## What it is
unimported is a Node.js CLI that scans JavaScript/TypeScript projects by following import/require statements from entry files to report unimported source files, missing dependencies, and removable dependencies. It supports ignore lists, auto-fix deletion of unimported files, and CI integration, but is now archived in favor of knip.

## Use cases
- find unused source files in a javascript project
- detect dependencies missing from package.json
- remove obsolete dependencies from package.json
- enforce dead code checks in CI
- clean up dangling files in a typescript codebase

## When to choose
- you need a quick npx-based scan for unused files and dependencies in a JS/TS project
- you want CI to fail on unimported files or unlisted dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the project is archived and recommends knip
- you need language support beyond JavaScript/TypeScript

## Facets
