Purgecss wrapper for Laravel Mix

Purgecss doesn't require too much work to set up, but there's some boilerplate involved. This package adds a purgeCss method to Laravel Mix, which installs Purgecss for you with a set of sensible defaults. Zero configuration for your average Laravel project!

let mix = require('laravel-mix');
require('laravel-mix-purgecss')();

// ...

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

The Purgecss config is inspired by Jonathan Reinink's config for Tailwind CSS.

Before you get started, make sure you're at least using version 2 of laravel-mix. This package isn't compatible with lower versions!

You can install the package with yarn or npm:

yarn add laravel-mix-purgecss

npm install laravel-mix-purgecss

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

let mix = require('laravel-mix');
require('laravel-mix-purgecss')();

// ...

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

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

Custom options can be passed when calling Purgecss if necessary.

mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
   .purgeCss({ /* My options */ });

The default configuration should be good enough for an average Laravel project. In short, all html, js, php & vue files in the app and resources folders will be scanned for selectors. Purgecss is only enabled in production.

For all configuration options, refer to the https://github.com/FullHuman/purgecss and https://github.com/FullHuman/purgecss-webpack-plugin docs. This Mix extension adds three more configuration options for your convenience.

Note that if you override extensions, the defaults will be lost! Your custom globs are merged with the default globs. If you need to fully replace the globs, use the underlying paths option instead.

let mix = require('laravel-mix');
let purceCss = require('laravel-mix-purgecss');

mix
    .js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
    .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')

    .purgeCss({
        enabled: true,

        // Your custom globs are merged with the default globs. If you need to fully replace
        // the globs, use the underlying `paths` option instead.
        globs: [
            path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules/simplemde/**/*.js'),
        ],

        extensions: ['html', 'js', 'php', 'vue'],

        // Other options are passed through to Purgecss
        whitelistPatterns: [/language/, /hljs/],
    });
