Options

Visit the CSS-PURGE website

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven’t used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you’re familiar with that process, you may install this plugin. Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-css-purge');

Example use cases

The most basic Gruntfile.js setup:

'use strict';
 
module.exports = function( grunt ) {
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-css-purge');
 
    grunt.initConfig({
        css_purge: {
            site: {
                options: {},
                src: 'site.css',
                dest: 'site.min.css',
            },
        },
    });
 
    grunt.registerTask('default', ['css_purge']);
};

For more infos about the options please look at the CSS-Purge website.

See below a couple different ways you can use the grunt task with various different files.

A single file:

default_options: {
    options: {},
    src: 'site.css',
    dest: 'site.min.css',
},

Multiple files:

multiple_files: {
    options: {},
    src: [
        'site1.css',
        'site2.css',
    ],
    dest: 'site.min.css',
},

Multiple files:

multiple_files2: {
    options: {},
    files: {
        'site.min.css': ['site1.css', 'site2.css'],
    },
},

Multiple files with a wildcard:

multiple_files3: {
    options: {},
    files: [{
        src: ['css/**/*.css'],
        dest: 'site.min.css',
    }],
},

Purge a folder as is into multiple files:

multiple_files4: {
    options: {},
    files: [{
        expand: true,
        cwd: "css/", // all *.css files inside the css/ folder will be purged
        src: "*.css",
        dest: "output/", //and placed into the output folder
        ext: ".min.css",
    }],
},

Purge a folder as is into multiple files while keeping sub-folder intact:

multiple_files5: {
    options: {},
    files: [{
        expand: true,
        cwd: "css/",
        src: "**/*.css", // all *.css files in the css/ and it's sub-folders will be purged
        dest: "output/", //and placed into the output folder
        ext: ".min.css",
    }],
},

Custom options:

custom_options: {
    options: {
        trim_comments: false,
        generate_report: true,
    },
    src: 'site.css',
    dest: 'site.min.css',
},
