I know it has been asked before, but depcheck doesn't seem to work for me at all. It gives me a ton of false alerts aparts from having to configure it for "config-only" libs like babel, eslint etc.
What is your approach if you get a task like it? Is there any best practice you could recommend me?
Thank you!
