Find leaking classes that you never use... and get rid of them.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require tomasvotruba/class-leak --dev
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Pass directories you want to check:

```
vendor/bin/class-leak check src
```

Make sure to exclude `/tests` directories, to keep reporting classes that are used in tests, but never used in the code-base.

Many types are excluded by default, as they're collected by framework magic, e.g. console command classes.

Exclude what you use
--------------------

[](#exclude-what-you-use)

Do you want to skip classes of certain type?

```
vendor/bin/class-leak check src --skip-type="App\\Contract\\SomeInterface"
```

What if your classes do no implement any type?

```
vendor/bin/class-leak check src --skip-suffix="Controller"
```

Do you want to skip classes using a specific attribute?

```
vendor/bin/class-leak check src --skip-attribute="App\\Attribute\\AsController"
```

Happy coding!
