# Remove Unused Imports
## Description
VS Code extension to remove unused ES6 imports inside JavaScript and TypeScript files (`.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts` and `.tsx` extensions) without changing the current order, as opposed to the built-in VS Code "Organize Imports" functionality.
## Usage
- **Open the Command Palette** (`Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P`)
- Search for **Remove Unused Imports**
### Run on save
The command can be executed every time a file is saved via Code Actions. To enable it, set `source.removeUnusedImports` to `always`, `explicit` or `never` inside `editor.codeActionsOnSave` in your VSCode settings:
```json
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.removeUnusedImports": "explicit" // "always", "never"
}
```
### Preserve specified import identifiers
The extension also supports preserving specified import identifiers, even if they are not used. To enable it, set `removeUnusedImports.preserve` to an array of import identifiers in your VSCode settings:
```json
"removeUnusedImports.preserve": ["React", "ReactDOM"]
```
### Keybinding
This extension **does not provide any keybinding** for the command. You can assign your own custom keybinding for it by pressing the cog icon that appears to the right of the command name in the Command Palette.
## Known issues
The format of the document may change after running this command. For instance, final semicolons are added to the modified imports.
## Acknowledgments
This extension is inspired by [vsc-sort-imports](https://github.com/amatiasq/vsc-sort-imports).
