Juice
Given HTML, juice will inline your CSS properties into the style
attribute.
How to use
Juice has a number of functions based on whether you want to process a file, HTML string, or a cheerio document, and whether you want juice to automatically get remote stylesheets, scripts and image dataURIs to inline.
To inline HTML without getting remote resources, using default options:
var juice = require('juice');
var result = juice("<style>div{color:red;}</style><div/>");
result will be:
<div style="color: red;"></div>

Documentation
Juice is exposed as a standard module, and from CLI with a smaller set of options.

Global settings
juice.codeBlocks
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 juice.codeBlocks.HBS = {start: '{{', end: '}}'}
. codeBlocks
can fix problems where otherwise juice 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 juice.codeBlocks = {...}
do juice.codeBlocks.myBlock = {...}
juice.ignoredPseudos
Array of ignored pseudo-selectors such as 'hover' and 'active'.
juice.widthElements
Array of HTML elements that can receive width
attributes.
juice.heightElements
Array of HTML elements that can receive height
attributes.
juice.styleToAttribute
Object of style property names (key) to their respective attribute names (value).
juice.tableElements
Array of table HTML elements that can receive attributes defined in juice.styleToAttribute
.
juice.nonVisualElements
Array of elements that will not have styles inlined because they are not intended to render.
juiceClient.excludedProperties
Array of css properties that won't be inlined.
Special markup
data-embed
When a data-embed
attribute is present on a stylesheet <link>
that has been inlined into the document as a <style></style>
tag by the web-resource-inliner juice 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.
CLI Options
To use Juice from CLI, run juice [options] input.html output.html
For a listing of all available options, just type juice -h
.
Note that if you want to just type
juice
from the command line, you shouldnpm install juice -g
so it is globally available.
CLI Options:
The CLI should have all the above options with the names changed from camel case to hyphen-delimited, so for example extraCss
becomes extra-css
and webResources.scripts
becomes web-resources-scripts
.
These are additional options not included in the standard juice
options listed above:
--css [filepath]
will load and inject CSS intoextraCss
.--options-file [filepath]
will load and inject options from a JSON file. Options from the CLI will be given priority over options in the file when there is a conflict.codeBlocks
is optionally supported in the options file if you include it. This will allow you to support different template languages in a build process.
Running Juice in the Browser
Attempting to Browserify require('juice')
fails because portions of Juice and its dependencies interact with the file system using the standard require('fs')
. However, you can require('juice/client')
via Browserify which has support for juiceDocument
, inlineDocument
, and inlineContent
, but not juiceFile
, juiceResources
, or inlineExternal
. Note that automated tests are not running in the browser yet.
