gulp-inline-css 
Inline your CSS properties into the
styleattribute in an html file. Useful for emails.
Inspired by the grunt plugin grunt-inline-css. Uses the inline-css module.
- Uses Promises with inline-css version 2.0
This gulp plugin takes an html file and inlines the CSS properties into the style attribute.
/path/to/file.html:
<html>
<head>
<style>
p { color: red; }
</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<p>Test</p>
</body>
</html>style.css
p {
text-decoration: underline;
}Output:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p style="color: red; text-decoration: underline;">Test</p>
</body>
</html>- HTML emails. For a comprehensive list of supported selectors see here
- Embedding HTML in 3rd-party websites.
- Performance. Downloading external stylesheets delays the rendering of the page in the browser. Inlining CSS speeds up this process because the browser doesn't have to wait to download an external stylesheet to start rendering the page.
Install with npm
npm install --save-dev gulp-inline-css
var gulp = require('gulp'),
inlineCss = require('gulp-inline-css');
gulp.task('default', function() {
return gulp.src('./*.html')
.pipe(inlineCss())
.pipe(gulp.dest('build/'));
});With options:
var gulp = require('gulp'),
inlineCss = require('gulp-inline-css');
gulp.task('default', function() {
return gulp.src('./*.html')
.pipe(inlineCss({
applyStyleTags: true,
applyLinkTags: true,
removeStyleTags: true,
removeLinkTags: true
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('build/'));
});Options are passed directly to inline-css.
Type: String
Default: ""
Extra css to apply to the file.
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Whether to inline styles in <style></style>.
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Whether to resolve <link rel="stylesheet"> tags and inline the resulting styles.
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Whether to remove the original <style></style> tags after (possibly) inlining the css from them.
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Whether to remove the original <link rel="stylesheet"> tags after (possibly) inlining the css from them.
Type: String
Default: filePath
How to resolve hrefs. Required.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Preserves all media queries (and contained styles) within <style></style> tags as a refinement when removeStyleTags is true. Other styles are removed.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Whether to use any CSS pixel widths to create width attributes on elements.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Whether to apply the border, cellpadding and cellspacing attributes to table elements.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Whether to remove the class and id attributes from the markup.
Type: Object
Default: { EJS: { start: '<%', end: '%>' }, HBS: { start: '{{', end: '}}' } }
An object where each value has a start and end to specify fenced code blocks that should be ignored during parsing and inlining. For example, Handlebars (hbs) templates are HBS: {start: '{{', end: '}}'}. codeBlocks can fix problems where otherwise inline-css might interpret code like <= as HTML, when it is meant to be template language code. Note that codeBlocks is a dictionary which can contain many different code blocks, so don't do codeBlocks: {...} do codeBlocks.myBlock = {...}.
When a data-embed attribute is present on a <style></style> tag, inline-css will not inline the styles and will not remove the <style></style> tags.
This can be used to embed email client support hacks that rely on css selectors into your email templates.
Options to passed to cheerio.
