Added - Method Detection #

Complete method and function analysis - The biggest feature since v1.0!

What's New

• Top-level Functions - Detects unused global functions
• Instance Methods - Tracks method usage including inherited calls (classes and enums)
• Static Methods - Factory constructors and static method detection (classes and enums)
• Extension Methods - Full extension method tracking with semantic resolution
• Getters & Setters - Property accessor detection (top-level, class-level, and enum-level)
• Operators - Overloaded operator tracking (+, ==, [], etc.)
• Private Methods - Unused private method detection
• Override Detection - Correctly handles @override and inheritance chains
• Abstract Methods - Smart handling of abstract methods with implementations
• Lifecycle Methods - Auto-excludes Flutter lifecycle methods (initState, dispose, build, etc.)
• Enum Methods - Full support for enum instance methods, static methods, getters, and setters

Fixed #

• Singleton property access (e.g., Logger.instance.log()) now correctly tracked
• Inherited method calls via implicit this properly detected
• Abstract methods with @override implementations not flagged
• Property chains across inheritance hierarchies resolved correctly

Added #

• Part file analysis - Full support for part and part of directives with zero false positives
• Cross-part references - Correctly tracks class usage across part boundaries
• Code generation support - Works with Realm, Freezed, and other generators
• Warning system - Non-fatal warnings for part file issues with actionable suggestions
• 122 new tests - Comprehensive part file test coverage (208 total tests)

Fixed #

• Realm $ClassName models no longer falsely reported when using --include-generated
• Freezed generated classes correctly detected across part boundaries
• Generated code in part files properly analyzed

Initial Release #

Production-ready dead code analyzer for Dart & Flutter with 100% precision and 100% recall.

Core Features #

• Detects unused: Classes, abstract classes, mixins, enums, extensions
• Smart analysis: Tracks instantiation, type annotations, inheritance, generics, static methods
• Flexible ignoring: @keepUnused annotation, config file patterns, CLI exclusions
• Generated code aware: Auto-excludes *.g.dart, *.freezed.dart, *.realm.dart
• Fast: <5s for 10k LOC, <30s for 50k LOC
• Cross-platform: macOS, Linux, Windows
