Highlighted Features

1. Selective Attribute Removal: The plugin gives you the power to choose which attributes you want to remove in the production build of your React.js project. This feature is particularly useful for eliminating attributes like ' data-testid', which are only necessary during testing.

2. File Extension Specificity: Customize the plugin according to the specific needs of your project. You can define which file extensions should be considered for attribute removal. Currently, the plugin supports tsx and jsx extensions.

3. Granular Exclusions: Have some folders or files you want to exclude from the plugin's operation? No problem. This plugin allows for configurable exemptions, meaning you can specify certain files or folders to be ignored during the attribute removal process.

4. Clean Production Code: By strategically removing unnecessary attributes, this plugin ensures your production code is cleaner, leaner, and better performing. Say goodbye to bloated code and hello to optimized application performance.

Installation

You can install this plugin through npm:

npm install --save-dev react-remove-attr

Usage

Prerequisites

To use this plugin, you need to have a Vite project set up. Import and use the plugin in your vite.config.js or vite.config.ts file.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import removeAttr from "react-remove-attr"

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        removeAttr({
            extensions: [],
            attributes: []
        }),
        react(),
    ],
})

Examples

Example 1: Removing 'data-testid', 'data-timestamp' and 'ignored-element' attributes from '.tsx' and ".jsx" files

This configuration will remove 'data-testid', 'data-timestamp' and 'ignored-element' attributes from all '.tsx' and ".jsx" files in the production build.

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        removeAttr({
            extensions: [ "jsx", "tsx" ],
            attributes: [ 'data-testid', "data-timestamp", "ignored-element" ]
        }),
        react()
    ]
})

Example 2: Ignoring specific folders and files

This configuration will remove 'data-testid' attributes from '.tsx' files, with the exception of those in the 'src/tests' and 'src/utilities' folders, as well as the 'src/Home.tsx', ' src/components/Modal.tsx', and 'src/layouts/LayoutAuth.tsx' files.

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        removeAttr({
            extensions: [ "tsx" ],
            attributes: [ 'data-testid'],
            ignoreFolders: [ 'src/tests', "src/utilities" ],
            ignoreFiles: [ 'src/Home.tsx', 'src/components/Modal.tsx', "src/layouts/LayoutAuth.tsx" ]
        }),
        react()
    ]
})
