# PurgeCSS Sprockets

Reduce CSS file size by removing unused selectors with PurgeCSS in Rails asset pipeline.

## Installation

### Ruby Gem

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'purgecss_sprockets'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install purgecss_sprockets

### JS library

Install PurgeCSS in your Rails application if you don't have it:

$ yarn add purgecss

Run the config file generator:

$ rails g purgecss_sprockets:install

## Usage

This gem is intended to be used as a post processor step in your asset pipeline:

$ bundle exec rake assets:precompile

You can temporarily disable the processor or re-configure how PurgeCSS is called in an initializer:

`config/initializers/purgecss_sprockets.rb`:

```ruby
PurgecssSprockets.disabled = true # default: false
PurgecssSprockets.purgecss_cmd = "node node_modules/purgecss/bin/purgecss.js"
```

You can exclude some entrypoints by filling the `exclude_files` in the initializer:

```ruby
PurgecssSprockets.exclude_files = %w(
app/assets/stylesheets/admin.sass
)
```

You can configure PurgeCSS with the generated `purgecss.config.js`.

## Debug

- In an initializer, disable the PurgecssSprockets' post-processor.
- Run `rails assets:clobber assets:precompile`
- Open a Rails console and run this:
```ruby
json = JSON.parse(`node node_modules/purgecss/bin/purgecss.js --css public/assets/[your-digested-css-file].css --config purgecss.config.js --rejected`)[0]
```
- You can now check which selectors are rejected by PurgeCSS in `json['rejected']`.

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
