gulp-css-usage

gulp-css-usage

A Gulp task which scans your JavaScript classes, including React JSX files support ( .jsx / .js ), your CSS files, and gives you a report of CSS coverage.
.i.e how many class names are needless and which are those class names.

In this way, you can tremendously accelerate the rendering time of your app by reducing network latency, loading and parsing time, as the CSS file is smaller with less properties to process and etc.

Install

npm install gulp-css-usage --save-dev

Usage

include the plug-in

// ECMAScript 5 code, using require()
var gulp = require('gulp');
var cssusage = require('gulp-css-usage').default;

// ECMAScript 6 code, using module import
import gulp from 'gulp';
import gulpCssUsage from 'gulp-css-usage';

using the plug-in

gulp.task('check-css-usage', function () {
  return gulp.src('/.../path/to/your/jsx/files/**/*.{jsx,js}')
    .pipe(gulpCssUsage({css: '/.../path/to/your/css/file/style.css', babylon:[]}));
});

options

css

mandatory Type: String

The file path to the CSS file which this plug-in will test.
Note: at the moment, supports only one CSS file so it is prefer to give here the compiled/concatenated styling file)

babylon

Type: Array:String Default: ['jsx', 'classProperties']

Array containing the plugins that you want to enable.
Since we're using babel 6.4+ and babylon to parse and extract the class names from the jsx files, you might need to add which plug-ins to enable to parse your code if you're using more ES6 or ES7 features.

Example: if you're using objectRestSpread capability which is not in ECMAScript2015 standards - you'll need to add it

For more available plug-ins, go to babel-babylon

Road map

• write results to file
• support of more CSS selectors, such as #,
• support multiple CSS files
• support of precompiled SCSS files as well
