# Tiny CSS Compiler

The compiler for tiny-css. It optimizes & injects styles relative to classnames defined in the provided HTML files & only inserts them and not a byte more than them.

# Features

-   Lowers the weight of css bundle
-   Really good for SSR(Server Side Render) as it would output only css style declaration that are relative to classnames defined in the static HTML files
-   Removes unimportant style declarations from the output.css file. Very efficient for heavy css frameworks like [bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) or [materialize](https://materializecss.com/) as it only keeps the necessary style declarations
-   It not only works with [Tiny-CSS](https://github.com/tiny-css/tiny-css) but also with all kinds of css frameworks if the stylesheet defined classes are passed as an JSON files to `--classes` option and stylesheet with `--input` option

## Installation
