Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

css-inline

css-inline is a high-performance library for inlining CSS into HTML 'style' attributes.

This library is designed for scenarios such as preparing HTML emails or embedding HTML into third-party web pages.

For instance, the library transforms HTML like this:

<html>
  <head>
    <style>h1 { color:blue; }</style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Big Text</h1>
  </body>
</html>

into:

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <h1 style="color:blue;">Big Text</h1>
  </body>
</html>
  • Uses reliable components from Mozilla's Servo project
  • Inlines CSS from style and link tags
  • Removes style and link tags
  • Resolves external stylesheets (including local files)
  • Optionally caches external stylesheets
  • Works on Linux, Windows, and macOS
  • Supports HTML5 & CSS3
  • Tested on Node.js 18 & 20.

Playground

If you'd like to try css-inline, you can check the WebAssembly-powered playground to see the results instantly.

Installation

Node.js

Install with npm:

npm i @css-inline/css-inline

Usage

import { inline } from "@css-inline/css-inline";

var inlined = inline(
  `
  <html>
    <head>
      <style>h1 { color:red }</style>
    </head>
    <body>
      <h1>Test</h1>
    </body>
  </html>
  `,
);
// Do something with the inlined HTML, e.g. send an email

Note that css-inline automatically adds missing html and body tags, so the output is a valid HTML document.

Alternatively, you can inline CSS into an HTML fragment, preserving the original structure:

import { inlineFragment } from "@css-inline/css-inline";

var inlined = inlineFragment(
  `
  <main>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    <section>
      <p>who am i</p>
    </section>
  </main>
  `,
  `
  p {
      color: red;
  }

  h1 {
      color: blue;
  }
  `
);
// HTML becomes this:
// <main>
// <h1 style="color: blue;">Hello</h1>
// <section>
// <p style="color: red;">who am i</p>
// </section>
// </main>

Configuration

  • inlineStyleTags. Specifies whether to inline CSS from "style" tags. Default: true
  • keepStyleTags. Specifies whether to keep "style" tags after inlining. Default: false
  • keepLinkTags. Specifies whether to keep "link" tags after inlining. Default: false
  • baseUrl. The base URL used to resolve relative URLs. If you'd like to load stylesheets from your filesystem, use the file:// scheme. Default: null
  • loadRemoteStylesheets. Specifies whether remote stylesheets should be loaded. Default: true
  • cache. Specifies caching options for external stylesheets (for example, {size: 5}). Default: null
  • extraCss. Extra CSS to be inlined. Default: null
  • preallocateNodeCapacity. Advanced. Preallocates capacity for HTML nodes during parsing. This can improve performance when you have an estimate of the number of nodes in your HTML document. Default: 32

You can also skip CSS inlining for an HTML tag by adding the data-css-inline="ignore" attribute to it:

<head>
    <style>h1 { color:blue; }</style>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- The tag below won't receive additional styles -->
    <h1 data-css-inline="ignore">Big Text</h1>
</body>
</html>

The data-css-inline="ignore" attribute also allows you to skip link and style tags:

<head>
  <!-- Styles below are ignored -->
  <style data-css-inline="ignore">h1 { color:blue; }</style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Big Text</h1>
</body>

Alternatively, you may keep style from being removed by using the data-css-inline="keep" attribute. This is useful if you want to keep @media queries for responsive emails in separate style tags:

<head>
  <!-- Styles below are not removed -->
  <style data-css-inline="keep">h1 { color:blue; }</style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Big Text</h1>
</body>

Such tags will be kept in the resulting HTML even if the keep_style_tags option is set to false.

You can also cache external stylesheets to avoid excessive network requests:

import { inline } from "@css-inline/css-inline";

var inlined = inline(
  `
  <html>
    <head>
      <link href="http://127.0.0.1:1234/external.css" rel="stylesheet">
      <style>h1 { color:red }</style>
    </head>
    <body>
      <h1>Test</h1>
    </body>
  </html>
  `,
  { cache: { size: 5 } },
);

Caching is disabled by default.

WebAssembly

css-inline also ships a WebAssembly module built with wasm-bindgen to run in browsers.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@css-inline/css-inline-wasm"></script>
<script>
    // Initialize the WASM module first
    cssInline.initWasm(fetch('https://unpkg.com/@css-inline/css-inline-wasm/index_bg.wasm'));

    const inlinedHtml = cssInline.inline(`<html>
  <head>
    <style>h1 { color:blue; }</style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Big Text</h1>
  </body>
</html>`);

    document.getElementById('output').src = inlinedHtml
</script>

NOTE: WASM module currently lacks support for fetching stylesheets from network or filesystem and caching.

Performance

css-inline is powered by efficient tooling from Mozilla's Servo project and significantly outperforms other JavaScript alternatives in terms of speed. Most of the time it achieves over a 3x speed advantage compared to the next fastest alternative.

Here is the performance comparison:

| | Size | css-inline 0.14.0 | css-inline-wasm 0.13.0 | juice 10.0.0 | inline-css 4.0.2 | |-------------|---------|---------------------|--------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------| | Basic | 230 B | 16.82 µs | 20.92 µs (1.24x) | 57.00 µs (3.38x) | 68.43 µs (4.06x) | | Realistic-1 | 8.58 KB | 351.74 µs | 452.28 µs (1.28x) | 859.10 µs (2.44x) | 1.04 ms (2.98x) | | Realistic-2 | 4.3 KB | 203.25 µs | 269.54 µs (1.32x) | 1.02 ms (5.04x) | 861.32 µs (4.23x) |

The "Basic" case was obtained from benchmarking the example from the Usage section.

The benchmarking code is available in the benches/bench.ts file. The benchmarks were conducted using the stable rustc 1.77.1 on Node.js v21.1.0.
