Dependency Validator #

A tool to help you find missing, under-promoted, over-promoted, and unused dependencies.

Installation #
dart pub global activate dependency_validator

Usage #
dart pub global run dependency_validator
copied to clipboard
This will report any missing, under-promoted, over-promoted, and unused
dependencies. Any package that either provides an executable or a builder that
will be auto-applied via the dart build system will be considered
used even if it isn't imported.

Missing: When a dependency is used in the package but not declared in the pubspec.yaml
Under-promoted: When a dependency is used within lib/ but only declared as a dev_dependency.
Over-promoted: When a dependency is only used outside lib/ but declared as a dependency.
Unused: When a dependency is not used in the package but declared in the pubspec.yaml.

Configuration #
There may be packages that are intentionally depended on but not used, or there
may be directories that need to be ignored. You can statically configure these
things in a dart_dependency_validator.yaml file in the root of your package:
# dart_dependency_validator.yaml

# Set true if you allow pinned packages in your project.
allow_pins: true
# Exclude one or more paths from being scanned. Supports glob syntax.
exclude:
- "app/**"
# Ignore one or more packages.
ignore:
- analyzer

Note: Previously this configuration lived in the pubspec.yaml, but that
option was deprecated because pub publish warns about unrecognized keys.
