Composer Drupal Unused
======================

[](#composer-drupal-unused)

The Composer Drupal Unused package returns a list of Drupal Composer Packages that are not installed in your Drupal installation.

This plugin does not require a fully installed and boostrapped Drupal installation. It just parses the `composer.json`and typical configuration files in Drupal.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1 or greater
- Composer

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add Composer Drupal Unused as a composer dependency.

```
composer require szeidler/composer-drupal-unused:^1.0
```

or global

```
composer global require szeidler/composer-drupal-unused:^1.0
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### List unused Drupal packages

[](#list-unused-drupal-packages)

```
composer unused-drupal-packages
```

The command accepts the following options.

- `--config-dir` Define the path to your config directory. Defaults to `config/sync`.
- `--remove` Removes the identified unused packages from composer.lock and composer.json.

The command will list up Drupal packages that are declared as root level dependencies your composer.json, but not enabled in Drupal.

It will look up the `core.extension.yml` from the given Drupal Configuration Management directory. In addition it will look up `config_split` config files to see if a module is conditionally enabled.

#### Remove option

[](#remove-option)

You should be careful using the plugin using the `--remove` function. Always review the changes. There might be edge cases where the Composer package name does not match the Drupal module machine name. The script would identify the package as unused and therefore delete it.
