binary/dependency as referenced.
141
+
142
+ ### zx
143
+
144
+ If the `zx` dependency is imported in source code, Knip considers the contents
145
+ of `$` template tags to be scripts:
146
+
147
+ ```ts
148
+ await $`node scripts/parse.js`;
149
+ ```
150
+
151
+ This will add `scripts/parse.js` as an entry file.
