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 🙏

Readme

postcss-base64, a PostCSS plugin, replaces urls or values inside url() functions with their base64 encoded strings.

GitHub | NPM | @jelmerdemaat

Build Status bitHound Code bitHound Dependencies

Install

Install it from NPM:

npm install postcss-base64

Use

Load this plugin as a PostCSS module and give either or both of these options:

extensions

An array of extensions of files that have to be encoded, including the leading dot.

extensions: ['.svg']

pattern

A valid regex pattern to match against the string inside url() definitions to encode. Can not match file urls (use extensions for this).

pattern: /<svg.*<\/svg>/i

root

A root folder in which to search for the files. The path in the CSS file gets appended to this. Default: process.cwd() (current working directory).

root: 'any/path/to/files/'

prepend

String value to prepend before the outputted base64 code. Works only in combination with the pattern approach, for now.

prepend: 'data:image/svg+xml;base64,'

excludeAtFontFace

Boolean, defines wether @font-face rules are ignored. Default: true.

excludeAtFontFace: false

NodeJS

Using PostCSS in NodeJS, the approach would be as follows:

var opts = {
    extensions: ['.png', '.svg'], // Replaces png and svg files
    pattern: /<svg.*<\/svg>/i // Replaces inline <svg>...</svg> strings
};

output = postcss().use(base64(opts)).process(src).css;

Gulp

Using a build system like Gulp the approach would be as follows:

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    postcss = require('gulp-postcss'),
    base64 = require('postcss-base64');

gulp.task('css', function () {
  gulp.src('test.css')
      .pipe(postcss([
        base64({
          extensions: ['.svg']
        })
      ]))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('output/'));
});

More info

Only strings inside url(...) functions are replaced.

Partially replacing strings with the pattern option is possible. If the input CSS is:

.selector {
  background-image: url('<svg>...</svg>');
}

And your options are:

var opts = {
  pattern: /<svg.*<\/svg>/i,
  prepend: 'data:image/svg+xml;base64,'
}

The output will be:

.selector {
  background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4...');
}
