Request new plugins here

[webpro]

Please add one comment per plugin (please link to website/repo/docs), which others can then upvote using reactions like 👍 (not more comments).

The idea is that you can request/upvote plugins here. Contributors/me can implement them.

Please make sure the plugin isn't already available/listed on https://knip.dev/reference/plugins

Vike (#275)

React cosmos

Includes:

• Fixtures (docs, e.g.)
• Decorators (docs, e.g.)
• Plugins (docs, e.g.)

/cc @ovidiuch

NestJS, maybe?

It's very class based, so it would be focused on classMembers rules.

It would need to detect usage of class members by decorators, basically - e.g, something decorated with @ResolveField is used.

WebdriverIO (#464)

[justingrant]

Not sure if this is a plugin or core, but support for .mdx files. (used by Storybook and other docs generators)

[webpro]

@justingrant Please file a separate issue for this (as it's not a plugin).

[netner-d]

Serverless framework (1 183 585 downloads a week). It uses serverless.yml files for config and includes :

• Plugins (docs/eg)
• Serverless function definitions, so entries (docs/eg, under functions.*.handler field)

[webpro]

Please don't dump words here. It'll be a lot more convincing if you'd be more precise and provide one or two links to the library and/or configuration pages to avoid any ambiguity.

Yeah, absolutely sorry about that, I thought it was the method to collect people opinion as I saw similar comments above... I'm rectifying

wrangler
ideas: find wrangler.toml/json and set main as entrypoint, and exclude from unused dependencies

[webpro]

Just saying, for anyone interested, it's now more fun and easier than ever to write a plugin: https://knip.dev/guides/writing-a-plugin

[guy-borderless]

is deno compat a plugin? If so, what would it take? Deno uses the web standard import_map.json

[sifferhans]

Would it be possible to create a Nuxt plugin? Nuxt heavily uses auto-imports, so I imagine it could be harder to trace down what is being used.

Ionic (#604)

[bbeesley]

I was gonna request xo, but I've just opened a PR for it instead since I was interested in how they work.
#621

[webpro]

Plugins added recently:

• Wrangler - thanks @DaniFoldi!
• xo - thanks @bbeesley!
• improved Ionic/Capacitor - thanks @ptmkenny!

Expo (expo.dev)

lockfile linting

lockfile linting

lint lockfiles for improved security and trust policies

https://github.com/lirantal/lockfile-lint https://github.com/lirantal/lockfile-lint/blob/main/packages/lockfile-lint/README.md

I guess a file-based configuration for the lockfile-lint package potentially leaves e.g. lockfile-lint.js as an unused file. The lockfile-lint configuration doesn't seem to contain options that can reference other packages or files, so a plugin doesn't add much other than Knip users not having to add !lockfile-lint.js to project: [] (or alternatively not having to add lockfile-lint.js to ignore: []). Maybe Knip should have another more light-weight type of plugins that basically just ignores this type of configuration files.

(For completeness sake: the act of linting lockfiles is outside the scope of Knip, and apparently there's a package that does exactly that.)

Correct. That was the reason for creating this suggestion.

The lockfile-lint configuration doesn't seem to contain options that can reference other packages or files [..]

Also correct. It's just an configuration file. It references no other dependencies/extension/extends/plugins/etc...

[..] so a plugin doesn't add much other than Knip users not having to add !lockfile-lint.js to project: [] (or alternatively not having to add lockfile-lint.js to ignore: []).

Yes, adding it to the ignore setting is my current "work-around".

Maybe Knip should have another more light-weight type of plugins that basically just ignores this type of configuration files.

Lockfile-linting uses https://github.com/cosmiconfig/cosmiconfig (v8) for their config file, as do many other tooling. Maybe these config files can be ignored by default somehow.

Sadly, custom local plugins are not on the roadmap. But the ignore setting is sufficient in this case.

Keep up the great work! 🇳🇱

Knip v5.21.0 contains a few new plugins:

• lockfile-lint
• size-limit
• webdriver-io

Especially the latter is a bit rudimentary, feel free to open issues if you have any!
