How toPurge unused CSS with TailwindCSS
TailwindCSS now comes with built-in support to purge the unused CSS, to use this creeate, if you don't already have, a tailwind.config.js
file in your project root, inside it export an object, using CommonJS syntax, and there define a property purge
with an array of the globs to use to find which files are using Tailwind.
module.exports = {
purge: [
"./src/**/*.{ts,tsx}"
],
};
In our example we are searching for any .ts
or .tsx
file inside any level of folders inside the src
folder in the root.
We could also disable it by passing false
instead of an array.
module.exports = {
purge: false
};
This is helpful if we are purging them using another tool.
