css-minimizer-webpack-plugin
This plugin uses cssnano to optimize and minify your CSS.
Just like optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin but more accurate with source maps and assets using query string, allows to cache and works in parallel mode.
Getting Started
To begin, you'll need to install css-minimizer-webpack-plugin
:
$ npm install css-minimizer-webpack-plugin --save-dev
Then add the plugin to your webpack
configuration. For example:
webpack.config.js
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
const CssMinimizerPlugin = require('css-minimizer-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /.s?css$/,
use: [MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, 'css-loader', 'sass-loader'],
},
],
},
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
// For webpack@5 you can use the `...` syntax to extend existing minimizers (i.e. `terser-webpack-plugin`), uncomment the next line
// `...`,
new CssMinimizerPlugin(),
],
},
};
This will enable CSS optimization only in production mode.
If you want to run it also in development set the optimization.minimize
option to true
.
And run webpack
via your preferred method.
Options
test
Type: String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>
- default: /\.css(\?.*)?$/i
Test to match files against.
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
test: /\.foo\.css$/i,
}),
],
},
};
include
Type: String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>
Default: undefined
Files to include.

minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
include: /\/includes/,
}),
],
},
};
exclude
Type: String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>
Default: undefined
Files to exclude.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
exclude: /\/excludes/,
}),
],
},
};
cache
⚠ Ignored in webpack 5! Please use https://webpack.js.org/configuration/other-options/#cache.
Type: Boolean|String
Default: true
Enable file caching.
Default path to cache directory: node_modules/.cache/css-minimizer-webpack-plugin
.
ℹ️ If you use your own
minify
function please read theminify
section for cache invalidation correctly.
Boolean
Enable/disable file caching.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
cache: true,
}),
],
},
};
String
Enable file caching and set path to cache directory.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
cache: 'path/to/cache',
}),
],
},
};
cacheKeys
⚠ Ignored in webpack 5! Please use https://webpack.js.org/configuration/other-options/#cache.
Type: Function<(defaultCacheKeys, file) -> Object>
Default: defaultCacheKeys => defaultCacheKeys
Allows you to override default cache keys.
Default cache keys:
({
cssMinimizer: require('cssnano/package.json').version, // cssnano version
'css-minimizer-webpack-plugin': require('../package.json').version, // plugin version
'css-minimizer-webpack-plugin-options': this.options, // plugin options
path: compiler.outputPath ? `${compiler.outputPath}/${file}` : file, // asset path
hash: crypto.createHash('md4').update(input).digest('hex'), // source file hash
});
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
cache: true,
cacheKeys: (defaultCacheKeys, file) => {
defaultCacheKeys.myCacheKey = 'myCacheKeyValue';
return defaultCacheKeys;
},
}),
],
},
};
parallel
Type: Boolean|Number
Default: true
Use multi-process parallel running to improve the build speed.
Default number of concurrent runs: os.cpus().length - 1
.
ℹ️ Parallelization can speedup your build significantly and is therefore highly recommended.
Boolean
Enable/disable multi-process parallel running.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
parallel: true,
}),
],
},
};
Number
Enable multi-process parallel running and set number of concurrent runs.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
parallel: 4,
}),
],
},
};
sourceMap
Type: Boolean|Object
Default: false
(see below for details around devtool
value and SourceMapDevToolPlugin
plugin)
Enable (and configure) source map support. Use PostCss SourceMap options.
Default configuration when enabled: { inline: false }
.
Works only with source-map
, inline-source-map
, hidden-source-map
and nosources-source-map
values for the devtool
option.
Why? Because CSS support only these source map types.
The plugin respect the devtool
and using the SourceMapDevToolPlugin
plugin.
Using supported devtool
values enable source map generation.
Using SourceMapDevToolPlugin
with enabled the columns
option enables source map generation.
Use source maps to map error message locations to modules (this slows down the compilation).
If you use your own minify
function please read the minify
section for handling source maps correctly.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
}),
],
},
};
minify
Type: Function
Default: undefined
Allows you to override default minify function. By default plugin uses cssnano package. Useful for using and testing unpublished versions or forks.
⚠️ Always use
require
insideminify
function whenparallel
option enabled.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
minify: (data, inputMap, minimizerOptions) => {
const postcss = require('postcss');
const plugin = postcss.plugin(
'custom-plugin',
() => (css, result) => {
// custom code
}
);
const [[filename, input]] = Object.entries(data);
const postcssOptions = {
from: filename,
to: filename,
map: {
prev: inputMap,
},
};
return postcss([plugin])
.process(input, postcssOptions)
.then((result) => {
return {
css: result.css,
map: result.map,
warnings: result.warnings(),
};
});
},
}),
],
},
};
minimizerOptions
Type: Object
Default: { preset: 'default' }
Cssnano optimisations options.
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
minimizerOptions: {
preset: [
'default',
{
discardComments: { removeAll: true },
},
],
},
}),
],
},
};
processorOptions
Type: Object
Default: { to: assetName, from: assetName }
Allows to specify options processoptions
for the cssnano.
The parser
, stringifier
and syntax
can be either a function or a string indicating the module that will be imported.
⚠️ If a function is passed, the
parallel
option must be disabled..
import sugarss from 'sugarss';
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
parallel: false,
minimizerOptions: {
processorOptions: {
parser: sugarss,
},
},
}),
],
},
};
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
minimizerOptions: {
processorOptions: {
parser: 'sugarss',
},
},
}),
],
},
};
warningsFilter
Type: Function<(warning, file, source) -> Boolean>
Default: () => true
Allow to filter css-minimizer warnings (By default cssnano).
Return true
to keep the warning, a falsy value (false
/null
/undefined
) otherwise.
⚠️ The
source
argument will containundefined
if you don't use source maps.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
warningsFilter: (warning, file, source) => {
if (/Dropping unreachable code/i.test(warning)) {
return true;
}
if (/file\.css/i.test(file)) {
return true;
}
if (/source\.css/i.test(source)) {
return true;
}
return false;
},
}),
],
},
};
Examples
Use sourcemaps
Don't forget to enable sourceMap
options for all loaders.
const CssMinimizerPlugin = require('css-minimizer-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /.s?css$/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
{ loader: 'css-loader', options: { sourceMap: true } },
{ loader: 'sass-loader', options: { sourceMap: true } },
],
},
],
},
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
}),
],
},
};
Remove all comments
Remove all comments (including comments starting with /*!
).
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
minimizerOptions: {
preset: [
'default',
{
discardComments: { removeAll: true },
},
],
},
}),
],
},
};
Using custom minifier csso
By default plugin uses cssnano package. It is possible to use another minify function.
⚠️ Always use
require
insideminify
function whenparallel
option enabled.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
devtool: 'source-map',
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
minify: async (data, inputMap) => {
const csso = require('csso');
const sourcemap = require('source-map');
const [[filename, input]] = Object.entries(data);
const minifiedCss = csso.minify(input, {
filename: filename,
sourceMap: true,
});
if (inputMap) {
minifiedCss.map.applySourceMap(
new sourcemap.SourceMapConsumer(inputMap),
filename
);
}
return {
css: minifiedCss.css,
map: minifiedCss.map.toJSON(),
};
},
}),
],
},
};
Using custom minifier clean-css
By default plugin uses cssnano package. It is possible to use another minify function.
⚠️ Always use
require
insideminify
function whenparallel
option enabled.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
devtool: 'source-map',
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
new CssMinimizerPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
minify: async (data, inputMap) => {
// eslint-disable-next-line global-require
const CleanCSS = require('clean-css');
const [[filename, input]] = Object.entries(data);
const minifiedCss = await new CleanCSS({ sourceMap: true }).minify({
[filename]: {
styles: input,
sourceMap: inputMap,
},
});
return {
css: minifiedCss.styles,
map: minifiedCss.sourceMap.toJSON(),
warnings: minifiedCss.warnings,
};
},
}),
],
},
};
