Automatically cleaning up unused server actions

Wappler General Need Help
1

As the project grows, it becomes messier…
The best would be to keep things clean, but alas, not always possible.

I’m thinking to write a script to find unused server actions and delete them.

But I’d like some input please!

  1. What should I write the script in? (Thinking python, never worked with it tho)
  2. We can detect unused server actions if:
    A: They’re not included in any page (As server connect)
    B: They’re not included as any library action
    C: They’re not marked as a server action that is meant to be ran directly (we have a bunch of dev tools like that that we just run in the browser)

Do you think this is complete?

You planning node only or all server platforms. node will need a check on schedulers also

Node. good point :slight_smile:

I will just share the script here and then others can adjust it to their needs

-Maybe, an exclude list per target, dev, stag and prod., . Because some server actions works in test enviroment only, they are not upload in prod.
-Some server actions are used only as server side data in Frontend, so, not necessary are included as server connect in Frontend.

Great idea! Look forward to it. One thing I would request is that it produce a list that the server connects can be (de)selected from prior to deleting. I have a few about that I use for testing various things that aren’t connected to anything else so wouldn’t want those to auto delete!

Great idea! Another place to check for any server actions that are in use will be the Server Connect Routes.
