Our frontend stack is using react (webpack) and after one year, our codebase becomes quite huge. My company is a startup, you know as startup we might change our flow quite often, it leads to a lot of code are not used anymore and we want to clean them as much as possible. After spending few weeks to research, I found several approaches to attack that problem, therefore, I wrote this blog

What do you use to detect deadcode in your project?

Another option: tests code coverage. It won't tell you about the dead imports but if you look at the code coverage report and a file has a low coverage it's either an untested section or dead code :-)
agree, that could be one of approaches for deadcode 👍🏻
