vite-plugin-tailwind-purgecss

Vite plugin that purges unused Tailwind CSS classes from the production bundle. Current stable version is 0.3.5, released with regular patches. The plugin targets only Tailwind-specific classes (not all CSS) and works with Tailwind v3 and component libraries like Skeleton, Flowbite, or shadcn-ui. It analyzes the Vite module graph to extract used selectors and passes them to PurgeCSS, reducing CSS size significantly (e.g., from 105 kB to 16 kB for a Skeleton template). Since v0.3.0, the default behavior is focused on Tailwind classes only, with an optional legacy mode for broader purging. Note: Tailwind v4 will make this plugin obsolete.
