Composer Unused Laravel Package

icanhazstring/composer-unused

composer-unused detects and removes unused Composer dependencies in PHP/Laravel projects. It analyzes your codebase to find packages not referenced, reports what can be safely removed, and helps keep composer.json/lock lean and maintainable.

Product Decisions This Supports

  • Prioritizes technical debt reduction by identifying and removing unused dependencies, directly improving codebase health and long-term maintainability.
  • Supports "build vs buy" decisions by providing a proven, open-source solution instead of reinventing internal tooling for dependency audits.
  • Enables proactive dependency management in CI pipelines, preventing future bloat and ensuring only necessary packages are included in deployments.
  • Enhances security posture by minimizing the attack surface through reduced dependency count, critical for compliance and risk mitigation.

When to Consider This Package

  • Adopt for medium-to-large PHP projects with evolving dependency trees, especially during codebase audits, major releases, or when onboarding
