# 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`
