A command-line wrapper using utilities from dart_dependency_checker for checking and fixing dependencies within Dart/Flutter packages.

Available commands

Command	Alias	Description
deps-used	du	Lists dependencies that are actively used in the project's codebase.
deps-unused	dun	Lists dependencies that are declared in the pubspec.yaml file but are not utilized in the project's codebase. Supports an instant fix during run.
transitive-use	tu	Lists dependencies that are used directly in the project without being explicitly declared in the pubspec.yaml file.
deps-add	da	Blindly adds specified dependencies to the pubspec.yaml file. Supports adding both main and dev dependencies, including those from path or git sources.
deps-update	dup	Updates provided but only existing main and dev dependencies in a pubspec.yaml file. Supports updating both main and dev dependencies, including those from path or git sources.
deps-sort	ds	Sorts the dependencies listed in the pubspec.yaml file, organizing them in a standardized order for better readability and maintenance.

Usage

Installation

dart pub global activate dart_dependency_checker_cli

Command deps-used

Lists dependencies that are actively used in the project's codebase.

Arguments:

-p, --path=<path>     Path to valid pubspec.yaml.
    --main-ignores    Comma separated list of main dependencies to be ignored.
    --dev-ignores     Comma separated list of dev dependencies to be ignored.
    --[no-]json       Output in json format.

Example:

ddc deps-used --main-ignores http,path_provider --json

Command deps-unused

Lists dependencies that are declared in the pubspec.yaml file but are not utilized in the project's codebase. Supports an instant fix during run.

Arguments:

-p, --path=<path>     Path to valid pubspec.yaml.
    --main-ignores    Comma separated list of main dependencies to be ignored.
    --dev-ignores     Comma separated list of dev dependencies to be ignored.
    --[no-]fix        Instant cleanup after checker run.
    --[no-]json       Output in json format.

Example:

ddc deps-unused --dev-ignores lints,build_runner --fix

Command transitive-use

Lists dependencies that are used directly in the project without being explicitly declared in the pubspec.yaml file.

Arguments:

-p, --path=<path>     Path to valid pubspec.yaml.
    --main-ignores    Comma separated list of main dependencies to be ignored.
    --dev-ignores     Comma separated list of dev dependencies to be ignored.
    --[no-]json       Output in json format.

Example:

ddc transitive-use --main-ignores async,meta

Command deps-add

Blindly adds specified dependencies to the pubspec.yaml file. Supports adding both main and dev dependencies, including those from path or git sources.

Arguments:

-p, --path=<path>    Path to valid pubspec.yaml.
    --main           Comma separated list of main dependencies.
    --dev            Comma separated list of dev dependencies.
    --[no-]json      Output in json format.

Example:

ddc deps-add --main equatable:2.0.7,meta:^1.3.0 --dev some_path_source:path=../some_path_dependency

Command deps-update

Updates provided but only existing main and dev dependencies in a pubspec.yaml file. Supports updating both main and dev dependencies, including those from path or git sources.

Arguments:

-p, --path=<path>    Path to valid pubspec.yaml.
    --main           Comma separated list of main dependencies.
    --dev            Comma separated list of dev dependencies.
    --[no-]json      Output in json format.

Example:

ddc deps-update --main equatable:2.0.7,meta:^1.3.0 --dev some_path_source:path=../some_path_dependency

Command deps-sort

Sorts the dependencies listed in the pubspec.yaml file, organizing them in a standardized order for better readability and maintenance.

Arguments:

-p, --path=<path>    Path to valid pubspec.yaml.
