vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js 🤯
A Vite plugin that takes the CSS and adds it to the page through the JS. For those who want a single JS file.
The plugin can be configured to execute the CSS injection before or after your app code, and you can also provide a
custom id for the injected style element and other configurations that fulfill some particular cases.
How does it work
Essentially what it does is take all the CSS generated by the build process and add it via JavaScript. The CSS file is
therefore not generated and the declaration in the generated HTML file is also removed. You can also configure when the
CSS injection will be executed (before or after your app code).
A note for plugin-legacy users
At first the plugin supported generating the CSS injection code also in the legacy files generated by the plugin-legacy. Since the plugin-legacy injects the CSS code for different reasons, this plugin no longer has the plugin-legacy support code.
If the code of the plugin-legacy changes an update to this plugin may occur.
Installation
npm i vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js --save
Usage
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin(),
]
}
Configurations
When you add the plugin, you can provide a configuration object.
Below you can find all configuration parameters available.
topExecutionPriority (boolean)
The default behavior adds the injection of CSS before your bundle code. If you provide topExecutionPriority
equal
to: false
the code of injection will be added after the bundle code. This is an example:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({topExecutionPriority: false}),
]
}
styleId (string | function)
If you provide a string
for styleId
param, the code of injection will set the id
attribute of the style
element
with the value of the parameter provided. This is an example:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({styleId: "foo"}),
]
}
The output injected into the DOM will look like this example:
<head>
<style id="foo"></style>
</head>
If you provide a function
for styleId
param, it will run that function and return a string. It's especially useful if you use relativeCSSInjection
and want unique styleIds for each file.
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({styleId: () => `foo-${Math.random() * 100}`}),
]
}
<head>
<style id="foo-1234"></style>
<style id="foo-4321"></style>
</head>
preRenderCSSCode (function)
You can use the preRenderCSSCode
parameter to make specific changes to your CSS before it is printed in the output JS
file. This parameter takes the CSS code extracted from the build process and allows you to return the modified CSS code
to be used within the injection code.
This way, you can customize the CSS code without having to write additional code that runs during the execution of your
application.
This is an example:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({preRenderCSSCode: (cssCode) => cssCode}),
]
}
injectCode (function)
You can provide also a function for injectCode
param to customize the injection code used. The injectCode
callback
must return a string
(with valid JS code) and it's called with two arguments:
- cssCode (the
string
that contains all the css code that need to be injected via JavaScript) - options (a simple object that currently contains only the
styleId
param)
This is an example:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({
injectCode: (cssCode, options) => {
return `try{if(typeof document != 'undefined'){var elementStyle = document.createElement('style');elementStyle.appendChild(document.createTextNode(${cssCode}));document.head.appendChild(elementStyle);}}catch(e){console.error('vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js', e);}`
}
}),
]
}
injectCodeFunction (function)
If you prefer to specify the injectCode as a plain function you can use the injectCodeFunction
param.
The injectCodeFunction
function is a void function that will be called at runtime application with two arguments:
- cssCode (the
string
that contains all the css code that need to be injected via JavaScript) - options (a simple object that currently contains only the
styleId
param)
This is an example:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({
injectCodeFunction: function injectCodeCustomRunTimeFunction(cssCode, options) {
try {
if (typeof document != 'undefined') {
var elementStyle = document.createElement('style');
elementStyle.appendChild(document.createTextNode(${cssCode}));
document.head.appendChild(elementStyle);
}
} catch (e) {
console.error('vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js', e);
}
}
}),
]
}
jsAssetsFilterFunction (function)
The jsAssetsFilterFunction
parameter allows you to specify which JavaScript file(s) the CSS injection code should be
added to. This is useful when using a Vite configuration that exports multiple entry points in the building process. The
function takes in an OutputChunk object and should return true for the file(s) you wish to use as the host of the CSS
injection. If multiple files are specified, the CSS injection code will be added to all files returned as true.
Here is an example of how to use the jsAssetsFilterFunction
:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({
jsAssetsFilterFunction: function customJsAssetsfilterFunction(outputChunk) {
return outputChunk.fileName == 'index.js';
}
}),
]
}
In this example, the CSS injection code will only be added to the index.js
file. If you wish to add the code to multiple
files, you can specify them in the function:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({
jsAssetsFilterFunction: function customJsAssetsfilterFunction(outputChunk) {
return outputChunk.fileName == 'index.js' || outputChunk.fileName == 'subdir/main.js';
}
}),
]
}
This code will add the injection code to both index.js and main.js files.
Be aware that if you specified multiple files that the CSS can be doubled.
useStrictCSP (boolean)
The useStrictCSP
configuration option adds a nonce to style tags based
on <meta property="csp-nonce" content={{ nonce }} />
. See the following link for
more information.
This is an example:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({useStrictCSP: true}),
]
}
The tag <meta property="csp-nonce" content={{ nonce }} />
(nonce should be replaced with the value) must be present in
your html page. The content
value of that tag will be provided to the nonce
property of the style
element that
will be injected by our default injection code.
cssAssetsFilterFunction (function)
The cssAssetsFilterFunction
parameter allows you to specify a filter function that will enable you to exclude some output css assets.
This option is not applied to relativeCSSInjection
logic.
Here is an example of how to use the cssAssetsFilterFunction
:
import cssInjectedByJsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js'
export default {
plugins: [
cssInjectedByJsPlugin({
cssAssetsFilterFunction: function customCssAssetsFilterFunction(outputAsset) {
return outputAsset.fileName == 'font.css';
}
}),
]
}
relativeCSSInjection (boolean)
This feature is based on information provided by Vite. Since we can't control how Vite handles this information this means that there may be problems that may not be possible to fix them in this plugin.
The default behavior of this plugin takes all the CSS code of your application directly to the entrypoint generated.
The relativeCSSInjection
if configured to true
will inject the CSS code of every entrypoint to the relative importer.
Set this option to true
if you are using the multiple entry point option of Rollup.
Future release can have an advanced behavior where this options will be configured to true automatically by sniffing user configurations.
If a CSS code it's not injected inside some JS a warning will be showed.
To disable this warning set suppressUnusedCssWarning
to true
.
