✂️ Prunode VS Code Extension

Enterprise Cross-Language Dead Code & Blast Radius Engine directly integrated into your editor.

Prunode brings the power of AST-based dead code detection right into your IDE. It highlights orphaned backend endpoints natively in your source files so you can prune them effortlessly before they ever hit production.

🌟 Key Features

• Real-time Dead Code Squiggles: Get immediate visual warnings (yellow squiggles) on backend endpoints that are never called by your frontend.
• Cross-Boundary Analysis: Works across React/Next.js/Vue frontends and Express/NestJS/FastAPI backends seamlessly.
• Hover Insights: Hover over a flagged route to see why it's marked as dead.
• Zero Configuration: Just install it in your full-stack repository, and it automatically scans the workspace.
• Component & Author Tracing: Detects exactly which component uses which route, and tells you who wrote the orphaned code.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install the extension.
2. Open a full-stack monorepo containing both a frontend and backend.
3. Open any backend API file (.ts, .js, .py).
4. Prunode will automatically flag orphaned routes with a yellow diagnostic warning.

⚙️ Configuration

Prunode works out-of-the-box for typical full-stack repositories by statically analyzing your code via AST.

If you have specific directories you want to exclude (like compiled output or third-party vendored code), add a prunode.json to the root of your repository:

{
  "ignore": ["node_modules", "dist", ".git", ".next", "coverage"]
}
