Laravel Trash Cleaner

Laravel Trash Cleaner is a lightweight and powerful utility package that helps you keep your Laravel application clean and performant by:

• 🧹 Deleting debug and log files (Clockwork, Debugbar).
• ⚡ Clearing compiled view caches and frontend build directories.
• 🛠️ Optionally rebuilding frontend assets using tools like npm, yarn, or pnpm.

🚀 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require omaralalwi/laravel-trash-cleaner

🔧 Publish Configuration

Optionally, publish the configuration file to customize paths and build settings:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-trash-cleaner

🧹 Usage

🔸 Clean Debug Files

Cleans out storage/debugbar and storage/clockwork folders with a progress bar:

php artisan trash:clean

🔸 Clean Asset Folders

Removes frontend-related build caches and compiled view files based on your config:

php artisan trash:clean-assets

🔸 Clean + Rebuild Frontend (Optional)

Use the --build flag to also run your frontend build steps (npm install && npm run build or equivalent):

php artisan trash:clean-assets --build

This is ideal for resetting the build process after switching branches, clearing corrupted caches, or deploying updates.

customize Assets paths & commnds

Note: You can fully customize the asset cleanup paths and build commands in the configuration file. For example, if you're using pnpm instead of the default npm, make sure to update the config key to 'package_manager' => 'pnpm'.

⏰ Scheduling Automatic Cleanup

To automate cleanup using Laravel's scheduler:

1. Enable it in your config:

'schedule' => true,
'frequency' => 'daily',

2. Ensure Laravel's scheduler is running via cron:

* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
