# next-purgecss

Next.js + Purgecss = 🔥

[Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) makes it easy to create SSR and static React applications.

[Purgecss](https://www.purgecss.com/) helps you remove unused CSS.

## Installation

> 🏎 Check out the [**examples folder**](examples) to see examples for your specific setup.

### 1. Install the packages

`next-purgecss` requires one of the following **css next plugins** :

- [next-css](https://github.com/zeit/next-plugins/tree/master/packages/next-css)
- [next-less](https://github.com/zeit/next-plugins/tree/master/packages/next-less)
- [next-sass](https://github.com/zeit/next-plugins/tree/master/packages/next-sass)

Just pick the one that fits your needs. In the following steps, I will use `next-css` but it works the same for the other **css next plugins**.

For example, install `next-css` and `next-purgecss` :

```
yarn add @zeit/next-css next-purgecss --dev
```

or with npm :

```
npm install @zeit/next-css next-purgecss --save-dev
```

### 2. Edit `next.config.js`.

```js
// next.config.js
const withCss = require('@zeit/next-css')
const withPurgeCss = require('next-purgecss')

module.exports = withCss(withPurgeCss())
```

## Options

### `purgeCssEnabled`

By default, `next-purgecss` will always remove unused CSS, regardless of build environment. You can change that by defining a function for the `purgeCssEnabled` option. The `purgeCssEnabled` function receives two arguments:

| Argument | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `dev` | `Boolean` | `true` in development mode (running `next`) or `false` in production mode (running `next start`) |
| `isServer` | `Boolean` | `true` during server side compilation or `false` during client side compilation |

```js
// next.config.js
module.exports = withCss(
withPurgeCss({
purgeCssEnabled: ({ dev, isServer }) => (!dev && !isServer) // Only enable PurgeCSS for client-side production builds
})
)
```

### `purgeCssPaths`

By default, this plugin will scan `components` and `pages`
directories for classnames. You can change that by defining `purgeCssPaths`.

```js
// next.config.js
module.exports = withCss(
withPurgeCss({
purgeCssPaths: [
'pages/**/*',
'components/**/*',
'other-components/**/*' // also scan other-components folder
]
})
)
```

### `purgeCss`

You can pass custom options to
[Purgecss](https://github.com/FullHuman/purgecss-webpack-plugin) by defining
`purgeCss` object in your `next.config.js`.

```js
// next.config.js
module.exports = withCss(
withPurgeCss({
purgeCss: {
whitelist: () => ['my-custom-class']
}
})
)
```

The list of available options are documented in [`purgecss-webpack-plugin`
docs](https://github.com/FullHuman/purgecss-webpack-plugin#options).

> ⚠️ `purgeCss.paths` will overwrite `purgeCssPaths`
