Is there an existing JS linter that detects dead files and exports?

Is there actually a way to statically detect truly “dead” or unused files in a codebase?
-
Yeah. You can get a list of all the JS files in a project. Then take a list of entry points, get all their transitive dependencies and mark them as "used". Then combine the dependency graph of all entry points, and compare the imports/exports.

I really hope this works with TypeScript.

I doubt that js linter can do it? I created the plugin which is based on webpack (via hooks) to detect dead code and unused fileshttps://github.com/MQuy/webpack-deadcode-plugin …

Nice! Why do your doubt a linter can do it? Any tool is capable of building a dependency graph

I actually think that my vscode using TS does this --- noticed a different colour of files as long as I don't include (import) them anywhere. In other words: yes I think it's either in vscode, tsc or eslint+tslintrules
