Cleanup Script for Flutter & React Native Projects

Overview

This script recursively scans a given directory for Flutter and React Native projects and cleans them by removing unnecessary build artifacts and dependencies.

Features

• Detects Flutter projects by checking for pubspec.yaml and main*.dart inside the lib folder.
• Detects React Native projects by checking for package.json along with android or ios directories.
• Cleans Flutter projects using flutter clean.
• Cleans React Native projects by removing node_modules, ios/Pods, and build directories.
• Skips cleaning if the project is already clean.
• Recursively scans subdirectories if a project type is not detected at the current level.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the necessary tools installed:

• Flutter installed and available in PATH.
• Node.js and npm for React Native projects.

Usage

1. Make the script executable

Before running the script, you need to give it execute permissions:

chmod +x cleanup.sh

How It Works

The script starts at the provided root directory.

It checks each folder:

• If it's a Flutter project, it runs flutter clean.
• If it's a React Native project, it removes node_modules, ios/Pods, and build folders.
• If neither, it recursively checks subdirectories.

The process continues until all subdirectories are checked.

A message confirms the cleanup completion.

Cleaning Conditions

Before cleaning, the script checks if the project is already clean:

• A Flutter project is clean if it has no build/ or .dart_tool/ directories.
• A React Native project is clean if it has no node_modules/, ios/Pods/, or build directories.

If the project is already clean, the script skips it to save time.

Example

./cleanup.sh ~/Projects

This command will clean all Flutter and React Native projects inside the ~/Projects directory and its subdirectories.

Notes

• The script does not reinstall dependencies (flutter pub get or npm install). You may need to do this manually after cleaning.
• Ensure you have backup copies of important files before running the script.
