bookshop VS purgecss

It seems like CloudCannon has this with their open-source Bookshop component editor which can integrate with their hosted CMS.

The small user base, however, means there probably aren't other CMSs that use the same component representations or CMS live data bindings. This means while Bookshop components are portable between CMSs on paper, it's not in practice (e.g. you can't easily hook it up to another CMS with a visual editor like Wordpress's Gutenberg, Storyblok, etc.).

You can use a script to import your Hugo theme but this will only give you text editing functionality (markdown). For the visual editing experience you will need to convert your current theme to a cloudcannon theme using bookshop https://github.com/CloudCannon/bookshop

What's everybody using to make their javascript smaller nowadays? I used Grunt to minify my JS, CSS, and images many moons ago but I want to update my template to actually use bundle to deliver my assets since I'm creating a visual editor with CloudCannon.

Bookshop is a component development workflow for static websites. Bookshop defines a convention for building self-contained components in the templating languages supported by common SSGs. Using these conventions, Bookshop provides developer tooling that empowers you to integrate these components with your stack, build and browse UI components locally, and provide rich live editing experiences for your editors.

Sendit is a multipurpose Eleventy theme made with the Bootstrap CSS framework. The components have been converted to Bookshop. It’s the perfect starting point to see how CloudCannon works.

Sendit is a multipurpose Eleventy theme with a built-in blog, made with the Bootstrap CSS framework. The components have been converted to Bookshop. It’s the perfect starting point to see how CloudCannon’s Visual Editing and component-based page-building works, and how they can really speed up your blogging flow.

For users of our open-source component development workflow Bookshop, we’ve created a full reference guide for Bookshop on Eleventy and a Bookshop starter template. (The Sendit theme comes with Bookshop and a wide range of components already configured, too!)

The last place our improvements touch on is visual page building. You can now create new pages in the Visual Editor and edit the page’s default data right away — with no build needed. We also added an option to preview your new page without a build. To get a preview, you’ll need pages configured to render from your front matter using Data Bindings and Previews (we also recommend Bookshop here). Then you can use the new option new_preview_url to set your preview to another page’s output URL. The Visual Editor will load that set preview URL and use the Data Bindings and Previews to render your new page without saving. You can try this with our Megakit template.

Our SSGs through the ages series delves into the history of this space, and one of the trends that we’re seeing is larger and larger projects migrating to static websites, helped in part by the efficiency of static site generators like Hugo. We build many such sites for ourselves — the CloudCannon documentation is nothing to sneeze at — as well as for our Enterprise partners, and our customers build yet more on our platform every day. As this scale continues to increase, we find ourselves encountering new and interesting challenges. In the past we have released open-source tools for component-driven development, internationalization, pagination and portability. Now, we have our sights set on search.

Bookshop, one of our own open-source tools, allows the kind of component-based editing in SSGs such as Hugo, Jekyll, and Eleventy that — to put it bluntly — no one thought was possible. It’s an inflection point that will affect how these SSGs will be used in the coming years; think Elementor’s block-based builder for WordPress, with increasing support for additional platforms that don’t have rigid security and maintenance constraints. With Bookshop, developers can work with custom components on the SSG they choose, without being locked into a single platform.

As a starting point, Tailwind used to use PurgeCSS [0] but I'm not sure what they use now.

A similar question was already posted here but, I think looking at the raw html, we will be able to better determine the required css than what Purgecss does.

PurgeCss

Webpack minifies JS and CSS files by default when we build them in production mode. But it does not remove useless styles or classes. For this, you can use libraries like https://purgecss.com/ Do not forget to check the dependency, connect only the functionality that you use.

When I searched online I couldn't find an "industry standard" solution to this problem. What I ended up doing was using the popular tool PurgeCSS along with a quick Python script to generate the appropriate command. What the PurgeCSS tool does is search for all your HTML files, gather all the CSS classes used, and then "purge" all the unused ones from the CSS file. You just need to declare all the HTML files you have.

Skeleventy gives you a rock-solid foundation to build fast and accessible static websites, with clean, understated design. Features include a minimal build pipeline with Laravel Mix, the Sass-powered utility class generator Gorko, Purge CSS, an HTML minifier, SEO-friendly page metadata, image lazy loading, responsive navigation, and an XML sitemap.

You could look into using PurgeCSS and its cli?

Unable to get rid of unused styles. Importing components individually and setting styles in SASS can greatly simplify builds, but several common unused styles can't be deleted using PurgeCSS and analogues due to dynamic class names.

If you’re hand-crafting your CSS, using only the exact classes you need, you’ll still probably find that your CSS file size grows as your site does. But it doesn’t need to grow too much — you can remove unused classes with tools like Purge CSS .
