Core Node Overview: lib-parse-imports-js

lib-parse-imports-js is an analytical tool for inspecting dependencies within a JavaScript and TypeScript codebase. It recognizes three different types of modules within your own codebase, the Node.js built-in modules, and npm modules, and categorizes them. It determines what modules are imported from a specified file or directory and tracks whether these modules are actively used. This provides insights into how your code is structured and where potential areas for optimization might be.

In addition, lib-parse-imports-js has the capability to differentiate between modules that are truly used in your code and those that are merely imported. This is valuable especially in large codebases, for determining which modules are actually utilized and which are unnecessary.

As a result, lib-parse-imports-js provides developers with the opportunity to optimize their code and clean up unnecessary imports. This enhances both the readability of the code and reduces potential error risk by reducing unnecessary dependencies.

The outputs of lib-parse-imports-js are divided into four categories: a list of all modules, unreferenced modules, unnecessary modules, and required modules. This gives you a pathway to better understand your codebase and identify unnecessary imports.
