Ability to whitelist whole CSS files

[dmt0]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm importing an NPM module that includes a CSS file. A lot of the classes in that file are caught by PurgeCSS.

Describe the solution you'd like
A configuration option to whitelist entire files by path.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Fishing out classes one by one.
• Adding all JS files from the NPM module to content - didn't work.

I was also looking for this! In my case the issue was that I want to exclude all Datatables (+ plugins) styles from the purging, as it would be impossible to manually find and safelist them one by one.

I also tried wrapping the imports like:

/* purgecss start ignore */
@import "~datatables.net/...";
/* purgecss end ignore */ 

But that also doesn't work 😢 Anybody has suggestions?

Hi @dmt0 and @aleesaan , have you any workaround solution for this I'm using next.js module css and don't want to remove them at all.

[dmt0]

No workarounds so far. This package is unusable to me unfortunately.

@dmt0 have you used any other package for the same functionality

I made it work, with Laravel 10 + Vite 4.4 + PurgeCss, with a workaround...
First...
/* purgecss start ignore */
didnt work at all, so i have to use
/*! purgecss start ignore */
Second, it didnt work for me on full @import
/*! purgecss start ignore */ @import 'datatables.net-dt/css/jquery.dataTables.css'; ...
so... i copied the .css file to my resource dir, and include the start/stop inside the .css file, and then just import it
@import 'jquery.dataTables-PurgeIgnored.css'; ...
