After a long while of trying to find the scripts that purge css from Svelte files, I finally just wrote my own script.
I have this problem because I am building individual Svelte components with Tailwindcss, and when I svelte-package
them up, ALL the css for the whole library goes in each component, leading to massive amounts of unused css.
// component.svelte
<style lang="postcss">
</style>
// postcss.config.js
plugins: {
'postcss-import': {}, // so we can use: <style lang="postcss"> @import '../app.css' </style>
tailwindcss: {},
autoprefixer: {}
}
// svelte.config.js
// puts all tailwindcss in each component :/
preprocess: [
preprocess({
// postcss: true,
postcss: {
configFilePath: path.resolve(__dirname, './postcss.config.js'),
prependData: `@import '${path.resolve('./src/utilities.css')}';`
}
})
],
The above setup is great for packaging individual components, except all the unused css...
Most of the solutions on the internet use @fullhuman/postcss-purgecss
but I just couldn't get it to work on .svelte
files, no matter what I did.
Then I realized that with a bit of regex
I could probably just parse through the file, and remove any css that didn't match.
Here's the code:
// purge.js
// iterate through all .svelte files in ./package directory
import path from 'path';
import fs from 'fs';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import { dirname } from 'path';
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);
const packageDir = path.resolve(__dirname, './package');
const files = fs.readdirSync(packageDir);
const svelteFiles = files.filter((file) => file.endsWith('.svelte'));
svelteFiles.forEach((file) => {
// remove all unused css in <style> tags from this svelte file
const filePath = path.resolve(packageDir, file);
const fileContents = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8');
const styleTagRegex = /<style[^]+?<\/style>/gi;
const styleTagContents = fileContents.match(styleTagRegex);
// get rest of file contents
const restOfFile = fileContents.replace(styleTagRegex, '');
// skip over any components without style
if (!styleTagContents) return;
// get content between <style> tags
const styleTagContentRegex = /<style[^]+?<\/style>/i;
const styleTagContent = styleTagContents[0].match(styleTagContentRegex)[0];
// console.log('styleTagContent', styleTagContent);
// regex parse out each class statement, keep the leading . and the {} block
const classRegex = /\.([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)[^]+?{[^]+?}/gi;
const classStatements = styleTagContent.match(classRegex);
// for each class Statement NoNewLines
// check if it is used in any of the svelte files classes
// if not, remove it from the style tag
// if so, keep it in the style tag
// write the new style tag to the file
const keep = classStatements.map((statement) => {
const className = statement.match(/\.([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/i)[1];
// check if the className appears as a whole word in between quotes of class=""
// exclude hyphenated matches
// only match on whole words surrounded by spaces or quotes
const regex = new RegExp(`class="[^]*?(\\s|")${className}(\\s|")[^]*?"`, 'gi');
return restOfFile.match(regex) ? statement : '';
});
// join keep together
const newStyleTagContent = keep.join('');
// wrap in <style> tags
const newStyleTagBlock = `<style>${newStyleTagContent}</style>`;
// replace old style tag with new style tag
const newFileContents = fileContents.replace(styleTagContent, newStyleTagBlock);
// write new file contents to file
fs.writeFileSync(filePath, newFileContents);
});
Hope that helps you too!
