Composer-Cleanup-Plugin
A Composer plugin that removes unused files like tests and documentation from vendor packages to reduce deployment size.
What is Composer-Cleanup-Plugin?
Composer Cleanup Plugin is a PHP Composer plugin that automatically removes unused files—such as tests, documentation, and build configurations—from packages in the vendor directory. It solves the problem of bloated vendor folders, reducing disk space usage and improving deployment speeds, especially for FTP-based or storage-limited environments.
PHP developers and teams deploying applications via FTP or with constrained disk space, who need to optimize their Composer vendor directory for production.
Developers choose this plugin because it automates the cleanup process, integrates seamlessly with Composer workflows, and provides a rule-based system to safely remove only non-essential files without breaking dependencies.
