PostCSS plugin to rebase or inline on url().
PostCSS Smart Asset
PostCSS plugin to rebase, inline or copy on url().
Installation
$ npm install postcss-smart-asset
Changes over PostCSS-URL
Changed output of relative URLs so that the harmonize with Webpack. This mainly means that in Webpack world it is pretty common to use relative URLs even inside CSS e.g. use url(./myfile.gif) instead of url(myfile.gif). The last syntax actually lead to some issue during Webpack processing as Webpack would assume that you are referencing an npm package called myfile.gif which is probably not what you thought to do.
Converted whole test suite from Mocha + Chai to Jest. Made whole test suite asynchronous.
Migrated source code to EcmaScript modules (ESM). Refactored internal structure.
Replaced custom eslint definitions with effective linting rules.
Restructured tests to be side-by-side with implementation code.
Use of Preppy instead of custom release logic. Offering a ESM bundle now as well.
Basic example - rebase
// dependencies
const fs = require("fs")
const postcss = require("postcss")
const smartAsset = require("postcss-smart-asset")
// css to be processed
const css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")
// process css
const output = postcss()
.use(smartAsset({
url: "rebase"
}))
.process(css, {
from: "src/stylesheet/index.css",
to: "dist/index.css"
})
before:
.element {
background: url('images/sprite.png');
}
after:
.element {
/* rebasing path by new destination */
background: url('../src/stylesheet/images/sprite.png');
}
Inline
const options = {
url: 'inline'
};
postcss()
.use(smartAsset(options))
.process(css, {
from: "src/stylesheet/index.css",
to: "dist/index.css"
})
before:
.element {
background: url('/images/sprite.png');
filter: url('/images/circle.svg');
}
after:
.element {
/* inlined png as base64 */
background: url('data:image/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAJH/AP///wAAAP///wAAACH/C0FET0JFOklSMS4');
/* inlined svg as encodeURIComponent */
filter: url('data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%2F%3E');
}
Copy
const options = {
url: 'copy',
// base path to search assets from
basePath: path.resolve('node_modules/bootstrap'),
// dir to copy assets
assetsPath: 'img',
// using hash names for assets (generates from asset content)
useHash: true
};
postcss()
.use(smartAsset(options))
.process(css, {
from: "src/stylesheet/index.css",
to: "dist/index.css"
})
before:
.element {
background: url('/images/sprite.png');
}
after:
.element {
/* copy 'sprite.png' from 'node_modules/bootstrap/images/' to 'dist/img/' */
/* and rename it by hash function */
background: url('img/a2ds3kfu.png');
}
Muiltiple options
process first matched option by default.
multi: true in custom will processing with other options
const options = [
{ filter: '**/assets/copy/*.png', url: 'copy', assetsPath: 'img', useHash: true },
{ filter: '**/assets/inline/*.svg', url: 'inline' },
{ filter: '**/assets/**/*.gif', url: 'rebase' },
// using custom function to build url
{ filter: 'cdn/**/*', url: (asset) => `https://cdn.url/${asset.url}` }
];
postcss().use(smartAsset(options))
Checkout tests for examples.
Options combinations
rebase - default
inlinebasePath - path or array of paths to search assets (relative to from, or absolute)
encodeType - base64, encodeURI, encodeURIComponent
includeUriFragment - include the fragment identifer at the end of the URI
maxSize - file size in kbytes
fallback - copy or custom function for files > maxSize
ignoreFragmentWarning - do not warn when an SVG URL with a fragment is inlined
optimizeSvgEncode - reduce size of inlined svg (IE9+, Android 3+)
copybasePath - path or array of paths to search assets (relative to from, or absolute)
assetsPath - directory to copy assets (relative to to or absolute)
useHash - use content hash of file for naming
keepName - use filename~hash as filename (assuming useHash is also true)
hashOptions - options for hash function
custom {Function}multi - processing with other options
Options list
url
rebase - (default)
Allow you to fix url() according to postcss to and/or from options (rebase to to first if available, otherwise from or process.cwd()).
inline
Allow you to inline assets using base64 encoding. Can use postcss from option to find ressources.
copy
Allow you to copy and rebase assets according to postcss to, assetsPath and from options (assetsPath is relative to the option to).
url: {Function}
Custom transform function. Takes following arguments:
asseturl - original url
pathname - url pathname (url without search or hash)
absolutePath - absolute path to asset
relativePath - current relative path to asset
search - search from url, ex. ?query=1 from ./image.png?query=1
hash - hash from url, ex. #spriteLink from ../asset.svg#spriteLink
dirfrom - PostCSS option from
to - PostCSS option to
file - decl file path
options - plugin options
decl - related postcss declaration object
warn - wrapped function result.warn for current decl
result – PostCSS result object
And should return the transformed url.
You can use this option to adjust urls for CDN.
maxSize
(default: 14)
Specify the maximum file size to inline (in kbytes)
ignoreFragmentWarning
(default: false)
Do not warn when an SVG URL with a fragment is inlined.
PostCSS-URL does not support partial inlining. The entire SVG file will be inlined. By default a warning will be issued when this occurs.
NOTE: Only files less than the maximum size will be inlined.
filter
A regular expression e.g. /\.svg$/, a minimatch string e.g. '**/*.svg' or a custom filter function to determine wether a file should be inlined.
fallback
The url fallback method to use if max size is exceeded or url contains a hash.
Custom transform functions are supported.
includeUriFragment
(default: false)
Specifies whether the URL's fragment identifer value, if present, will be added
to the inlined data URI.
basePath
Specify the base path or list of base paths where to search images from
assetsPath
(default: false)
If you specify an assetsPath, the assets files will be copied in that
destination
useHash
(default: false)
If set to true the copy method is going to rename the path of the files by a hash name
keepName
(default: false)
If set to true and useHash is also true, the copy method appends the hash to the original file name instead of replacing it
hashOptions
(default: {})
Any options supported by the underlying asset-hash library. Uses defaults of this library by default.
