# Unused i18n

Simplifies managing and cleaning up unused translation keys in localization files

## Features

- Analyzes source files to identify used and unused translation keys.
- Supports multiple scoped translation functions.
- Can display or remove unused translation keys.
- Configurable through a JSON, CJS, or JS config file.

## Installation

You can install `unused-i18n` via npm:

```sh

or

npm install -D unused-i18n
```

## Configuration

Create a unused-i18n.config.json or unused-i18n.config.js file in the root of your project. Here's an example configuration:

```cjs
module.exports = {
  paths: [
    {
      srcPath: ['src/pages/products'],
      localPath: 'src/pages/products/locales',
    },
  ],
  localesExtensions: 'ts',
  localesNames: 'en',
  scopedNames: ['scopedT', 'scopedTOne'],
  ignorePaths: ['src/pages/products/ignoreThisFolder'],
  excludeKey: ['someKey'],
}
```
