inline-critical

Inline critical-path css and load the existing stylesheets asynchronously. Existing link tags will also be wrapped in <noscript> so the users with javscript disabled will see the site rendered normally.

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

$ npm install inline-critical

Example Usage

var inline = require('inline-critical');
var html = fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/index.html', 'utf8');
var critical = fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/critical.css', 'utf8');

var inlined = inline(html, critical);

Example Usage ignoring stylesheet per regex

var inline = require('inline-critical');
var html = fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/index.html', 'utf8');
var critical = fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/critical.css', 'utf8');

var inlined = inline(html, critical, {
  ignore: [/bootstrap/]
});

CLI

inline-critical works well with standard input. You can either pass in the html

cat index.html | inline-critical critical.css

or just flip things around

cat critical.css | inline-critical index.html

or pass in the fileas as an option

inline-critical critical.css index.html

without having to worry about the correct order

inline-critical index.html critical.css

Run inline-critical --help to see the list of options.

inline(html, styles, options?)

• html is the HTML you want to use to inline your critical styles, or any other styles
• styles are the styles you're looking to inline
• options is an optional configuration object
  • minify will minify the styles before inlining
  • extract will remove the inlined styles from any stylesheets referenced in the HTML
  • basePath will be used when extracting styles to find the files references by href attributes
  • ignore ignore matching stylesheets when inlining.
  • selector defines the element used by loadCSS as a reference for inlining.
