API

WebpackCritical(options)

options.context

Type: String
Default: process.cwd()

The directory context to search for your (built) stylesheet.

Note: In most cases, this should match your output.path value.

options.ignore

Type: String, RegExp, Function, or Array
Default: ['@font-face', /import/, /url\(/]

Patterns to ignore CSS styles or files. Refer to filter-css for more information.

options.stylesheet

Type: String
Default: null

The filename or filepath (relative to context) of a specific CSS stylesheet to use for inlining.

If no value is passed, the primary CSS asset is used (as determined by html-webpack-plugin). If you are extracting a stylesheet, this will be the correct value 99% of the time.
