Asset Cleaner Package for Laravel

The Asset Cleaner package for Laravel safely detects and removes unused CSS, JS, and other assets from Laravel applications. It works seamlessly with Laravel, Vue, React, Inertia, and Livewire.

You use this package via the command line to detect and delete unused assets. When you delete assets, it will also create a backup during the deletion process:

php artisan assets:scan
 
# Preview deletion
php artisan assets:delete --dry-run
 
# Delete assets
php artisan assets:delete
 
# Backup created in `storage/asset-cleaner-backup/`

Under the hood, this package works by scanning asset directories, searches for references, only matches complete filenames with extensions, and safely deletes assets with timestamped backups.

#Main Features

• Smart Detection - Scans your entire Laravel project for unused assets
• Safe Deletion - Creates backups before removing any files
