If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-unused-functions --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-unused-functions');

      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },

Usage Examples

Default Options

This setup will test 'myLib' for unused functions after calling myLib.foo() and myLib.bar(). Unused functions are truncated into a minified version.

grunt.initConfig({
  unused_functions: {
    options: {},
	emmet: {
		src: './temp/myLib.js',
		dest: './temp/myLib.min.js',
		append: '\n;GLOBAL.myLib=myLib;',
		prepare: function(){},
		test: function(){
			myLib.foo();
			myLib.bar();
		}
	}
  }
})
