Dynamic Configuration

TypeScript

Instead of knip.json, you can use a TypeScript file (knip.ts) for a dynamic configuration and type annotations:

TypeScript
JavaScript

import type { KnipConfig } from 'knip';

const config: KnipConfig = {
  entry: ['src/index.ts'],
  project: ['src/**/*.ts'],
};

export default config;

const config = {
  entry: ['src/index.ts'],
  project: ['src/**/*.ts'],
};

export default config;

Function

For special cases you can export an async function:

TypeScript
JavaScript

import type { KnipConfig } from 'knip';

const config = async (): Promise<KnipConfig> => {
  const items = await fetchRepoInfo();

  return {
    entry: ['src/index.ts', ...items],
    project: ['src/**/*.ts'],
  };
};

export default config;

const config = async () => ({
  entry: ['src/index.ts'],
  project: ['src/**/*.ts'],
});

export default config;
