Purgecss doesn't require too much work to set up, but there's some boilerplate involved. This package adds a purgeCss method to Laravel Mix, which installs Purgecss for you with a set of sensible defaults. Zero configuration for your average Laravel project!

let mix = require('laravel-mix');
require('laravel-mix-purgecss');

// ...

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
   .purgeCss();

The Purgecss config is inspired by Jonathan Reinink's config for Tailwind CSS.

Before you get started, make sure you're using laravel-mix version 2.1 or higher.

For version 2.0.* of laravel-mix please use version 1.* of this wrapper. This wrapper is not compatible with laravel-mix version 1.*.

You can install the package with yarn or npm:

yarn add laravel-mix-purgecss --dev

npm install laravel-mix-purgecss --save-dev

Then install the extension by requiring the module in your Mix configuration.

let mix = require('laravel-mix');
require('laravel-mix-purgecss');

// ...

Purgecss can then be enabled by calling .purgeCss() in your Mix chain.

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
   .purgeCss();

Custom options can be passed when calling Purgecss if necessary.

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
   .purgeCss({ /* My options */ });

The default configuration should be good enough for an average Laravel project. In short, all html, js, php & vue files in the app and resources folders will be scanned for selectors. Purgecss is only enabled in production.

For all configuration options, refer to the purgecss and purgecss-webpack-plugin docs. This Mix extension adds four more configuration options for your convenience.

let mix = require('laravel-mix');

require('laravel-mix-purgecss');

mix
    .js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
    .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')

    .purgeCss({
        enabled: true,

        // Your custom globs are merged with the default globs. If you need to
        // fully replace the globs, use the underlying `paths` option instead.
        globs: () => [
            path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules/simplemde/**/*.js'),
        ],

        extensions: ['html', 'js', 'php', 'vue'],

        // Other options are passed through to Purgecss
        whitelistPatterns: [/language/, /hljs/],

        whitelistPatternsChildren: [/^markdown$/],
    });

Your custom globs are merged with the default globs. If you need to fully replace the globs, use the underlying paths option instead.

let mix = require('laravel-mix');
const glob = require('glob-all');

require('laravel-mix-purgecss');

mix
    .js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
    .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')

    .purgeCss({
        // Will *only* look for views and simplemde classes
        paths: () => glob.sync([
            path.join(__dirname, 'resources/**/*.blade.php'),
            path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules/simplemde/**/*.js'),
        ]),
    });

Using Laravel Mix outside of a Laravel project? We've got you covered! Everything still works, but you might want to update the folders that are being scanned for selectors.

Laravel stores views and other assets in the resources folder, so that's where we assume you're keeping things. If you're in a different environment, like Jigsaw, you'll need to update the folders option.

mix.purgeCss({
    folders: ['source'],
});
