Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (fallow) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

fallow

The codebase analyzer for TypeScript and JavaScript, built in Rust.

Unused code, circular dependencies, code duplication, complexity hotspots, and architecture boundary violations. Found in seconds, not minutes. fallow analyzes your codebase for unused files, exports, dependencies, and types, detects circular dependencies, finds duplicated code blocks, surfaces complexity hotspots, and enforces architecture boundaries. 5-41x faster than knip v5 (2-18x faster than knip v6), 8-29x faster than jscpd for duplication detection, with no Node.js runtime dependency.

Installation

npm install -g fallow

This installs the fallow CLI plus the companion fallow-lsp and fallow-mcp binaries.

Usage

fallow                           # All analyses -- zero config, sub-second
fallow dead-code                 # Unused code only
fallow dupes                     # Duplication detection -- find copy-paste clones
fallow dupes --mode semantic     # Catch clones with renamed variables
fallow health                    # Complexity metrics -- cyclomatic + cognitive
fallow fix --dry-run             # Preview auto-removal of unused exports and deps

What it finds

Unused files -- not reachable from any entry point
Unused exports -- exported symbols never imported elsewhere
Unused types -- type aliases and interfaces never referenced
Unused dependencies -- packages in dependencies never imported
Unused devDependencies -- dev packages not referenced
Unused enum members -- enum values never referenced
Unused class members -- class methods and properties never referenced (tracks instance usage: const svc = new MyService(); svc.greet() counts greet as used)
Unresolved imports -- import specifiers that cannot be resolved
Unlisted dependencies -- imported packages missing from package.json
Duplicate exports -- same symbol exported from multiple modules
Circular dependencies -- import cycles in the module graph
Type-only dependencies -- production deps only used via import type

Code duplication

fallow dupes                       # Default: mild mode
fallow dupes --mode semantic       # Catch clones with renamed variables
fallow dupes --threshold 5         # Fail CI if duplication exceeds 5%
fallow dupes --save-baseline       # Save current duplication as baseline

4 detection modes (strict, mild, weak, semantic), clone family grouping with refactoring suggestions, baseline tracking, and cross-language TS/JS matching.

Framework support

Configuration

Create a config file in your project root, or run fallow init:

// .fallowrc.json
{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fallow-rs/fallow/main/schema.json",
  "entry": ["src/workers/*.ts", "scripts/*.ts"],
  "ignorePatterns": ["**/*.generated.ts"],
  "rules": {
    "unused-files": "error",
    "unused-exports": "warn",
    "unused-types": "off"
  }
}

Also supports TOML (fallow init --toml creates fallow.toml).
