PurgeCSS wrapper for Laravel Mix

This package adds a purgeCss option to Laravel Mix, which installs PurgeCSS for you with a set of sensible defaults for Laravel applications.

1const mix = require('laravel-mix');
2require('laravel-mix-purgecss');
3
4// ...
5
6mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
7   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
8   .purgeCss();

Installation

Before you get started, make sure you're using laravel-mix version 5.0.0 or higher.

You can install the package with yarn or npm:

1yarn add laravel-mix-purgecss --dev

1npm install laravel-mix-purgecss --save-dev

Then install the extension by requiring the module in your Mix configuration.

1const mix = require('laravel-mix');
2require('laravel-mix-purgecss');
3
4// ...

PurgeCSS can be enabled by calling .purgeCss() in your Mix chain.

1mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
2   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
3   .purgeCss();

By default, PurgeCSS only works when building assets for production. You can override this behaviour by specifying the enabled option.

1mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
2   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
3   .purgeCss({
4       enabled: true,
5   });

Important notice for mix.postCss or postcss.config.js users

When you use mix.postCss() or a seperate postcss.config.js file, Mix overrides all other PostCSS plugins, including the PurgeCSS instance added by this plugin.

To work around this issue, either:

1. Include your PostCSS plugins with mix.options()

1  const mix = require('laravel-mix');
2  require('laravel-mix-purgecss');
3
4  mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
5-     .postCss('resources/sass/app.css', 'public/css', [
6-         require('tailwindcss')(),
7-     ])
8+     .postCss('resources/sass/app.css', 'public/css')
9+     .options({
10+         postCss: [require('tailwindcss')]
11+     })
12      .purgeCss();

2. Don't use this package, and use postcss-purgecss-laravel instead

1  const mix = require('laravel-mix');
2- require('laravel-mix-purgecss');
3
4  mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
5      .postCss('resources/sass/app.css', 'public/css', [
6          require('tailwindcss')(),
7+         require('postcss-purgecss-laravel')({ /* ... */ }),
8      ])
9      .purgeCss();

PurgeCSS customization

Custom options can be passed when calling PurgeCSS if necessary. Visit PurgeCSS' docs to learn more about the available options.

1mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
2   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
3   .purgeCss({
4       content: [path.join(__dirname, 'vendor/spatie/menu/**/*.php')],
5       safelist: { deep: [/hljs/] },
6   });

Passing options will override the package defaults. If you want to extend the package defaults, wrap them in an extend object.

1mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
2   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
3   .purgeCss({
4       extend: {
5           content: [path.join(__dirname, 'vendor/spatie/menu/**/*.php')],
6           safelist: { deep: [/hljs/] },
7       },
8   });

This package uses postcss-purgecss-laravel under the hood, which has the following defaults:

1const defaultConfig = {
2    content: [
3        "app/**/*.php",
4        "resources/**/*.html",
5        "resources/**/*.js",
6        "resources/**/*.jsx",
7        "resources/**/*.ts",
8        "resources/**/*.tsx",
9        "resources/**/*.php",
10        "resources/**/*.vue",
11        "resources/**/*.twig",
12    ],
13    defaultExtractor: (content) => content.match(/[\w-/.:]+(?<!:)/g) || [],
14    safelist: { standard: [/-active$/, /-enter$/, /-leave-to$/, /show$/] },
15}
