Automatic compilation of Gutenberg blocks

[igorlopasovsky]

I am obviously struggling with JIT when using Gutenberg blocks. Wouldn't it be somehow possible to render all templates to temporary file first and then include this in the purge option in tailwind config? Safelist works fine for simple themes but not for complex designs with hundres of classes. I think this is the only real issue I've discovered so far.

Thank you for an amazing theme Jeffrey, really appreciate it.

I agree that purge as it is is not ideal. But because it is not a bug, I've transferred it to a discussion.

I've been thinking about a ways of trying enhance this, but so far no real solutions I'm afraid. The problem for example with figuring out the template files with fast-glob or something along those lines, and then passing those to purge list, makes it that it doesn't pick up on newly created files anymore.

Thank you @jeffreyvr for reply.

What do you think about skipping the purge option completely? I suppose it's not that bad Using the default configuration, the development build of Tailwind CSS is 3566.2kB uncompressed, 289.2kB minified and compressed with Gzip, and 71.3kB when compressed with Brotli.
