Webpack plugin to remove unused css.

Usage

With mini-css-extract-plugin

const path = require('path')
const glob = require('glob')
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin')
const PurgeCSSPlugin = require('purgecss-webpack-plugin')

const PATHS = {
  src: path.join(__dirname, 'src')
}

module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.js',
  output: {
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist')
  },
  optimization: {
    splitChunks: {
      cacheGroups: {
        styles: {
          name: 'styles',
          test: /\.css$/,
          chunks: 'all',
          enforce: true
        }
      }
    }
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [
          MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
          "css-loader"
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
      filename: "[name].css",
    }),
    new PurgeCSSPlugin({
      paths: glob.sync(`${PATHS.src}/**/*`,  { nodir: true }),
    }),
  ]
}

Multiple paths

If you need multiple paths use the npm package glob-all instead of glob, then you can use this syntax:

new PurgeCSSPlugin({
  paths: glob.sync([
    // ...
  ])
}),

to filter out directories see the glob-all documentation here.

Options

The options available in purgecss Configuration are also available in the webpack plugin with the exception of css and content.

  • paths

With the webpack plugin, you can specify the content that should be analyzed by purgecss with an array of filename. It can be html, pug, blade, ... files. You can use a module like glob or glob-all to easily get a list of files.

const PurgeCSSPlugin = require('purgecss-webpack-plugin')
const glob = require('glob')
const PATHS = {
  src: path.join(__dirname, 'src')
}

// In the webpack configuration
new PurgeCSSPlugin({
  paths: glob.sync(`${PATHS.src}/**/*`, { nodir: true })
})

If you want to regenerate the paths list on every compilation (e.g. with --watch), then you can also pass a function:

new PurgeCSSPlugin({
  paths: () => glob.sync(`${PATHS.src}/**/*`, { nodir: true })
})
  • only

You can specify entrypoints to the purgecss-webpack-plugin with the option only:

new PurgeCSSPlugin({
  paths: glob.sync(`${PATHS.src}/**/*`, { nodir: true }),
  only: ['bundle', 'vendor']
})
  • safelist

Similar as for the paths option, you also can define a function for this option:

function collectSafelist() {
  return {
    standard: ['safelisted', /^safelisted-/],
    deep: [/^safelisted-deep-/],
    greedy: [/^safelisted-greedy/]
  }
}

// In the webpack configuration
new PurgeCSSPlugin({
  safelist: collectSafelist
})
  • rejected

If true all removed selectors are added to the Stats Data as purged.
