Knip is a CLI linter that finds unused files, dependencies, and exports in JavaScript and TypeScript projects, including monorepos. It uses framework-aware entry point analysis with 150+ plugins for tools like Next.js, Vite, Jest, and Storybook.
Use cases
- find unused dependencies in package.json
- detect dead code and unused exports in a TypeScript project
- clean up unused files in a monorepo
- prune package.json before shipping
- find which exports are never imported
- integrate dead code detection into CI
When to choose
- you maintain a JavaScript or TypeScript codebase and want to remove dead code
- you want framework-aware analysis with plugins for your build tools and test runners
- you work in a monorepo and need accurate entry point detection
- you want to keep package.json free of unused dependencies
When to avoid
- your project is not JavaScript or TypeScript
- you need general-purpose linting of code style or bugs (use ESLint instead)
- you need runtime dependency vulnerability scanning (use a security auditor instead)
