# MkDocs Exclude Unused (orphaned) Files

A simple plugin for excluding files from being included in the mkdocs output if they are not referenced on other pages.

## Installation

![pypi current version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/mkdocs-exclude-unused-files?style=flat-square)

Run `pip install --upgrade mkdocs-exclude-unused-files`

## Configuration

Basic Configuration in the `mkdocs.yml` file:

```yaml
plugins:
- exclude-unused-files:
file_types_to_check: ["png", "jpg", "jpeg", "gif"]
enabled: !ENV [CI, false]
```

This configuration will exclude all files from the final mkdocs output that has one of the configured file endings and are not referenced/linked to other pages.

### Default types

The plugin uses a default set of file types:

`png, jpg, jpeg, gif, pdf, ico, drawio, tif, tiff, zip, tar.gz, rar, ogg, mp3, mp4, vtt , ogv, mov, svg, pot, potx, ppsx, ppt, pptx, xlt, xltx, xls, xlsx, doc, docx, dot, dotx, vst, vstx, vsd, vsdx`

### All Configuration Options

| Setting | Default | Description |
|------------------------------|---------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| enabled | `True` | Whether the plugin is enabled when building your project. If you want to switch the plugin off, e.g. for local builds, use an [environment variables](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#environment-variables). |
| enabled_on_serve | `False` | Whether the plugin is enabled when serving your project. It does not apply if `enabled` is False. It's just to explicitly enable the plugin during mkdocs serve. |
| dry_run | `False` | Only print output into the command line and don't actually delete anything |
| silent | `False` | Don't print out the found orphan files in the build process |
| force_delete | `False` | By default the plugin only deletes files that are actually in the configured mkdocs output directory (site_dir). If you want to delete these files anyways due to your setup, enable this flag |
| file_types_to_check | `[]` | Only check these file types for their usage and delete them if necessary. |
| file_types_override_mode | `replace` | Behavior of `file_types_to_check` towards default types: `replace` - uses only defined types, `append` - adds additional types to default list, `remove` - removes specified types from default. |
| file_names_to_never_remove | `["favicon"]` | Files with these names will never get deleted, even if no usage is detected. |
| folders_to_never_remove_from | `["assets"]` | Files in these folders will never get deleted, even if no usage is detected. Useful for always including specific static files. |
| file_name_suffixes_to_trim | `["#only-light", "#only-dark"]` | Trim-away suffixes in this list when checking if a file-name is used. This is used for ignoring material-mkdoc's color-palette-toggle instructions (see [Issue-4](https://github.com/JonasDoesThings/mkdocs-exclude-unused-files/issues/4)). |
