plugins remove (coming Soon)

This command may not work as expected. A complete and stable version is coming soon.

Removes an installed Wheels CLI plugin.

Usage

wheels plugins remove <name> [--global] [--force]

Parameters

  • name - (Required) Plugin name to remove
  • --global - (Optional) Remove globally installed plugin
  • --force - (Optional) Force removal without confirmation

Description

The plugins remove command safely uninstalls a plugin from your Wheels application. It:

  • Checks for dependent plugins
  • Creates a backup (by default)
  • Removes plugin files
  • Cleans up configuration
  • Updates plugin registry

Examples

Basic plugin removal

wheels plugins remove wheels-vue-cli

Remove global plugin

wheels plugins remove wheels-docker --global

Force removal (skip confirmation)

wheels plugins remove wheels-testing --force

Remove global plugin without confirmation

wheels plugins remove wheels-cli-tools --global --force

Removal Process

  1. Dependency Check: Ensures no other plugins depend on this one
  2. Backup Creation: Saves plugin files to backup directory
  3. Deactivation: Disables plugin in application
  4. File Removal: Deletes plugin files and directories
  5. Cleanup: Removes configuration entries
  6. Verification: Confirms successful removal

Output

With confirmation prompt (default)

Are you sure you want to remove the plugin 'wheels-vue-cli'? (y/n): y
🗑️  Removing plugin: wheels-vue-cli...

✅ Plugin removed successfully

With force flag

🗑️  Removing plugin: wheels-vue-cli...

✅ Plugin removed successfully

Cancellation

Are you sure you want to remove the plugin 'wheels-vue-cli'? (y/n): n
Plugin removal cancelled.

Notes

  • The --force flag skips the confirmation prompt
  • Use --global to remove plugins installed globally
  • Use wheels plugins list to verify removal
  • Some plugins may require manual cleanup of configuration files
  • Restart your application after removing plugins that affect core functionality
