This package provides a simple script which will try to remove as much stuff as possible without breaking your app. Don't forget to run `composer install` with `--no-dev` when creating a package for non-development environments, it will already save you loads space and files if you have packages defined in `require-dev`! How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) The script simply reads all package dirs within the vendor dir (`/`) and removed files from that dir which are not used for running your project. For most packages this means it will remove docs and tests but also the composer files, licenses and readme's. Since not all packages can be cleaned the same way the `type` in `composer.json` of the package is used to determine the cleaning handler. Currently these handlers are available: ### SymfonyBundleHandler [](#symfonybundlehandler) Used when the type is set to `symfony-bundle`, removes the `Tests` dir if it's present ### DefaultHandler [](#defaulthandler) For all other types, removes all folders except the ones that are defined in the `autoload` section of the composer.json Usage ----- [](#usage) Clean up current vendor dir: ``` php vendor/mediamonks/composer-vendor-cleaner/bin/clean ``` Clean up specific vendor dir: ``` php vendor/mediamonks/composer-vendor-cleaner/bin/clean --dir /path/to/different/vendor/ ``` To just view what it will do without removing the actual files you can do a dry run: ``` php vendor/mediamonks/composer-vendor-cleaner/bin/clean --dry-run ``` Options ------- [](#options) You pass the location of a json file to set some options which can influence the cleaning process: ``` php vendor/mediamonks/composer-vendor-cleaner/bin/clean --options /path/to/options.json ``` The current supported options are: - Excluding entire packages - Excluding specific dirs for a package - Excluding specific files for a package You can simply look at the provided `options.json` (*which is used by default*) to see how the options are defined. Disclaimer ---------- [](#disclaimer) This script is under development and is not tested extensively yet so use at your own risk! We can use your help! --------------------- [](#we-can-use-your-help) This script was mainly created to clean up Symfony Framework projects but with your help we can make it work for other frameworks too. Please create your own handlers, improve the cleaning on current handlers and send in a PR. ### Health Score 37 — LowBetter than 81% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity40 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 80% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
