npmnuke 0.1.2

Remove all node_modules folders from a directory

# npmnuke 💥

> A simple script to remove all node_modules folders in a directory

## Description

My PC had a lot of old web projects that I didn’t use anymore, but they were taking up a lot of space. Manually deleting all the node_modules folders was a pain, so I wrote this script to do it for me.

By defaul script will ignore folders that start with a dot (.git, .vscode, etc.) and folders that contain a .npmnukeignore file. You can also specify your own ignore file with the –ignore-file option or modify .nmpnukeignore in your home directory.

## Future plans

• [ ] Add new UI using https://github.com/Textualize/textual

• [ ] Somehow make it detect monorepos and combine search results for them

• [ ] Add last modified date to search results

• [ ] Add option to open search results in file manager

## Installation

`bash pip install npmnuke `

## Usage

`bash npmnuke [directory] (options) `

## Options

• –dry-run - Show which folders would be deleted without actually deleting them

• –ignore-file - Path to the ignore file, by default .npmnukeignore in home directory is used

• –disable-ignore - Do not use the .npmnukeignore file when scanning for node_modules folders.

• –ignore-dot [true | false] - Ignore dot folders (.vscode/ .git/ etc.), by default True

• –verbose - Show verbose output

• –help - Show help
