Does anyone know of a tool that can run over a Typescript code base and suggest possibly unused public methods? What to automate the process of finding unused methods following code changes with the aim of minimal bundle size. (I don't fancy doing find for 500 that are marked public...)

Rename (without the refactoring tool) and recompile... 🤪 I wish I know some tool for this!

I have thought of switching them all private and then fixing the build for the ones that are actually required. Similar approach really 😝

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do... 🤷 It's always the trade off, what's faster: searching for the tool or just doing it manually... 😎 Thank you for visiting us at Tech Stack Nation!

I haven't used it myself, but knip might be a good option github.com/webpro-nl/knip

Have heard of that, will have to check if it can work on the class level.
