Browser debug utilities
=======================

[](#browser-debug-utilities)

This project contains several scripts that make the process of debugging browser engines much easier (some special cases excepted). The hallmark feature of this project is its integration with `uncss` to automate the process of removing unused CSS rules.

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

- `bdu-outline-scripts`: replaces all inline script elements with references to outline script files.
- `bdu-outline-styles`: replaces all inline style elements with references to outline style files.
- `bdu-replace-outlined-styles`: deletes all outlined styles and inserts the contents of STDIN at the top of the document.
- `bdu-prepare`: automatically runs `bdu-outline-scripts` and `bdu-outline-styles`, then pipes the output of `uncss` into `bdu-replace-outlined-styles` to remove all unused CSS rules.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

This project requires `composer` and `npm` to be available, and both of their respective bin directories should be in your PATH environment variable. Additionally, PHP 7.2 or greater is required.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
npm install -g prettier uncss
composer global require clayfreeman/browser-debug-utils
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Create your minimum viable test case using the inspector in your favorite browser (e.g., delete all unnecessary elements and external resources).
2. Save the modified page in a way that is completely accessible offline.
3. Run the aggregate script, `bdu-prepare /path/to/index.html`, or any of the other scripts provided by this project.
